[ Upstream commit aa39cc675799bc92da153af9a13d6f969c348e82 ]
GC task can deadlock in read_cache_page() because it may attempt to release a page that is actually allocated by another task in jffs2_write_begin(). The reason is that in jffs2_write_begin() there is a small window a cache page is allocated for use but not set Uptodate yet.
This ends up with a deadlock between two tasks: 1) A task (e.g. file copy) - jffs2_write_begin() locks a cache page - jffs2_write_end() tries to lock "alloc_sem" from jffs2_reserve_space() <-- STUCK 2) GC task (jffs2_gcd_mtd3) - jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() locks "alloc_sem" - try to lock the same cache page in read_cache_page() <-- STUCK
So to avoid this deadlock, hold "alloc_sem" in jffs2_write_begin() while reading data in a cache page.
