Subject: [ 01/82] virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:18:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120813201746.577719372@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120813201746.448504360@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Asias He <asias@redhat.com>

commit 02e2b124943648fba0a2ccee5c3656a5653e0151 upstream.

del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the
/sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is
trying to read it.

virtblk_remove()
  vdev->config->reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt
    del_gendisk()
      device_del()
        kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero

sysfs_open_file(): user space process read /sys/block/vda/serial
   sysfs_get_active() : got sysfs entry ref count
      dev_attr_show()
        virtblk_serial_show()
           blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled
                              request cannot be finished

This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's
interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be
finished and del_gendisk() will success.

This fixes another race in hot-unplug process.

It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before
flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because
vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).
