commit 0da03cab87 upstream.
Calling blkdev_reread_part() under loop_ctl_mutex causes lockdep to
complain about circular lock dependency between bdev->bd_mutex and
lo->lo_ctl_mutex. The problem is that on loop device open or close
lo_open() and lo_release() get called with bdev->bd_mutex held and they
need to acquire loop_ctl_mutex. OTOH when loop_reread_partitions() is
called with loop_ctl_mutex held, it will call blkdev_reread_part() which
acquires bdev->bd_mutex. See syzbot report for details [1].
Move call to blkdev_reread_part() in __loop_clr_fd() from under
loop_ctl_mutex to finish fixing of the lockdep warning and the possible
deadlock.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
