[PATCH v2] xfs: don't hold buffer locks across sync transaction commit in xfs_sync_sb_buf
Posted by Yun Zhou 2 days, 8 hours ago
xfs_sync_sb_buf() holds sb/rtsb buffer locks across a synchronous
xfs_trans_commit(), which flushes the CIL push workqueue internally.
If shutdown occurs during the CIL push, xfs_buf_item_unpin() needs to
lock these buffers to fail them, causing a deadlock:

  setlabel:          holds buf lock -> flush_workqueue(xfs-cil)
  CIL push worker:   xfs_buf_item_unpin -> xfs_buf_lock(same buf)

Remove the xfs_trans_bhold() calls so that commit releases the buffer
locks normally.  After the sync commit, re-acquire the buffers via
mp->m_sb_bp / mp->m_rtsb_bp for the on-disk writeback.

Fixes: f7664b31975b ("xfs: implement online get/set fs label")

Changes in v2:
- Remove the bp variable and pass xfs_trans_getsb(tp) directly to
  xfs_log_rtsb() to fix compilation warnings when CONFIG_XFS_RT=n.
- Convert xfs_log_rtsb() stub from macro to inline function to avoid
  the need for (void) casting (Christoph).
