Fix lockdep recursive locking false positive in dbuf_destroy

lockdep reports a possible recursive lock in dbuf_destroy. It is true that dbuf_destroy is acquiring the dn_dbufs_mtx on one dnode while holding it on another dnode. However, it is impossible for these to be the same dnode because, among other things,dbuf_destroy checks MUTEX_HELD before acquiring the mutex. This fix defines a class NESTED_SINGLE == 1 and changes that lock to call mutex_enter_nested with a subclass of NESTED_SINGLE. In order to make the userspace code compile, include/sys/zfs_context.h now defines mutex_enter_nested and NESTED_SINGLE. This is the lockdep report: [ 122.950921] ============================================ [ 122.950921] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected [ 122.950921] 4.19.29-4.19.0-debug-d69edad5368c1166 #1 Tainted: G O [ 122.950921] -------------------------------------------- [ 122.950921] dbu_evict/1457 is trying to acquire lock: [ 122.950921] 0000000083e9cbcf (&dn->dn_dbufs_mtx){+.+.}, at: dbuf_destroy+0x3c0/0xdb0 [zfs] [ 122.950921] but task is already holding lock: [ 122.950921] 0000000055523987 (&dn->dn_dbufs_mtx){+.+.}, at: dnode_evict_dbufs+0x90/0x740 [zfs] [ 122.950921] other info that might help us debug this: [ 122.950921] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 122.950921] CPU0 [ 122.950921] ---- [ 122.950921] lock(&dn->dn_dbufs_mtx); [ 122.950921] lock(&dn->dn_dbufs_mtx); [ 122.950921] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 122.950921] May be due to missing lock nesting notation [ 122.950921] 1 lock held by dbu_evict/1457: [ 122.950921] #0: 0000000055523987 (&dn->dn_dbufs_mtx){+.+.}, at: dnode_evict_dbufs+0x90/0x740 [zfs] [ 122.950921] stack backtrace: [ 122.950921] CPU: 0 PID: 1457 Comm: dbu_evict Tainted: G O 4.19.29-4.19.0-debug-d69edad5368c1166 #1 [ 122.950921] Hardware name: Supermicro H8SSL-I2/H8SSL-I2, BIOS 080011 03/13/2009 [ 122.950921] Call Trace: [ 122.950921] dump_stack+0x91/0xeb [ 122.950921] __lock_acquire+0x2ca7/0x4f10 [ 122.950921] lock_acquire+0x153/0x330 [ 122.950921] dbuf_destroy+0x3c0/0xdb0 [zfs] [ 122.950921] dbuf_evict_one+0x1cc/0x3d0 [zfs] [ 122.950921] dbuf_rele_and_unlock+0xb84/0xd60 [zfs] [ 122.950921] dnode_evict_dbufs+0x3a6/0x740 [zfs] [ 122.950921] dmu_objset_evict+0x7a/0x500 [zfs] [ 122.950921] dsl_dataset_evict_async+0x70/0x480 [zfs] [ 122.950921] taskq_thread+0x979/0x1480 [spl] [ 122.950921] kthread+0x2e7/0x3e0 [ 122.950921] ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50 Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <hutter2@llnl.gov> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@akamai.com> Closes openzfs#8984
