Mapping the\njournal inode can take its i_data_sem. Normal inode update paths can take a\ndata inode i_data_sem and then s_fc_lock, which makes lockdep report a\ncircular dependency.\n\nlockdep treats all i_data_sem instances as one lock class and cannot\ndistinguish the journal inode i_data_sem from a regular inode i_data_sem.\nThe journal inode is not tracked by fast commit and no FC waiters ever\ndepend on it, so this is not a real ABBA deadlock. Assign the journal inode\na dedicated i_data_sem lockdep subclass to avoid the false positive.\n\nInode cache objects can be recycled, so also reset i_data_sem to\nI_DATA_SEM_NORMAL when allocating an ext4 inode. Otherwise a new inode may\ninherit an old subclass (journal/quota/ea) and trigger lockdep warnings.\n\nSigned-off-by: Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>\n---\n fs/ext4/ext4.h | 4 +++-\n fs/ext4/super.c | 8 ++++++++\n 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)", "diff": "diff --git a/fs/ext4/ext4.h b/fs/ext4/ext4.h\nindex bd30c24d4f948..2e1681057196a 100644\n--- a/fs/ext4/ext4.h\n+++ b/fs/ext4/ext4.h\n@@ -1025,12 +1025,14 @@ do {\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\\\n *\t\t\t than the first\n * I_DATA_SEM_QUOTA - Used for quota inodes only\n * I_DATA_SEM_EA - Used for ea_inodes only\n+ * I_DATA_SEM_JOURNAL - Used for journal inode only\n */\n enum {\n \tI_DATA_SEM_NORMAL = 0,\n \tI_DATA_SEM_OTHER,\n \tI_DATA_SEM_QUOTA,\n-\tI_DATA_SEM_EA\n+\tI_DATA_SEM_EA,\n+\tI_DATA_SEM_JOURNAL\n };\n \n struct ext4_fc_inode_snap;\ndiff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c\nindex 79762c3e0dff3..4f5f0c21d436f 100644\n--- a/fs/ext4/super.c\n+++ b/fs/ext4/super.c\n@@ -1423,6 +1423,9 @@ static struct inode *ext4_alloc_inode(struct super_block *sb)\n \tINIT_WORK(&ei->i_rsv_conversion_work, ext4_end_io_rsv_work);\n \text4_fc_init_inode(&ei->vfs_inode);\n \tspin_lock_init(&ei->i_fc_lock);\n+#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP\n+\tlockdep_set_subclass(&ei->i_data_sem, I_DATA_SEM_NORMAL);\n+#endif\n \treturn &ei->vfs_inode;\n }\n \n@@ -5863,6 +5866,11 @@ static struct inode *ext4_get_journal_inode(struct super_block *sb,\n \t\treturn ERR_PTR(-EFSCORRUPTED);\n \t}\n \n+#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP\n+\tlockdep_set_subclass(&EXT4_I(journal_inode)->i_data_sem,\n+\t\t\t I_DATA_SEM_JOURNAL);\n+#endif\n+\n \text4_debug(\"Journal inode found at %p: %lld bytes\\n\",\n \t\t journal_inode, journal_inode->i_size);\n \treturn journal_inode;\n", "prefixes": [ "RFC", "v5", "2/7" ] }
