I found this deadlock with kernel version 4.4.30, when insmod the ftl
module, which register_mtd_blktrans.
-> register_mtd_blktrans()
-> mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex)
-> ftl_add_mtd()
-> add_mtd_blktrans_dev()
-> add_disk()
-> register_disk()
-> blkdev_get()
-> __blkdev_get()
-> blktrans_open()
-> mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex); !!!!!!!
I think the lock/unlock of the mtd_table_mutex is not necessary in
blktrans_open and blktrans_release, the log message of lockdep
output follow:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.4.30+siae-g8b14c5b-dirty #23 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
insmod/440 is trying to acquire lock:
(mtd_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<802fe6b0>] blktrans_open+0x30/0x1ac
but task is already holding lock:
(mtd_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<802fe93c>] register_mtd_blktrans+0x2c/0x120
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(mtd_table_mutex);
lock(mtd_table_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
2 locks held by insmod/440:
#0: (mtd_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<802fe93c>] register_mtd_blktrans+0x2c/0x120
