[PATCH v6 0/2] blktrace: Fix deadlock problem

[Waiman Long]

 v6:
  - Add a second patch to rename the bd_fsfreeze_mutex to
    bd_fsfreeze_blktrace_mutex.

 v5:
  - Overload the bd_fsfreeze_mutex in block_device structure for
    blktrace protection.

 v4:
  - Use blktrace_mutex in blk_trace_ioctl() as well.

 v3:
  - Use a global blktrace_mutex to serialize sysfs attribute accesses
    instead of the bd_mutex.

 v2:
  - Use READ_ONCE() and smp_store_mb() to read and write bd_deleting.
  - Check for signal in the mutex_trylock loops.
  - Use usleep() instead of schedule() for RT tasks.

This patchset fixes a potential blktrace deadlock problem between
block device deletion and sysfs operations.
