We observed the following deadlock in the stress test under low
memory scenario:
Thread A Thread B
- erofs_shrink_scan
- erofs_try_to_release_workgroup
- erofs_workgroup_try_to_freeze -- A
- z_erofs_do_read_page
- z_erofs_collection_begin
- z_erofs_register_collection
- erofs_insert_workgroup
- xa_lock(&sbi->managed_pslots) -- B
- erofs_workgroup_get
- erofs_wait_on_workgroup_freezed -- A
- xa_erase
- xa_lock(&sbi->managed_pslots) -- B
To fix this, it needs to hold xa_lock before freezing the workgroup
since xarray will be touched then. So let's hold the lock before
accessing each workgroup, just like what we did with the radix tree
before.
