Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] block: amiflop: synchronize flush timer before track flush
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 19:13:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111001129.97308-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107061811-failed-5.10-9690943353ce@kernel.org>

From: Runyu Xiao <runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 9690943353cec1690a715e000ba6a74e5139f530 ]

The amiflop track buffer is shared with the timer callback. timer_delete()
does not wait for an in-flight callback, and that callback can rearm itself
when it cannot acquire the floppy controller. A synchronous track flush can
therefore race with the callback.

Stop the timer before synchronous track writes and use timer_delete_sync()
to wait for any callback already running. Keep callback rearming disabled
until the write is complete. Apply this to the FDFMTTRK path as well.

FDFLUSH, FDFMTTRK and close-time flushes run outside the blk-mq
request callback. Freeze their queues so an in-flight request cannot
change the shared track buffer while it is encoded and written. Restart
the timer if a track remains dirty after a failed flush.
