[PATCH 5.4 032/118] rbd: avoid a deadlock on header_rwsem when flushing notifies

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 06:18:17 EST


From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0e4e1de5b63fa423b13593337a27fd2d2b0bcf77 ]

rbd_unregister_watch() flushes notifies and therefore cannot be called
under header_rwsem because a header update notify takes header_rwsem to
synchronize with "rbd map". If mapping an image fails after the watch
is established and a header update notify sneaks in, we deadlock when
erroring out from rbd_dev_image_probe().

Move watch registration and unregistration out of the critical section.
The only reason they were put there was to make header_rwsem management
slightly more obvious.

Fixes: 811c66887746 ("rbd: fix rbd map vs notify races")
