block: Fix a race between the cgroup code and request queue initialization
Initialize the request queue lock earlier such that the following
race can no longer occur:
blk_init_queue_node() blkcg_print_blkgs()
blk_alloc_queue_node (1)
q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock (2)
blkcg_init_queue(q) (3)
spin_lock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (4)
q->queue_lock = lock (5)
spin_unlock_irq(blkg->q->queue_lock) (6)
(1) allocate an uninitialized queue;
(2) initialize queue_lock to its default internal lock;
(3) initialize blkcg part of request queue, which will create blkg and
then insert it to blkg_list;
(4) traverse blkg_list and find the created blkg, and then take its
queue lock, here it is the default *internal lock*;
(5) *race window*, now queue_lock is overridden with *driver specified
lock*;
(6) now unlock *driver specified lock*, not the locked *internal lock*,
unlock balance breaks.
The changes in this patch are as follows:
- Move the .queue_lock initialization from blk_init_queue_node() into
blk_alloc_queue_node().
- Only override the .queue_lock pointer for legacy queues because it
is not useful for blk-mq queues to override this pointer.
- For all all block drivers that initialize .queue_lock explicitly,
change the blk_alloc_queue() call in the driver into a
blk_alloc_queue_node() call and remove the explicit .queue_lock
initialization. Additionally, initialize the spin lock that will
be used as queue lock earlier if necessary.
