[ Upstream commit 36d4cb460bcbe2a1323732a6e4bb9dd783284368 ] The approach for adding a device to the devices_idr data structure and for removing it is as follows: * &dev->dev_group.cg_item is initialized before a device is added to devices_idr. * If the reference count of a device drops to zero then target_free_device() removes the device from devices_idr. * All devices_idr manipulations are protected by device_mutex. This means that increasing the reference count of a device is sufficient to prevent removal from devices_idr and also that it is safe access dev_group.cg_item for any device that is referenced by devices_idr. Use this to modify target_find_device() and target_for_each_device() such that these functions no longer introduce a dependency between device_mutex and the configfs root inode mutex. Note: it is safe to pass a NULL pointer to config_item_put() and also to config_item_get_unless_zero(). This patch prevents that lockdep reports the following complaint: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 4.12.0-rc1-dbg+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ rmdir/12053 is trying to acquire lock: (device_mutex#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa010afce>] target_free_device+0xae/0xf0 [target_core_mod] but task is already holding lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff811c5c30>] vfs_rmdir+0x50/0x140 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){++++++}: lock_acquire+0x59/0x80 down_write+0x36/0x70 configfs_depend_item+0x3a/0xb0 [configfs] target_depend_item+0x13/0x20 [target_core_mod] target_xcopy_locate_se_dev_e4_iter+0x87/0x100 [target_core_mod] target_devices_idr_iter+0x16/0x20 [target_core_mod] idr_for_each+0x39/0xc0 target_for_each_device+0x36/0x50 [target_core_mod] target_xcopy_locate_se_dev_e4+0x28/0x80 [target_core_mod] target_xcopy_do_work+0x2e9/0xdd0 [target_core_mod] process_one_work+0x1ca/0x3f0 worker_thread+0x49/0x3b0 kthread+0x109/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 -> #0 (device_mutex#2){+.+.+.}: __lock_acquire+0x101f/0x11d0 lock_acquire+0x59/0x80 __mutex_lock+0x7e/0x950 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 target_free_device+0xae/0xf0 [target_core_mod] target_core_dev_release+0x10/0x20 [target_core_mod] config_item_put+0x6e/0xb0 [configfs] configfs_rmdir+0x1a6/0x300 [configfs] vfs_rmdir+0xb7/0x140 do_rmdir+0x1f4/0x200 SyS_rmdir+0x11/0x20 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc2 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14); lock(device_mutex#2); lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14); lock(device_mutex#2); *** DEADLOCK *** 3 locks held by rmdir/12053: #0: (sb_writers#10){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff811e223f>] mnt_want_write+0x1f/0x50 #1: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14/1){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811cb97e>] do_rmdir+0x15e/0x200 #2: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff811c5c30>] vfs_rmdir+0x50/0x140 stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 12053 Comm: rmdir Not tainted 4.12.0-rc1-dbg+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.0.0-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xcf print_circular_bug+0x1c7/0x220 __lock_acquire+0x101f/0x11d0 lock_acquire+0x59/0x80 __mutex_lock+0x7e/0x950 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 target_free_device+0xae/0xf0 [target_core_mod] target_core_dev_release+0x10/0x20 [target_core_mod] config_item_put+0x6e/0xb0 [configfs] configfs_rmdir+0x1a6/0x300 [configfs] vfs_rmdir+0xb7/0x140 do_rmdir+0x1f4/0x200 SyS_rmdir+0x11/0x20 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc2 Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@wdc.com> [Rebased to handle conflict withe target_find_device removal] Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
