Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] sd: call blk_pm_runtime_init before add_disk
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:22:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5256399C.10105@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <04811251e7b06dd74849872257d9bb7c.squirrel@www.codeaurora.org>

Sujit has found a race condition that would make q->nr_pending
unbalanced, it occurs as Sujit explained:

"
sd_probe_async() ->
	add_disk() ->
		disk_add_event() ->
			schedule(disk_events_workfn)
	sd_revalidate_disk()
	blk_pm_runtime_init()
return;

Let's say the disk_events_workfn() calls sd_check_events() which tries
to send test_unit_ready() and because of sd_revalidate_disk() trying to
send another commands the test_unit_ready() might be re-queued as the
tagged command queuing is disabled.

So the race condition is -

Thread 1 			  |		Thread 2
sd_revalidate_disk()		  |	sd_check_events()
...nr_pending = 0 as q->dev = NULL|	scsi_queue_insert()
blk_runtime_pm_init()		  | 	blk_pm_requeue_request() ->
				  |	nr_pending = -1 since
				  |	q->dev != NULL
"

The problem is, the test_unit_ready request doesn't get counted the
first time it is queued, so the later decrement of q->nr_pending in
blk_pm_requeue_request makes it unbalanced.

Fix this by calling blk_pm_runtime_init before add_disk so that all
requests initiated there will all be counted.
