libnvdimm: fix clear poison locking with spinlock and GFP_NOWAIT allocation
The following warning results from holding a lane spinlock, preempt_disable(), or the btt map spinlock and then trying to take the reconfig_mutex to walk the poison list and potentially add new entries. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex. c:747 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 17159, name: dd [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc8 ___might_sleep+0x184/0x250 __might_sleep+0x4a/0x90 __mutex_lock+0x58/0x9b0 ? nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm] ? __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear+0x2f/0x60 [libnvdimm] ? acpi_nfit_forget_poison+0x79/0x80 [nfit] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x27/0x40 mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20 nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_forget_poison+0x25/0x50 [libnvdimm] nvdimm_clear_poison+0x106/0x140 [libnvdimm] nsio_rw_bytes+0x164/0x270 [libnvdimm] btt_write_pg+0x1de/0x3e0 [nd_btt] ? blk_queue_enter+0x30/0x290 btt_make_request+0x11a/0x310 [nd_btt] ? blk_queue_enter+0xb7/0x290 ? blk_queue_enter+0x30/0x290 generic_make_request+0x118/0x3b0 A spinlock is introduced to protect the poison list. This allows us to not having to acquire the reconfig_mutex for touching the poison list. The add_poison() function has been broken out into two helper functions. One to allocate the poison entry and the other to apppend the entry. This allows us to unlock the poison_lock in non-I/O path and continue to be able to allocate the poison entry with GFP_KERNEL. We will use GFP_NOWAIT in the I/O path in order to satisfy being in atomic context.
