Fix zpl_mount() deadlock
Commit 93b43af10 inadvertently introduced the following scenario which can result in a deadlock. This issue was most easily reproduced by LXD containers using a ZFS storage backend but should be reproducible under any workload which is frequently mounting and unmounting. -- THREAD A -- spa_sync() spa_sync_upgrades() rrw_enter(&dp->dp_config_rwlock, RW_WRITER, FTAG); <- Waiting on B -- THREAD B -- mount_fs() zpl_mount() zpl_mount_impl() dmu_objset_hold() dmu_objset_hold_flags() dsl_pool_hold() dsl_pool_config_enter() rrw_enter(&dp->dp_config_rwlock, RW_READER, tag); sget() sget_userns() grab_super() down_write(&s->s_umount); <- Waiting on C -- THREAD C -- cleanup_mnt() deactivate_super() down_write(&s->s_umount); deactivate_locked_super() zpl_kill_sb() kill_anon_super() generic_shutdown_super() sync_filesystem() zpl_sync_fs() zfs_sync() zil_commit() txg_wait_synced() <- Waiting on A Reviewed by: Alek Pinchuk <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #7598 Closes #7659 Closes #7691 Closes #7693
