genhd: Fix BUG in blkdev_open()
When two blkdev_open() calls for a partition race with device removal and recreation, we can hit BUG_ON(!bd_may_claim(bdev, whole, holder)) in blkdev_open(). The race can happen as follows: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 del_gendisk() bdev_unhash_inode(part1); blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL) blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL) bdev = bd_acquire() bdev = bd_acquire() blkdev_get(bdev) bd_start_claiming(bdev) - finds old inode 'whole' bd_prepare_to_claim() -> 0 bdev_unhash_inode(whole); <device removed> <new device under same number created> blkdev_get(bdev); bd_start_claiming(bdev) - finds new inode 'whole' bd_prepare_to_claim() - this also succeeds as we have different 'whole' here... - bad things happen now as we have two exclusive openers of the same bdev The problem here is that block device opens can see various intermediate states while gendisk is shutting down and then being recreated. We fix the problem by introducing new lookup_sem in gendisk that synchronizes gendisk deletion with get_gendisk() and furthermore by making sure that get_gendisk() does not return gendisk that is being (or has been) deleted. This makes sure that once we ever manage to look up newly created bdev inode, we are also guaranteed that following get_gendisk() will either return failure (and we fail open) or it returns gendisk for the new device and following bdget_disk() will return new bdev inode (i.e., blkdev_open() follows the path as if it is completely run after new device is created).
