drbd: fix potential get_ldev/put_ldev refcount imbalance during attach
Race:
drbd_adm_attach() | async drbd_md_endio()
|
device->ldev is still NULL. |
|
drbd_md_read( |
.endio = drbd_md_endio; |
submit; |
.... |
wait for done == 1; | done = 1;
); | wake_up();
.. lot of other stuff, |
.. includeing taking and |
...giving up locks, |
.. doing further IO, |
.. stuff that takes "some time" |
| while in this context,
| this is the next statement.
| which means this context was scheduled
.. only then, finally, | away for "some time".
device->ldev = nbc; |
| if (device->ldev)
| put_ldev()
Unlikely, but possible. I was able to provoke it "reliably"
by adding an mdelay(500); after the wake_up().
Fixed by moving the if (!NULL) put_ldev() before done = 1;
Impact of the bug was that the resulting refcount imbalance
could lead to premature destruction of the object, potentially
causing a NULL pointer dereference during a subsequent detach.
