NFSv4: Fix circular locking dependency in nfs4_kill_renewd
Erez Zadok reports: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.24-rc6-unionfs2 #80 ------------------------------------------------------- umount.nfs4/4017 is trying to acquire lock: (&(&clp->cl_renewd)->work){--..}, at: [<c0223e53>] __cancel_work_timer+0x83/0x17f but task is already holding lock: (&clp->cl_sem){----}, at: [<f8879897>] nfs4_kill_renewd+0x17/0x29 [nfs] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&clp->cl_sem){----}: [<c0230699>] __lock_acquire+0x9cc/0xb95 [<c0230c39>] lock_acquire+0x5f/0x78 [<c0397cb8>] down_read+0x3a/0x4c [<f88798e6>] nfs4_renew_state+0x1c/0x1b8 [nfs] [<c0223821>] run_workqueue+0xd9/0x1ac [<c0224220>] worker_thread+0x7a/0x86 [<c0226b49>] kthread+0x3b/0x62 [<c02033a3>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff -> #0 (&(&clp->cl_renewd)->work){--..}: [<c0230589>] __lock_acquire+0x8bc/0xb95 [<c0230c39>] lock_acquire+0x5f/0x78 [<c0223e87>] __cancel_work_timer+0xb7/0x17f [<c0223f5a>] cancel_delayed_work_sync+0xb/0xd [<f887989e>] nfs4_kill_renewd+0x1e/0x29 [nfs] [<f885a8f6>] nfs_free_client+0x37/0x9e [nfs] [<f885ab20>] nfs_put_client+0x5d/0x62 [nfs] [<f885ab9a>] nfs_free_server+0x75/0xae [nfs] [<f8862672>] nfs4_kill_super+0x27/0x2b [nfs] [<c0258aab>] deactivate_super+0x3f/0x51 [<c0269668>] mntput_no_expire+0x42/0x67 [<c025d0e4>] path_release_on_umount+0x15/0x18 [<c0269d30>] sys_umount+0x1a3/0x1cb [<c0269d71>] sys_oldumount+0x19/0x1b [<c02026ca>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0xa5 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff Looking at the code, it would seem that taking the clp->cl_sem in nfs4_kill_renewd is completely redundant, since we're already guaranteed to have exclusive access to the nfs_client (we're shutting down).
