[PATCH 3.16 016/254] blktrace: fix trace mutex deadlock

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 12:07:37 EST


3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2967acbb257a6a9bf912f4778b727e00972eac9b upstream.

A previous commit changed the locking around registration/cleanup,
but direct callers of blk_trace_remove() were missed. This means
that if we hit the error path in setup, we will deadlock on
attempting to re-acquire the queue trace mutex.

Fixes: 1f2cac107c59 ("blktrace: fix unlocked access to init/start-stop/teardown")
