fs/super.c: add lockdep annotation to s_umount
Li Zefan said:
Thread 1:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cpuset xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
cat /mnt/cpus > /dev/null 2>&1
umount /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
}
Thread 2:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cpuset xxx /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
umount /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
}
(Note: It is irrelevant which cgroup subsys is used.)
After a while a lockdep warning showed up:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.28 #479
---------------------------------------------
mount/13554 is trying to acquire lock:
(&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049d888>] sget+0x5e/0x321
but task is already holding lock:
(&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049da0c>] sget+0x1e2/0x321
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by mount/13554:
#0: (&type->s_umount_key#19){--..}, at: [<c049da0c>] sget+0x1e2/0x321

The cause is after alloc_super() and then retry, an old entry in list
fs_supers is found, so grab_super(old) is called, but both functions hold
s_umount lock:
struct super_block *sget(...)
{
...
retry:
spin_lock(&sb_lock);
if (test) {
list_for_each_entry(old, &type->fs_supers, s_instances) {
if (!test(old, data))
continue;
if (!grab_super(old)) <--- 2nd: down_write(&old->s_umount);
goto retry;
if (s)
destroy_super(s);
return old;
}
}
if (!s) {
spin_unlock(&sb_lock);
s = alloc_super(type); <--- 1th: down_write(&s->s_umount)
if (!s)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
goto retry;
}
...
}
It seems like a false positive, and seems like VFS but not cgroup needs to
be fixed.

We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't
particularly cares about subclass order.
If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock
being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix
that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.
