Interrupting mount with ^C quickly enough can cause the kthread_run()
calls in gfs2's init_threads() to fail and the error path leads to a
deadlock on the s_umount rwsem. The abridged chain of events is:
[mount path]
get_tree_bdev()
sget_fc()
alloc_super()
down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING); [acquired]
gfs2_fill_super()
gfs2_make_fs_rw()
init_threads()
kthread_run()
( Interrupted )
[Error path]
gfs2_gl_hash_clear()
flush_workqueue(glock_workqueue)
wait_for_completion()
[workqueue context]
glock_work_func()
run_queue()
do_xmote()
freeze_go_sync()
freeze_super()
down_write(&sb->s_umount) [deadlock]
In freeze_go_sync() there is a gfs2_withdrawn() check that we can use to
make sure freeze_super() is not called in the error path, so add a
gfs2_withdraw_delayed() call when init_threads() fails.

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.
