Revision 2f3165ecf103599f82bf0ea254039db335fb5005 authored by Zygo Blaxell on 05 May 2016, 04:23:49 UTC, committed by David Sterba on 06 May 2016, 13:22:49 UTC
During a mount, we start the cleaner kthread first because the transaction kthread wants to wake up the cleaner kthread. We start the transaction kthread next because everything in btrfs wants transactions. We do reloc recovery in the thread that was doing the original mount call once the transaction kthread is running. This means that the cleaner kthread could already be running when reloc recovery happens (e.g. if a snapshot delete was started before a crash). Relocation does not play well with the cleaner kthread, so a mutex was added in commit 5f3164813b90f7dbcb5c3ab9006906222ce471b7 "Btrfs: fix race between balance recovery and root deletion" to prevent both from being active at the same time. If the cleaner kthread is already holding the mutex by the time we get to btrfs_recover_relocation, the mount will be blocked until at least one deleted subvolume is cleaned (possibly more if the mount process doesn't get the lock right away). During this time (which could be an arbitrarily long time on a large/slow filesystem), the mount process is stuck and the filesystem is unnecessarily inaccessible. Fix this by locking cleaner_mutex before we start cleaner_kthread, and unlocking the mutex after mount no longer requires it. This ensures that the mounting process will not be blocked by the cleaner kthread. The cleaner kthread is already prepared for mutex contention and will just go to sleep until the mutex is available.
