bcache: fix potential deadlock problem in btree_gc_coalesce
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885932 [ Upstream commit be23e837 ] coccicheck reports: drivers/md//bcache/btree.c:1538:1-7: preceding lock on line 1417 In btree_gc_coalesce func, if the coalescing process fails, we will goto to out_nocoalesce tag directly without releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock. Then, it will cause a deadlock when trying to acquire new_nodes[i]-> write_lock for freeing new_nodes[i] before return. btree_gc_coalesce func details as follows: if alloc new_nodes[i] fails: goto out_nocoalesce; // obtain new_nodes[i]->write_lock mutex_lock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock) // main coalescing process for (i = nodes - 1; i > 0; --i) [snipped] if coalescing process fails: // Here, directly goto out_nocoalesce // tag will cause a deadlock goto out_nocoalesce; [snipped] // release new_nodes[i]->write_lock mutex_unlock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock) // coalesing succ, return return; out_nocoalesce: btree_node_free(new_nodes[i]) // free new_nodes[i] // obtain new_nodes[i]->write_lock mutex_lock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock); // set flag for reuse clear_bit(BTREE_NODE_dirty, &ew_nodes[i]->flags); // release new_nodes[i]->write_lock mutex_unlock(&new_nodes[i]->write_lock); To fix the problem, we add a new tag 'out_unlock_nocoalesce' for releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock before out_nocoalesce tag. If coalescing process fails, we will go to out_unlock_nocoalesce tag for releasing new_nodes[i]->write_lock before free new_nodes[i] in out_nocoalesce tag.
