[CAUSE]
Btrfs device scan will call is_same_device() with device_list_mutex
held. But is_same_device() will call kern_path() which will do path
resolution and lock the inode.
So device scan has the following lock sequence:
mutex_lock(device_list_mutex) from device_list_add()
|
v
inode_lock_shared() from lookup_slow() during kern_path().
Meanwhile another thread is fsyncing, which has the following
lock sequence:
inode_lock() from btrfs_inode_lock() inside btrfs_direct_write()
|
v
mutex_lock(tree_log_mutex() from btrfs_sync_log(), which is further
triggered from
iomap_dio_complete()->generic_write_sync()->btrfs_sync_file().
|
v
mutex_lock(device_list_mutex) from write_all_supers() inside
btrfs_sync_log().
So the device scan has a reversed lock sequence, compared to the fsync
one, this means we can have the following deadlock:
Device scan | Fsync
----------------------------------------+--------------------------------
device_list_mutex locked |
| inode locked
| try to lock device_list_mutex
try to lock inode |
[FIX]
Instead of a full path lookup, use dev_t to determine if two device
paths are pointing to the same block device.
Inside kernel dev_t is going to uniquely determine a block device, and
the device path lookup is already done by lookup_bdev(), which is done
without device_list_mutex held, thus no reversed locking sequence.
