From 12b894cb288d57292b01cf158177b6d5c89a6272 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qu Wenruo Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 16:10:15 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Fix a deadlock in btrfs_dev_replace_finishing() btrfs-transacion:5657 [stack snip] btrfs_bio_map() btrfs_bio_counter_inc_blocked() percpu_counter_inc(&fs_info->bio_counter) ###bio_counter > 0(A) __btrfs_bio_map() btrfs_dev_replace_lock() mutex_lock(dev_replace->lock) ###wait mutex(B) btrfs:32612 [stack snip] btrfs_dev_replace_start() btrfs_dev_replace_lock() mutex_lock(dev_replace->lock) ###hold mutex(B) btrfs_dev_replace_finishing() btrfs_rm_dev_replace_blocked() wait until percpu_counter_sum == 0 ###wait on bio_counter(A) This bug can be triggered quite easily by the following test script: http://pastebin.com/MQmb37Cy This patch will fix the ABBA problem by calling btrfs_dev_replace_unlock() before btrfs_rm_dev_replace_blocked(). The consistency of btrfs devices list and their superblocks is protected by device_list_mutex, not btrfs_dev_replace_lock/unlock(). So it is safe the move btrfs_dev_replace_unlock() before btrfs_rm_dev_replace_blocked().
