drbd: close race when detaching from disk
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000058
IP: bd_release+0x21/0x70
Process drbd_w_t7146
Call Trace:
close_bdev_exclusive
drbd_free_ldev [drbd]
drbd_ldev_destroy [drbd]
w_after_state_ch [drbd]
Race probably went like this:
state.disk = D_FAILED
... first one to hit zero during D_FAILED:
put_ldev() /* ----------------> 0 */
i = atomic_dec_return()
if (i == 0)
if (state.disk == D_FAILED)
schedule_work(go_diskless)
/* 1 <------ */ get_ldev_if_state()
go_diskless()
do_some_pre_cleanup() corresponding put_ldev():
force_state(D_DISKLESS) /* 0 <------ */ i = atomic_dec_return()
if (i == 0)
atomic_inc() /* ---------> 1 */
state.disk = D_DISKLESS
schedule_work(after_state_ch) /* execution pre-empted by IRQ ? */
after_state_ch()
put_ldev()
i = atomic_dec_return() /* 0 */
if (i == 0)
if (state.disk == D_DISKLESS) if (state.disk == D_DISKLESS)
drbd_ldev_destroy() drbd_ldev_destroy();
Trying to fix this by checking the disk state *before* the
atomic_dec_return(), which implies memory barriers, and by inserting
extra memory barriers around the state assignment in __drbd_set_state().
