dm: avoid _hash_lock deadlock
Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events on a device that is being removed. _hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the outstanding events. Sending the events requests the _hash_lock again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid. This patch introduces a separate lock around regions that modify the link to the hash table (dm_set_mdptr) or the name or uuid so that dm_copy_name_and_uuid no longer needs _hash_lock. Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG() while md is being freed. The deadlock: #0 [ffff8106298dfb48] schedule at ffffffff80063035 #1 [ffff8106298dfc20] __down_read at ffffffff8006475d #2 [ffff8106298dfc60] dm_copy_name_and_uuid at ffffffff8824f740 #3 [ffff8106298dfc90] dm_send_uevents at ffffffff88252685 #4 [ffff8106298dfcd0] event_callback at ffffffff8824c678 #5 [ffff8106298dfd00] dm_table_event at ffffffff8824dd01 #6 [ffff8106298dfd10] __hash_remove at ffffffff882507ad #7 [ffff8106298dfd30] dev_remove at ffffffff88250865 #8 [ffff8106298dfd60] ctl_ioctl at ffffffff88250d80 #9 [ffff8106298dfee0] do_ioctl at ffffffff800418c4 #10 [ffff8106298dff00] vfs_ioctl at ffffffff8002fab9 #11 [ffff8106298dff40] sys_ioctl at ffffffff8004bdaf #12 [ffff8106298dff80] tracesys at ffffffff8005d28d (via system_call) Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: guy keren <choo@actcom.co.il> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
