From dc107c805cde709866b59867ef72b9390199205e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Le Moal Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2022 11:19:05 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix potential deadlock in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show() commit 41e46b3c2aa24f755b2ae9ec4ce931ba5f0d8532 upstream. When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the device is removed: [ 760.703551] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 760.703551] [ 760.703554] CPU0 CPU1 [ 760.703556] ---- ---- [ 760.703558] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703565] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703573] lock(&q->sysfs_lock); [ 760.703579] lock(kn->active#385); [ 760.703587] [ 760.703587] *** DEADLOCK *** Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().
