Function metadata_operation_failed() is called when operations failed
on dm pool metadata, dm pool will destroy and recreate metadata. So,
shrinker will be unregistered and registered, which could down write
shrinker_rwsem under pmd_write_lock.

Fix it by allocating dm_block_manager before locking pmd->root_lock
and destroying old dm_block_manager after unlocking pmd->root_lock,
then old dm_block_manager is replaced with new dm_block_manager under
pmd->root_lock. So, shrinker register/unregister could be done without
holding pmd->root_lock.

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.
