btrfs: do not take the uuid_mutex in btrfs_rm_device
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We got the following lockdep splat while running fstests (specifically
btrfs/003 and btrfs/020 in a row) with the new rc.  This was uncovered
by 87579e9 ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker") which
converted loop to using workqueues, which comes with lockdep
annotations that don't exist with kworkers.  The lockdep splat is as
follows:

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

Usually the uuid_mutex exists to protect the fs_devices that map
together all of the devices that match a specific uuid.  In rm_device
we're messing with the uuid of a device, so it makes sense to protect
that here.

However in doing that it pulls in a whole host of lockdep dependencies,
as we call mnt_may_write() on the sb before we grab the uuid_mutex, thus
we end up with the dependency chain under the uuid_mutex being added
under the normal sb write dependency chain, which causes problems with
loop devices.

We don't need the uuid mutex here however.  If we call
btrfs_scan_one_device() before we scratch the super block we will find
the fs_devices and not find the device itself and return EBUSY because
the fs_devices is open.  If we call it after the scratch happens it will
not appear to be a valid btrfs file system.

We do not need to worry about other fs_devices modifying operations here
because we're protected by the exclusive operations locking.

So drop the uuid_mutex here in order to fix the lockdep splat.

A more detailed explanation from the discussion:

We are worried about rm and scan racing with each other, before this
change we'll zero the device out under the UUID mutex so when scan does
run it'll make sure that it can go through the whole device scan thing
without rm messing with us.

We aren't worried if the scratch happens first, because the result is we
don't think this is a btrfs device and we bail out.

The only case we are concerned with is we scratch _after_ scan is able
to read the superblock and gets a seemingly valid super block, so lets
consider this case.

Scan will call device_list_add() with the device we're removing.  We'll
call find_fsid_with_metadata_uuid() and get our fs_devices for this
UUID.  At this point we lock the fs_devices->device_list_mutex.  This is
what protects us in this case, but we have two cases here.

1. We aren't to the device removal part of the RM.  We found our device,
   and device name matches our path, we go down and we set total_devices
   to our super number of devices, which doesn't affect anything because
   we haven't done the remove yet.

2. We are past the device removal part, which is protected by the
   device_list_mutex.  Scan doesn't find the device, it goes down and
   does the

   if (fs_devices->opened)
	   return -EBUSY;

   check and we bail out.

Nothing about this situation is ideal, but the lockdep splat is real,
and the fix is safe, tho admittedly a bit scary looking.
