Subject: [patch for 2.6.32? 1/3] scsi_lib.c: avoid calling scsi_device_put() from under ->host_lock
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:10:10 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200911172210.nAHMAAYJ014147@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Alexander Strakh <strakh@ispras.ru>

Driver scsi_lib.c might sleep in atomic context, because it calls
scsi_device_put under spin_lock_irqsave.

drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:356:
	spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags);
	scsi_device_put(sdev);
Path to might_sleep macro from scsi_device_put:
1. scsi_device_put calls put_device at ./drivers/scsi/scsi.c:1111
2. put_device calls kobject_put at ./drivers/base/core.c:1038
3. kobject_put calls kref_put at ./lib/kobject.c
4. kref_put may call callback function kobject_release at ./lib/kref.c if
refcount becomes zero, which might_sleep because it calls user event. Details:
	4.1 kobject_cleanup calls kobject_uevent at ./lib/kobject.c:555
	4.2 kobject_uevent calls kobject_uevent_env at  ./lib/kobject_uevent.c:282
	4.3 kobject_uevent_env calls call_usermodehelper_exec at
./include/linux/kmod.h:83
	4.4 call_usermodehelper_exec calls wait_for_completion at
./kernel/kmod.c:481
	4.5 wait_for_completion calls wait_for_common at ./kernel/sched.c:5710
	4.5 wait_for_common calls might_sleep at ./kernels/sched.c:5692

Found by Linux Driver Verification project.

Delete wrong sleeping function calls.
