iomap_dio_rw: Allocate AIO completion queue before submitting dio
Executing xfs/104 test in a loop on Linux-v4.13 kernel on a ppc64 machine can cause the following NULL pointer dereference, .queue_work_on+0x4c/0x80 .iomap_dio_bio_end_io+0xbc/0x1f0 .bio_endio+0x118/0x1f0 .blk_update_request+0xd0/0x470 .blk_mq_end_request+0x24/0xc0 .lo_complete_rq+0x40/0xe0 .__blk_mq_complete_request_remote+0x28/0x40 .flush_smp_call_function_queue+0xc4/0x1e0 .smp_ipi_demux_relaxed+0x8c/0x100 .icp_hv_ipi_action+0x54/0xa0 .__handle_irq_event_percpu+0x84/0x2c0 .handle_irq_event_percpu+0x28/0x80 .handle_percpu_irq+0x78/0xc0 .generic_handle_irq+0x40/0x70 .__do_irq+0x88/0x200 .call_do_irq+0x14/0x24 .do_IRQ+0x84/0x130 This occurs due to the following sequence of events, 1. Allocate dio for Direct I/O write. 2. Invoke iomap_apply() until iov_iter_count() bytes have been submitted. - Assume that we have submitted atleast one bio. Hence iomap_dio->ref value will be >= 2. - If during the second iteration, iomap_apply() ends up returning -ENOSPC, we would break out of the loop and since the 'ret' value is a negative number we end up not allocating memory for super_block->s_dio_done_wq. 3. Meanwhile, iomap_dio_bio_end_io() is invoked for bios that have been submitted and here the code ends up dereferencing the NULL pointer stored at super_block->s_dio_done_wq. This commit fixes the bug by allocating memory for super_block->s_dio_done_wq before iomap_apply() is invoked.
