Subject: [12/55] mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex before closing file on bad swapfiles
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:47:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110325234840.165573424@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110325234853.GA21145@kroah.com>

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

commit 52c50567d8ab0a0a87f12cceaa4194967854f0bd upstream.

If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is
taken (as it is for any swapfile) but later identified to be a bad swapfile
due to the lack of bmap and tries to cleanup. During cleanup, an attempt is
made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS
file syncs it which tries to acquire the inode mutex leading to deadlock. If
lockdep is enabled the following appears on the console;

    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
    2.6.38-rc8-autobuild #1
    ---------------------------------------------
    swapon/2192 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7

    other info that might help us debug this:
    1 lock held by swapon/2192:
     #0:  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7

    stack backtrace:
    Pid: 2192, comm: swapon Not tainted 2.6.38-rc8-autobuild #1

        sysret_check+0x2e/0x69
        system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This patch releases the mutex if its held before calling filep_close()
so swapon fails as expected without deadlock when the swapfile is backed
by NFS.  If accepted for 2.6.39, it should also be considered a -stable
candidate for 2.6.38 and 2.6.37.
