fasync: Fix deadlock between task-context and interrupt-context kill_fasync()
I observed the following deadlock between them: [task 1] [task 2] [task 3] kill_fasync() mm_update_next_owner() copy_process() spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock) read_lock(&tasklist_lock) write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) send_sigio() <IRQ> ... read_lock(&fown->lock) kill_fasync() ... read_lock(&tasklist_lock) spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock) ... Task 1 can't acquire read locked tasklist_lock, since there is already task 3 expressed its wish to take the lock exclusive. Task 2 holds the read locked lock, but it can't take the spin lock. Also, there is possible another deadlock (which I haven't observed): [task 1] [task 2] f_getown() kill_fasync() read_lock(&f_own->lock) spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock,) <IRQ> send_sigio() write_lock_irq(&f_own->lock) kill_fasync() read_lock(&fown->lock) spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock,) Actually, we do not need exclusive fa->fa_lock in kill_fasync_rcu(), as it guarantees fa->fa_file->f_owner integrity only. It may seem, that it used to give a task a small possibility to receive two sequential signals, if there are two parallel kill_fasync() callers, and task handles the first signal fastly, but the behaviour won't become different, since there is exclusive sighand lock in do_send_sig_info(). The patch converts fa_lock into rwlock_t, and this fixes two above deadlocks, as rwlock is allowed to be taken from interrupt handler by qrwlock design.
