This patch fixes an deadlock issue when dlm_lowcomms_close() is called. When dlm_lowcomms_close() is called the clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex is held to remove configfs items. At this time we flushing (e.g. cancel_work_sync()) the workers of send and recv workqueue. Due the fact that we accessing configfs items (mark values), these workers will lock clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex as well which are already hold by dlm_lowcomms_close() and ends in a deadlock situation. [67170.703046] ====================================================== [67170.703965] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [67170.704758] 5.11.0-rc4+ #22 Tainted: G W [67170.705433] ------------------------------------------------------ [67170.706228] dlm_controld/280 is trying to acquire lock: [67170.706915] ffff9f2f475a6948 ((wq_completion)dlm_recv){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __flush_work+0x203/0x4c0 [67170.708026] but task is already holding lock: [67170.708758] ffffffffa132f878 (&clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: configfs_rmdir+0x29b/0x310 [67170.710016] which lock already depends on the new lock. The new behaviour adds the mark value to the node address configuration which doesn't require to held the clusters_root.subsys.su_mutex by accessing mark values in a separate datastructure. However the mark values can be set now only after a node address was set which is the case when the user is using dlm_controld.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
