block: loop: fix deadlock between open and remove
Commit c76f48e ("block: take bd_mutex around delete_partitions in del_gendisk") adds disk->part0->bd_mutex in del_gendisk(), this way causes the following AB/BA deadlock between removing loop and opening loop: 1) loop_control_ioctl(LOOP_CTL_REMOVE) -> mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex) -> del_gendisk -> mutex_lock(&disk->part0->bd_mutex) 2) blkdev_get_by_dev -> mutex_lock(&disk->part0->bd_mutex) -> lo_open -> mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex) Add a new Lo_deleting state to remove the need for clearing ->private_data and thus holding loop_ctl_mutex in the ioctl LOOP_CTL_REMOVE path. Based on an analysis and earlier patch from Ming Lei <[email protected]>.
