When a sector mode namespace is initially created, the arena's err_lock is not initialized. If, on the other hand, the namespace already exists, the mutex is initialized. To fix the issue, I moved the mutex initialization into the arena_alloc, which is called by both discover_arenas and create_arenas. This was discovered on an older kernel where mutex_trylock checks the count to determine whether the lock is held. Because the data structure is kzalloc-d, that count was 0 (held), and I/O to the device would hang forever waiting for the lock to be released (see btt_write_pg, for example). Current kernels have a different mutex implementation that checks for a non-null owner, and so this doesn't show up as a problem. If that lock were ever contended, it might cause issues, but you'd have to be really unlucky, I think.
