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.
