Subject: [PATCH V2] ocfs2: fix dead lock caused by ocfs2_defrag_extent
Date: Sun,  2 Sep 2018 17:14:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180902091455.23862-1-lchen@suse.com> (raw)

ocfs2_defrag_extent may fall into dead lock.

ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
  ocfs2_ioctl_move_extents
    ocfs2_move_extents
      ocfs2_defrag_extent
        ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents

          ocfs2_reserve_clusters
            inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

	  __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log
            inode_lock GLOBAL_BITMAP_SYSTEM_INODE

As back trace shows above, ocfs2_reserve_clusters will call inode_lock
against the global bitmap if local allocator has not sufficient cluters.
Once global bitmap could meet the demand, ocfs2_reserve_cluster will
return success with global bitmap locked.

After ocfs2_reserve_cluster, if truncate log is full,
__ocfs2_flush_truncate_log will definitely fall into dead lock
because it needs to inode_lock global bitmap, which has
already been locked.

To fix this bug, we could remove from ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents
the code which intends to lock global allocator, and put the removed
code after __ocfs2_flush_truncate_log

The ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents has been refered by 2 places, one
is here, the other does not need the data allocator context, which means
this patch does not affect the caller so far.


Change log:
1. rename ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents to
   ocfs2_lock_meta_allocator_move_extents

2. add some comments
