    slub: make sysfs file removal asynchronous · 3b7b3140
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    Commit bf5eb3de ("slub: separate out sysfs_slab_release() from
    sysfs_slab_remove()") made slub sysfs file removals synchronous to
    kmem_cache shutdown.
    
    Unfortunately, this created a possible ABBA deadlock between slab_mutex
    and sysfs draining mechanism triggering the following lockdep warning.

    It'd be the cleanest to deal with the issue by removing sysfs files
    without holding slab_mutex before the rest of shutdown; however, given
    the current code structure, it is pretty difficult to do so.
    
    This patch punts sysfs file removal to a work item.  Before commit
    bf5eb3de, the removal was punted to a RCU delayed work item which is
    executed after release.  Now, we're punting to a different work item on
    shutdown which still maintains the goal removing the sysfs files earlier
    when destroying kmem_caches.
