Correct lock ASSERTs in vdev_label_read/write
The existing assertions in vdev_label_read() and vdev_label_write(), testing which config locks are held, are incorrect. The assertions test for locks which exceed what is required for safety. Both vdev_label_{read,write}() are changed to assert SCL_STATE is held as RW_READER or RW_WRITER. This is safe because: Changes to the vdev tree occur under SCL_ALL as RW_WRITER, via spa_vdev_enter() and spa_vdev_exit(). Changes to vdev state occur under SCL_STATE_ALL as RW_WRITER, via spa_vdev_state_enter() and spa_vdev_state_exit(). Therefore, the new assertions guarantee that the vdev cannot change out from under a zio, and I/O to a specified leaf vdev's label is safe. Furthermore, this is consistent with the SPA locking discussion in spa_misc.c, "For any zio operation that takes an explicit vdev_t argument ... zio_read_phys(), or zio_write_phys() ... SCL_STATE as reader suffices." Reviewed-by: Chunwei Chen <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Olaf Faaland <[email protected]> Closes #5983
