Subject: [PATCH 2/7] block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open
Date: Wed,  8 Apr 2015 02:23:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428474226-27386-3-git-send-email-jarod@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1428474226-27386-1-git-send-email-jarod@redhat.com>

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>

The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and
in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for
rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex.

So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may
fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context:

blkid or other application:
	->open()
		->mutex_lock(bd_mutex)
		->lo_open()
			->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)

losetup(set fd ioctl):
	->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)
	->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART)
		->trylock(bd_mutex)

This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing
lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach:

1) introduce lo_open_mutex to protect lo_refcnt and avoid acquiring
lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open():
	- for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex
	- lo_open_mutex is used for syncing open() and loop_clr_fd()
	- both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already

2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in
lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.
