[PATCH 5.4 38/50] btrfs: fix lockdep warning while mounting sprout fs

[ Upstream commit c124706900c20dee70f921bb3a90492431561a0a ]

Following test case reproduces lockdep warning.

Test case:

$ mkfs.btrfs -f <dev1>
$ btrfstune -S 1 <dev1>
$ mount <dev1> <mnt>
$ btrfs device add <dev2> <mnt> -f
$ umount <mnt>
$ mount <dev2> <mnt>
$ umount <mnt>

The warning claims a possible ABBA deadlock between the threads
initiated by [#1] btrfs device add and [#0] the mount.

stack backtrace:

But the device_list_mutex in clone_fs_devices() is redundant, as
explained below. Two threads [1] and [2] (below) could lead to
clone_fs_device().

[1]
open_ctree <== mount sprout fs
btrfs_read_chunk_tree()
mutex_lock(&uuid_mutex) <== global lock
read_one_dev()
open_seed_devices()
clone_fs_devices() <== seed fs_devices
mutex_lock(&orig->device_list_mutex) <== seed fs_devices

[2]
btrfs_init_new_device() <== sprouting
mutex_lock(&uuid_mutex); <== global lock
btrfs_prepare_sprout()
lockdep_assert_held(&uuid_mutex)
clone_fs_devices(seed_fs_device) <== seed fs_devices

Both of these threads hold uuid_mutex which is sufficient to protect
getting the seed device(s) freed while we are trying to clone it for
sprouting [2] or mounting a sprout [1] (as above). A mounted seed device
can not free/write/replace because it is read-only. An unmounted seed
device can be freed by btrfs_free_stale_devices(), but it needs
uuid_mutex. So this patch removes the unnecessary device_list_mutex in
clone_fs_devices(). And adds a lockdep_assert_held(&uuid_mutex) in
clone_fs_devices().
