prepare_for_delete_or_cut() can process several types of items, including indirect items, ie: items which contain no file data but pointers to unformatted nodes scattering the datas of a file. In this case it has to zero out these pointers to block numbers of unformatted nodes and release the bitmap from these block numbers. It can take some time, so a rescheduling() is performed between each block processed. We can safely release the write lock while rescheduling(), like the bkl did, because the code checks just after if the item has moved after sleeping.

When do_journal_end() copies data to the journal blocks buffers in memory, it reschedules if needed between each block copied and dirtyfied. We can also release the write lock at this rescheduling stage, like did the bkl implicitly.

fs_changed() is a macro used by reiserfs to check whether its tree has been rebalanced. It has been designed to check parallel changes on the tree after calling a sleeping function, which released the Bkl. fs_changed() also calls cond_resched(), so that if rescheduling is needed, we are in the best place to do that, since we check if the tree has changed just after (because of the bkl release on schedule()). Even if we are not anymore using the Bkl, we still want to release the lock while we reschedule, so that other waiters for the lock can acquire it safely, because of the following __fs_changed() check.

Impact: fix a deadlock reiserfs_dirty_inode() is the super_operations::dirty_inode() callback of reiserfs. It can be called from different contexts where the write lock can be already held. But this function also grab the write lock (possibly recursively). Subsequent release of the lock before sleep will actually not release the lock if the caller of mark_inode_dirty() (which in turn calls reiserfs_dirty_inode()) already owns the lock. A typical case: reiserfs_write_end() { acquire_write_lock() mark_inode_dirty() { reiserfs_dirty_inode() { reacquire_write_lock() { journal_begin() { do_journal_begin_r() { /* * fail to release, still * one depth of lock */ release_write_lock() reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() { wait_event() The event is usually provided by something which needs the write lock but it hasn't been released. We use reiserfs_write_lock_once() here to ensure we only grab the write lock in one level.

Impact: fix a deadlock reiserfs_truncate_file() can be called from multiple context where the write lock can be already hold or not. This function also acquire (possibly recursively) the write lock. Subsequent releases before sleeping will not actually release the lock because we may be in more than one lock depth degree. A typical case is: reiserfs_file_release { acquire_the_lock() reiserfs_truncate_file() reacquire_the_lock() journal_begin() { do_journal_begin_r() { reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() { /* * Not released because still one * depth owned */ release_lock() wait_for_event() At this stage the event never happen because the one which provides it needs the write lock. We use reiserfs_write_lock_once() here to ensure that we don't acquire the write lock recursively.

Sometimes we don't want to recursively hold the per superblock write lock because we want to be sure it is actually released when we come to sleep. This patch introduces the necessary tools for that. reiserfs_write_lock_once() does the same job than reiserfs_write_lock() except that it won't try to acquire recursively the lock if the current task already owns it. Also the lock_depth before the call of this function is returned. reiserfs_write_unlock_once() unlock only if reiserfs_write_lock_once() returned a depth equal to -1, ie: only if it actually locked.

Impact: fix a deadlock The j_flush_mutex is acquired safely in journal.c: if we can't take it, we free the reiserfs per superblock lock and wait a bit. But we have a remaining place in kupdate_transactions() where j_flush_mutex is still acquired traditionnaly. Thus the following scenario (warned by lockdep) can happen: A B mutex_lock(&write_lock) mutex_lock(&write_lock) mutex_lock(&j_flush_mutex) mutex_lock(&j_flush_mutex) //block mutex_unlock(&write_lock) sleep... mutex_lock(&write_lock) //deadlock Fix this by using reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() in kupdate_transactions().

This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from reiserfs and is intended. It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from concurrent write accesses on the filesystem. Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl: - It can be acqquired recursively by a same task - It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex. - We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks of the code. - We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed (schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and reacquire our new lock explicitly. Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected starvations or deadlocks. So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the bkl. For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the superblock information structure. The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers. The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(), wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some. Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue (aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads. The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks. This is fine with the bkl: T1 T2 lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) unlock_kernel() // do something lock_kernel() mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() (and then unlock_kernel()) lock_kernel() mutex_unlock(A) .... This is not fine with a mutex: T1 T2 mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) mutex_unlock(write) // do something mutex_lock(write) mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1 schedule() mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2 deadlock The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another simulation of the bkl behaviour. The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held, according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking. Those are: - reiserfs_remount - reiserfs_fill_super - reiserfs_put_super Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks. But now we must take care of that with the new locking. After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now). On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs) when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops turned out to be BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084 IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915] and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do i915_gem_idle() -> i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() -> i915_gem_cleanup_hws() -> dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL; but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference. And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt, and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is simply a silently hung machine. Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than after.

Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the page remains pinned forever.
