Subject: [PATCH RESEND] scsi_sysfs: protect against double execution of __scsi_remove_device()
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 16:49:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446824969-7049-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
On some host errors storvsc module tries to remove sdev by scheduling a job
which does the following:
sdev = scsi_device_lookup(wrk->host, 0, 0, wrk->lun);
if (sdev) {
scsi_remove_device(sdev);
scsi_device_put(sdev);
}
While this code seems correct the following crash is observed:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81169979>] [<ffffffff81169979>] bdi_destroy+0x39/0x220
...
[<ffffffff814aecdc>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x40

[<ffffffff81080791>] process_one_work+0x1b1/0x530
...
The problem comes with the fact that many such jobs (for the same device)
are being scheduled simultaneously. While scsi_remove_device() uses
shost->scan_mutex and scsi_device_lookup() will fail for a device in
SDEV_DEL state there is no protection against someone who did
scsi_device_lookup() before we actually entered __scsi_remove_device(). So
the whole scenario looks like that: two callers do simultaneous (or
preemption happens) calls to scsi_device_lookup() ant these calls succeed
for both of them, after that they try doing scsi_remove_device().
shost->scan_mutex only serializes their calls to __scsi_remove_device()
and we end up doing the cleanup path twice.
