cifs_relock_file() can perform a down_write() on the inode's lock_sem even though it was already performed in cifs_strict_readv(). Lockdep complains about this. AFAICS, there is no problem here, and lockdep just needs to be told that this nesting is OK. ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 4.11.0+ #20 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- cat/701 is trying to acquire lock: (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_reopen_file+0x7a7/0xc00 but task is already holding lock: (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_strict_readv+0x177/0x310 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&cifsi->lock_sem); lock(&cifsi->lock_sem); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 1 lock held by cat/701: #0: (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++.+}, at: cifs_strict_readv+0x177/0x310 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 701 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.11.0+ #20 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 __lock_acquire+0x17dd/0x2260 ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x1a/0x1c ? preempt_schedule_irq+0x6b/0x80 lock_acquire+0xcc/0x260 ? lock_acquire+0xcc/0x260 ? cifs_reopen_file+0x7a7/0xc00 down_read+0x2d/0x70 ? cifs_reopen_file+0x7a7/0xc00 cifs_reopen_file+0x7a7/0xc00 ? printk+0x43/0x4b cifs_readpage_worker+0x327/0x8a0 cifs_readpage+0x8c/0x2a0 generic_file_read_iter+0x692/0xd00 cifs_strict_readv+0x29f/0x310 generic_file_splice_read+0x11c/0x1c0 do_splice_to+0xa5/0xc0 splice_direct_to_actor+0xfa/0x350 ? generic_pipe_buf_nosteal+0x10/0x10 do_splice_direct+0xb5/0xe0 do_sendfile+0x278/0x3a0 SyS_sendfile64+0xc4/0xe0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbe Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com> Acked-by: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilov@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
