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().
