reiserfs: fix unwanted reiserfs lock recursion
Prevent from recursively locking the reiserfs lock in reiserfs_unpack() because we may call journal_begin() that requires the lock to be taken only once, otherwise it won't be able to release the lock while taking other mutexes, ending up in inverted dependencies between the journal mutex and the reiserfs lock for example. This fixes: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.35.4.4a #3 ------------------------------------------------------- lilo/1620 is trying to acquire lock: (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<d0325bff>] do_journal_begin_r+0x7f/0x340 [reiserfs] but task is already holding lock: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032a278>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}: [<c10562b7>] lock_acquire+0x67/0x80 [<c12facad>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4d/0x410 [<c12fb0c8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x18/0x20 [<d032a278>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs] [<d0325c06>] do_journal_begin_r+0x86/0x340 [reiserfs] [<d0325f77>] journal_begin+0x77/0x140 [reiserfs] [<d0315be4>] reiserfs_remount+0x224/0x530 [reiserfs] [<c10b6a20>] do_remount_sb+0x60/0x110 [<c10cee25>] do_mount+0x625/0x790 [<c10cf014>] sys_mount+0x84/0xb0 [<c12fca3d>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb -> #0 (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}: [<c10560f6>] __lock_acquire+0x1026/0x1180 [<c10562b7>] lock_acquire+0x67/0x80 [<c12facad>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4d/0x410 [<c12fb0c8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x18/0x20 [<d0325bff>] do_journal_begin_r+0x7f/0x340 [reiserfs] [<d0325f77>] journal_begin+0x77/0x140 [reiserfs] [<d0326271>] reiserfs_persistent_transaction+0x41/0x90 [reiserfs] [<d030d06c>] reiserfs_get_block+0x22c/0x1530 [reiserfs] [<c10db9db>] __block_prepare_write+0x1bb/0x3a0 [<c10dbbe6>] block_prepare_write+0x26/0x40 [<d030b738>] reiserfs_prepare_write+0x88/0x170 [reiserfs] [<d03294d6>] reiserfs_unpack+0xe6/0x120 [reiserfs] [<d0329782>] reiserfs_ioctl+0x272/0x320 [reiserfs] [<c10c3188>] vfs_ioctl+0x28/0xa0 [<c10c3bbd>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x32d/0x5c0 [<c10c3eb3>] sys_ioctl+0x63/0x70 [<c12fca3d>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by lilo/1620: #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032945a>] reiserfs_unpack+0x6a/0x120 [reiserfs] #1: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<d032a278>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [reiserfs] stack backtrace: Pid: 1620, comm: lilo Not tainted 2.6.35.4.4a #3 Call Trace: [<c10560f6>] __lock_acquire+0x1026/0x1180 [<c10562b7>] lock_acquire+0x67/0x80 [<c12facad>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4d/0x410 [<c12fb0c8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x18/0x20 [<d0325bff>] do_journal_begin_r+0x7f/0x340 [reiserfs] [<d0325f77>] journal_begin+0x77/0x140 [reiserfs] [<d0326271>] reiserfs_persistent_transaction+0x41/0x90 [reiserfs] [<d030d06c>] reiserfs_get_block+0x22c/0x1530 [reiserfs] [<c10db9db>] __block_prepare_write+0x1bb/0x3a0 [<c10dbbe6>] block_prepare_write+0x26/0x40 [<d030b738>] reiserfs_prepare_write+0x88/0x170 [reiserfs] [<d03294d6>] reiserfs_unpack+0xe6/0x120 [reiserfs] [<d0329782>] reiserfs_ioctl+0x272/0x320 [reiserfs] [<c10c3188>] vfs_ioctl+0x28/0xa0 [<c10c3bbd>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x32d/0x5c0 [<c10c3eb3>] sys_ioctl+0x63/0x70 [<c12fca3d>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Reported-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Tested-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Cc: All since 2.6.32 <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
