[PATCH 3.12 1/5] dm: fix AB-BA deadlock in __dm_destroy()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Oct 20 2016 - 04:51:12 EST


From: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 2a708cff93f1845b9239bc7d6310aef54e716c6a upstream.

__dm_destroy() takes io_barrier SRCU lock (dm_get_live_table) and
suspend_lock in reverse order. Doing so can cause AB-BA deadlock:

__dm_destroy dm_swap_table
---------------------------------------------------
mutex_lock(suspend_lock)
dm_get_live_table()
srcu_read_lock(io_barrier)
dm_sync_table()
synchronize_srcu(io_barrier)
.. waiting for dm_put_live_table()
mutex_lock(suspend_lock)
.. waiting for suspend_lock

Fix this by taking the locks in proper order.
