    btrfs: don't force mounts to wait for cleaner_kthread to delete one or more subvolumes · 2f3165ec
    Zygo Blaxell 提交于
    During a mount, we start the cleaner kthread first because the transaction
    kthread wants to wake up the cleaner kthread.  We start the transaction
    kthread next because everything in btrfs wants transactions.  We do reloc
    recovery in the thread that was doing the original mount call once the
    transaction kthread is running.  This means that the cleaner kthread
    could already be running when reloc recovery happens (e.g. if a snapshot
    delete was started before a crash).
    
    Relocation does not play well with the cleaner kthread, so a mutex was
    added in commit 5f316481 "Btrfs: fix
    race between balance recovery and root deletion" to prevent both from
    being active at the same time.
    
    If the cleaner kthread is already holding the mutex by the time we get
    to btrfs_recover_relocation, the mount will be blocked until at least
    one deleted subvolume is cleaned (possibly more if the mount process
    doesn't get the lock right away).  During this time (which could be an
    arbitrarily long time on a large/slow filesystem), the mount process is
    stuck and the filesystem is unnecessarily inaccessible.
    
    Fix this by locking cleaner_mutex before we start cleaner_kthread, and
    unlocking the mutex after mount no longer requires it.  This ensures
    that the mounting process will not be blocked by the cleaner kthread.
    The cleaner kthread is already prepared for mutex contention and will
    just go to sleep until the mutex is available.
