For btree removal, there is a corner case that a single thread could takes 6 locks which is more than THIN_MAX_CONCURRENT_LOCKS(5) and leads to deadlock. A btree removal might eventually call rebalance_children()->rebalance3() to rebalance entries of three neighbor child nodes when shadow_spine has already acquired two write locks. In rebalance3(), it tries to shadow and acquire the write locks of all three child nodes. However, shadowing a child node requires acquiring a read lock of the original child node and a write lock of the new block. Although the read lock will be released after block shadowing, shadowing the third child node in rebalance3() could still take the sixth lock. (2 write locks for shadow_spine + 2 write locks for the first two child nodes's shadow + 1 write lock for the last child node's shadow + 1 read lock for the last child node) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dennis Yang <dennisyang@qnap.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <thornber@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.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.
