This deadlock is 100% reproducible. This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(), whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive. This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot mounts.
