[PATCH] eCryptfs: Fix lockdep-reported AB-BA mutex issue
|
|
Lockdep reports the following valid-looking possible AB-BA deadlock with
global_auth_tok_list_mutex and keysig_list_mutex:
ecryptfs_new_file_context() ->
ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() ->
mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex);
-> ecryptfs_add_keysig() ->
mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex);
vs
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() ->
mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex);
-> ecryptfs_find_global_auth_tok_for_sig() ->
mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex);
ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different
code paths. I'm not sure if this is a real bug where two threads could
actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least
makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers
every time and disables future lockdep reporting.
Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in
ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs(), the simplest fix seems to
be to move the lock of keysig_list_mutex back up outside of the where
global_auth_tok_list_mutex is taken. This patch does that, and fixes
the lockdep report on my system (and ecryptfs still works OK).
The full output of lockdep fixed by this patch is:
