mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs
The debugfs_remove_recursive() is invoked by unregister_shrinker(), which is holding the write lock of shrinker_rwsem. It will waits for the handler of debugfs file complete. The handler also needs to hold the read lock of shrinker_rwsem to do something. So it may cause the following deadlock: CPU0 CPU1 debugfs_file_get() shrinker_debugfs_count_show()/shrinker_debugfs_scan_write() unregister_shrinker() --> down_write(&shrinker_rwsem); debugfs_remove_recursive() // wait for (A) --> wait_for_completion(); // wait for (B) --> down_read_killable(&shrinker_rwsem) debugfs_file_put() -- (A) up_write() -- (B) The down_read_killable() can be killed, so that the above deadlock can be recovered. But it still requires an extra kill action, otherwise it will block all subsequent shrinker-related operations, so it's better to fix it.
