Revision 774a1221e862b343388347bac9b318767336b20b authored by Tejun Heo on 16 January 2013, 02:52:51 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 16 January 2013, 17:05:33 UTC
If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.
