[PATCH] cciss: fix broken mutex usage in ioctl

From: Stephen M. Cameron
Date: Fri May 24 2013 - 15:30:15 EST


From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a new logical drive is added and the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl is invoked
(as is normal with the Array Configuration Utility) the process
will hang as below. It attempts to acquire the same mutex twice, once
in do_ioctl() and once in cciss_unlocked_open(). The BKL was recursive,
the mutex isn't.

Linux version 3.10.0-rc2 (scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri May 24 14:32:12 CDT 2013

This mutex usage was added into the ioctl path when the big kernel
lock was removed. As it turns out, these paths are all thread
safe anyway (or can easily be made so) and we don't want ioctl()
to be single threaded in any case.
