nilfs2: fix possible circular locking for get information ioctls
This is one of two patches which are to correct possible circular locking between mm->mmap_sem and nilfs->ns_segctor_sem. The problem was detected by lockdep check as follows: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 ------------------------------------------------------- mmap/5418 is trying to acquire lock: (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}, at: [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] but task is already holding lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: [<c01470a5>] __lock_acquire+0x1066/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c01836bc>] might_fault+0x68/0x88 [<c023c730>] copy_to_user+0x2c/0xfc [<d0d11b4f>] nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy+0x103/0x160 [nilfs2] [<d0d11fa9>] nilfs_ioctl+0x30a/0x3b0 [nilfs2] [<c01a3be7>] vfs_ioctl+0x22/0x69 [<c01a408e>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x460/0x499 [<c01a4107>] sys_ioctl+0x40/0x5a [<c01031a4>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff -> #0 (&nilfs->ns_segctor_sem){++++.+}: [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by mmap/5418: #0: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c043700a>] do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a stack backtrace: Pid: 5418, comm: mmap Not tainted 2.6.30-rc3-nilfs-00002-g3552613 #6 Call Trace: [<c0432145>] ? printk+0xf/0x12 [<c0145c48>] print_circular_bug_tail+0xaa/0xb5 [<c0146e0b>] __lock_acquire+0xdcc/0x13b0 [<d0d10149>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0x1e/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c013b59a>] ? up_read+0x16/0x2c [<d0d10225>] ? nilfs_sufile_get_stat+0xfa/0x105 [nilfs2] [<c01474a9>] lock_acquire+0xba/0xdd [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<c0433f1d>] down_read+0x2a/0x3e [<d0d0e852>] ? nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0d0e852>] nilfs_transaction_begin+0xb6/0x10c [nilfs2] [<d0cfe0e5>] nilfs_page_mkwrite+0xe7/0x154 [nilfs2] [<c0183b0b>] __do_fault+0x165/0x376 [<c01855cd>] handle_mm_fault+0x287/0x5d1 [<c043700a>] ? do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x30a [<c013b54f>] ? down_read_trylock+0x39/0x43 [<c043712d>] do_page_fault+0x2fb/0x30a [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a [<c0435462>] error_code+0x72/0x78 [<c0436e32>] ? do_page_fault+0x0/0x30a This makes the lock granularity of nilfs->ns_segctor_sem finer than that of the mmap semaphore for ioctl commands except nilfs_clean_segments(). The successive patch ("nilfs2: fix lock order reversal in nilfs_clean_segments ioctl") is required to fully resolve the problem. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>
