gfs2: move freeze glock outside the make_fs_rw and _ro functions
[ Upstream commit 96b1454 ] Before this patch, sister functions gfs2_make_fs_rw and gfs2_make_fs_ro locked (held) the freeze glock by calling gfs2_freeze_lock and gfs2_freeze_unlock. The problem is, not all the callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro should be doing this. The three callers of gfs2_make_fs_ro are: remount (gfs2_reconfigure), signal_our_withdraw, and unmount (gfs2_put_super). But when unmounting the file system we can get into the following circular lock dependency: deactivate_super down_write(&s->s_umount); <-------------------------------------- s_umount deactivate_locked_super gfs2_kill_sb kill_block_super generic_shutdown_super gfs2_put_super gfs2_make_fs_ro gfs2_glock_nq_init sd_freeze_gl freeze_go_sync if (freeze glock in SH) freeze_super (vfs) down_write(&sb->s_umount); <------- s_umount This patch moves the hold of the freeze glock outside the two sister rw/ro functions to their callers, but it doesn't request the glock from gfs2_put_super, thus eliminating the circular dependency.
