block: fix __blkdev_get and add_disk race condition
The following situation might occur: __blkdev_get: add_disk: register_disk() get_gendisk() disk_block_events() disk->ev == NULL disk_add_events() __disk_unblock_events() disk->ev != NULL --ev->block Then we unblock events, when they are suppose to be blocked. This can trigger events related block/genhd.c warnings, but also can crash in sd_check_events() or other places. I'm able to reproduce crashes with the following scripts (with connected usb dongle as sdb disk). <snip> DEV=/dev/sdb ENABLE=/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/bConfigurationValue function stop_me() { for i in `jobs -p` ; do kill $i 2> /dev/null ; done exit } trap stop_me SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)) ; do while true; do fdisk -l $DEV 2>&1 > /dev/null ; done & done while true ; do echo 1 > $ENABLE sleep 1 echo 0 > $ENABLE done </snip> I use the script to verify patch fixing oops in sd_revalidate_disk http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132935572512352&w=2 Without Jun'ichi Nomura patch titled "Fix NULL pointer dereference in sd_revalidate_disk" or this one, script easily crash kernel within a few seconds. With both patches applied I do not observe crash. Unfortunately after some time (dozen of minutes), script will hung in: [ 1563.906432] [<c08354f5>] schedule_timeout_uninterruptible+0x15/0x20 [ 1563.906437] [<c04532d5>] msleep+0x15/0x20 [ 1563.906443] [<c05d60b2>] blk_drain_queue+0x32/0xd0 [ 1563.906447] [<c05d6e00>] blk_cleanup_queue+0xd0/0x170 [ 1563.906454] [<c06d278f>] scsi_free_queue+0x3f/0x60 [ 1563.906459] [<c06d7e6e>] __scsi_remove_device+0x6e/0xb0 [ 1563.906463] [<c06d4aff>] scsi_forget_host+0x4f/0x60 [ 1563.906468] [<c06cd84a>] scsi_remove_host+0x5a/0xf0 [ 1563.906482] [<f7f030fb>] quiesce_and_remove_host+0x5b/0xa0 [usb_storage] [ 1563.906490] [<f7f03203>] usb_stor_disconnect+0x13/0x20 [usb_storage] Anyway I think this patch is some step forward. As drawback, I do not teardown on sysfs file create error, because I do not know how to nullify disk->ev (since it can be used). However add_disk error handling practically does not exist too, and things will work without this sysfs file, except events will not be exported to user space.
