      vfat: fix 'sync' mount deadlock due to BKL->lock_super conversion · 5f22ca9b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      There was another FAT BKL conversion deadlock reported by Bart
      Trojanowski due to the BKL being used as a recursive lock by FAT, which
      was missed because it only triggers with 'sync' (or 'dirsync') mounts.
      
      The recursion worked for the BKL, but after the conversion to lock_super
      (which uses a mutex), it just deadlocks.
      
      Thanks to Bart for debugging this and testing the fix.  The lock
      debugging information from the original report:
      
        =============================================

         =======================
      
      where the deadlock is due to the nesting of lock_super from vfat_unlink
      to fat_write_inode:
      
       - do_unlinkat
         - vfs_unlink
           - vfat_unlink
             * lock_super
             - fat_remove_entries
               - fat_sync_inode
                 - fat_write_inode
                   * lock_super
      
      and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.
      
      The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
      kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
      there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
      accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact).  The only
      code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
      variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
      sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).
      
      Bart reports:
       "Looks good.  I ran 10 parallel processes creating 1M files truncating
        them, writing to them again and then deleting them.  This patch fixes
        the issue I ran into.

      Replace BKL with superblock lock in fat/msdos/vfat · 8f593427
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the
      existing superblock lock instead.
      
      The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private
      spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been
      dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just
      a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do.
      
      As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible
      latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to
      the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for
      entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.
