Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fs: fix corner case race on freeze_bdev() when sb disappears
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:59:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180420235904.27496-4-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180420235904.27496-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>
freeze_bdev() will bail but leave the bd_fsfreeze_count incremented
if the get_active_super() does not find the superblock on our
super_blocks list to match.
This issue has been present since v2.6.29 during the introduction of the
ioctl_fsfreeze() and ioctl_fsthaw() via commit fcccf502540e3 ("filesystem
freeze: implement generic freeze feature").
I am not aware of any existing races which have triggered this
situation, however, if it does trigger it could mean leaving a
superblock with bd_fsfreeze_count always positive.
Fixes: fcccf502540e3 ("filesystem freeze: implement generic freeze feature")
