rbd: fix safety of rbd_put_client()
The rbd_client structure uses a kref to arrange for cleaning up and
freeing an instance when its last reference is dropped. The cleanup
routine is rbd_client_release(), and one of the things it does is
delete the rbd_client from rbd_client_list. It acquires node_lock
to do so, but the way it is done is still not safe.
The problem is that when attempting to reuse an existing rbd_client,
the structure found might already be in the process of getting
destroyed and cleaned up.
Here's the scenario, with "CLIENT" representing an existing
rbd_client that's involved in the race:
Thread on CPU A | Thread on CPU B
--------------- | ---------------
rbd_put_client(CLIENT) | rbd_get_client()
kref_put() | (acquires node_lock)
kref->refcount becomes 0 | __rbd_client_find() returns CLIENT
calls rbd_client_release() | kref_get(&CLIENT->kref);
| (releases node_lock)
(acquires node_lock) |
deletes CLIENT from list | ...and starts using CLIENT...
(releases node_lock) |
and frees CLIENT | <-- but CLIENT gets freed here
Fix this by having rbd_put_client() acquire node_lock. The result
could still be improved, but at least it avoids this problem.
