f2fs: fix false alarm of lockdep on cp_global_sem lock

2026-06-19T11:37:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6a5e3de9c2bb0b691d16789a5d19e9276a09b308 ] lockdep reported a potential deadlock: a) TCMU device removal context: - call del_gendisk() to get q->q_usage_counter - call start_flush_work() to get work_completion of wb->dwork b) f2fs writeback context: - in wb_workfn(), which holds work_completion of wb->dwork - call f2fs_balance_fs() to get sbi->gc_lock c) f2fs vfs_write context: - call f2fs_gc() to get sbi->gc_lock - call f2fs_write_checkpoint() to get sbi->cp_global_sem d) f2fs mount context: - call recover_fsync_data() to get sbi->cp_global_sem - call f2fs_check_and_fix_write_pointer() to call blkdev_report_zones() that goes down to blk_mq_alloc_request and get q->q_usage_counter Original callstack is in Closes tag. However, I think this is a false alarm due to before mount returns successfully (context d), we can not access file therein via vfs_write (context c). Let's introduce per-sb cp_global_sem_key, and assign the key for cp_global_sem, so that lockdep can recognize cp_global_sem from different super block correctly. A lot of work are done by Shin'ichiro Kawasaki, thanks a lot for the work.

Actually, slab system will only create one slab cache core structure which has slab name of "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3", and two slab caches share the same structure and cache address. So, if we destroy f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3 cache w/ cache address, it will decrease reference count of slab cache, rather than release slab cache entirely, since there is one more user has referenced the cache. Then, if we try to create slab cache w/ name "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3" again, slab system will find that there is existed cache which has the same name and trigger the warning. Let's changes to use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache for fixing.
