The patch titled Subject: proc/vmcore: fix possible deadlock on concurrent mmap and read has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc-vmcore-fix-possible-deadlock-on-concurrent-mmap-and-read.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand david@redhat.com Subject: proc/vmcore: fix possible deadlock on concurrent mmap and read

Lockdep noticed that there is chance for a deadlock if we have concurrent mmap, concurrent read, and the addition/removal of a callback.

As nicely explained by Boqun:

" Lockdep warned about the above sequences because rw_semaphore is a fair read-write lock, and the following can cause a deadlock:

TASK 1 TASK 2 TASK 3 ====== ====== ====== down_write(mmap_lock); down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem) down_write(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // blocked down_read(vmcore_cb_rwsem); // cannot get the lock because of the fairness down_read(mmap_lock); // blocked

IOW, a reader can block another read if there is a writer queued by the second reader and the lock is fair. "

To fix, convert to srcu to make this deadlock impossible. We need srcu as our callbacks can sleep. With this change, I cannot trigger any lockdep warnings.
