dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while calling del_gendisk(dev_info->gd), which in turn tries to acquire disk->open_mutex. Then there is dcssblk_release(), which is called with disk->open_mutex held, and tries to acquire dcssblk_devices_sem. Lockdep reports this as possible circular locking dependency (CPU0 = dcssblk_remove_store, CPU1 = dcssblk_release): [ 44.948865] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 44.948866] CPU0 CPU1 [ 44.948867] ---- ---- [ 44.948868] lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem); [ 44.948870] lock(&disk->open_mutex); [ 44.948872] lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem); [ 44.948874] lock(&disk->open_mutex); [ 44.948876] *** DEADLOCK *** In practice, this deadlock should not happen, since dcssblk_remove_store() checks for dev_info->use_count != 0 after acquiring dcssblk_devices_sem, and breaks out before calling del_gendisk(). dev_info->use_count will be decremented in dcssblk_release(), protected by dcssblk_devices_sem. Still there is no need for dcssblk_remove_store() to hold the dcssblk_devices_sem until after calling del_gendisk(), as this only protects dcssblk internal data. So fix the lockdep warning by releasing dcssblk_devices_sem earlier. Also move the segment_unload() loop up, similar to dcssblk_shared_store() error path, no need to do that after calling del_gendisk(). Also change dcssblk_shared_store() error path, where dcssblk_devices_sem was also released only after calling del_gendisk(), and a similar lockdep warning could be triggered (but also deadlock prevented by check for dev_info->use_count).
