ZhaoLong Wang 5fb5bdcdcd ubi: Fix deadlock caused by recursively holding work_sem
[ Upstream commit f773f0a331d6c41733b17bebbc1b6cae12e016f5 ]

During the processing of the bgt, if the sync_erase() return -EBUSY
or some other error code in __erase_worker(),schedule_erase() called
again lead to the down_read(ubi->work_sem) hold twice and may get
block by down_write(ubi->work_sem) in ubi_update_fastmap(),
which cause deadlock.

          ubi bgt                        other task
 do_work
  down_read(&ubi->work_sem)          ubi_update_fastmap
  erase_worker                         # Blocked by down_read
   __erase_worker                      down_write(&ubi->work_sem)
    schedule_erase
     schedule_ubi_work
      down_read(&ubi->work_sem)

Fix this by changing input parameter @nested of the schedule_erase() to
'true' to avoid recursively acquiring the down_read(&ubi->work_sem).

Also, fix the incorrect comment about @nested parameter of the
schedule_erase() because when down_write(ubi->work_sem) is held, the
@nested is also need be true.

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.
