Subjectpage fault deadlock
From
Hi,

When I upgrade to latest kernel, I found my system hang there. It
is reproducible on my virtualbox, and I found each time I mounted my
RAID6 partition and tried to vi or build kernel, my whole system
lockup very soon.

After turning on lockdep, I found following lockdep warning:

I think it is a real deadlock, and it is caused by commit
3124eb1679b28726 "sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling".

With that commit, sysfs_bin_mmap will hold of->mutex.

So assume cpu0 called sysfs_bin_mmap, acquired mmap_sem and trying
to get of->mutex.

CPU1 called sysfs_seq_show, acqured of->mutex and trying to
get mddev->reconfig_mutex.

CPU2 called md_ioctl, acquired mddev->reconfig_mutex, and
later call copy_from_user and page fault trying to get mmap_sem.

DEADLOCK now. I can't test the effort of reverting 3124eb16 as
there're a whole patchset and many commits after that. But I do
believe it's buggy and the root cause of my system hang.

CPU0: CPU1:
CPU2:
lock(&mm->mmap_sem)
lock(&of->mutex);

lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex)

lock(&mm->mmap_sem)

lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex)
lock(&of->mutex)

Can we revert commit 3124eb167? or any patches to solve this page
fault deadlock? Thanks.


Best Regards
Xiaotian
