Subject: [PATCH] block: fix possible race on blk_get_queue()
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2020 01:51:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200729015101.31534-1-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
The queue can flip to dying after we check if it is dying,
and then we call __blk_get_queue(). This is a purely
theoretical race, but just fix it. We do this by
Using the atomic kobject_get_unless_zero() first, and
*then* check if the queue is dying *after*.
This issue was found while doing patch review on the
recent blktrace fixes [0].

This goes tested against blktest without finding a regression.
