dm bufio: fix deadlock with loop device
When thin-volume is built on loop device, if available memory is low, the following deadlock can be triggered: One process P1 allocates memory with GFP_FS flag, direct alloc fails, memory reclaim invokes memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan() runs, mutex dm_bufio_client->lock is acquired, then P1 waits for dm_buffer IO to complete in __try_evict_buffer(). But this IO may never complete if issued to an underlying loop device that forwards it using direct-IO, which allocates memory using GFP_KERNEL (see: do_blockdev_direct_IO()). If allocation fails, memory reclaim will invoke memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan() will be invoked, and since the mutex is already held by P1 the loop thread will hang, and IO will never complete. Resulting in ABBA deadlock. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
