Ilya Dryomov 77d0e7e8e5 rbd: take header_rwsem in rbd_dev_refresh() only when updating 
commit 0b207d02bd upstream.

rbd_dev_refresh() has been holding header_rwsem across header and
parent info read-in unnecessarily for ages.  With commit 870611e487
("rbd: get snapshot context after exclusive lock is ensured to be
held"), the potential for deadlocks became much more real owning to
a) header_rwsem now nesting inside lock_rwsem and b) rw_semaphores
not allowing new readers after a writer is registered.

For example, assuming that I/O request 1, I/O request 2 and header
read-in request all target the same OSD:

1. I/O request 1 comes in and gets submitted
2. watch error occurs
3. rbd_watch_errcb() takes lock_rwsem for write, clears owner_cid and
   releases lock_rwsem
4. after reestablishing the watch, rbd_reregister_watch() calls
   rbd_dev_refresh() which takes header_rwsem for write and submits
   a header read-in request
5. I/O request 2 comes in: after taking lock_rwsem for read in
   __rbd_img_handle_request(), it blocks trying to take header_rwsem
   for read in rbd_img_object_requests()
6. another watch error occurs
7. rbd_watch_errcb() blocks trying to take lock_rwsem for write
8. I/O request 1 completion is received by the messenger but can't be
   processed because lock_rwsem won't be granted anymore
9. header read-in request completion can't be received, let alone
   processed, because the messenger is stranded

Change rbd_dev_refresh() to take header_rwsem only for actually
updating rbd_dev->header.  Header and parent info read-in don't need
any locking.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
