Hello,
My static analysis tool reports several possible ABBA deadlocks in Linux
5.10:
do_thaw_all_callback()
down_write(&sb->s_umount); --> Line 1028 (Lock A)
emergency_thaw_bdev()
thaw_bdev()
mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex); --> Line 602 (Lock B)
freeze_bdev()
mutex_lock(&bdev->bd_fsfreeze_mutex); --> Line 556 (Lock B)
freeze_super()
down_write(&sb->s_umount); --> Line 1716 (Lock A)
down_write(&sb->s_umount); --> Line 1738 (Lock A)
deactivate_super()
down_write(&s->s_umount); --> Line 365 (Lock A)
When do_thaw_all_callback() and freeze_bdev() are concurrently executed,
the deadlocks can occur.
I am not quite sure whether these possible deadlocks are real and how to
fix them if them are real.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks :)
