dm snapshot: rework COW throttling to fix deadlock
Commit721b1d98fb("dm snapshot: Fix excessive memory usage and workqueue stalls") introduced a semaphore to limit the maximum number of in-flight kcopyd (COW) jobs. The implementation of this throttling mechanism is prone to a deadlock: 1. One or more threads write to the origin device causing COW, which is performed by kcopyd. 2. At some point some of these threads might reach the s->cow_count semaphore limit and block in down(&s->cow_count), holding a read lock on _origins_lock. 3. Someone tries to acquire a write lock on _origins_lock, e.g., snapshot_ctr(), which blocks because the threads at step (2) already hold a read lock on it. 4. A COW operation completes and kcopyd runs dm-snapshot's completion callback, which ends up calling pending_complete(). pending_complete() tries to resubmit any deferred origin bios. This requires acquiring a read lock on _origins_lock, which blocks. This happens because the read-write semaphore implementation gives priority to writers, meaning that as soon as a writer tries to enter the critical section, no readers will be allowed in, until all writers have completed their work. So, pending_complete() waits for the writer at step (3) to acquire and release the lock. This writer waits for the readers at step (2) to release the read lock and those readers wait for pending_complete() (the kcopyd thread) to signal the s->cow_count semaphore: DEADLOCK. The above was thoroughly analyzed and documented by Nikos Tsironis as part of his initial proposal for fixing this deadlock, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-October/msg00001.html Fix this deadlock by reworking COW throttling so that it waits without holding any locks. Add a variable 'in_progress' that counts how many kcopyd jobs are running. A function wait_for_in_progress() will sleep if 'in_progress' is over the limit. It drops _origins_lock in order to avoid the deadlock.
