From eef2b6df86323b5c9eaee154174afb1976741f38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2014 23:01:22 -0500 Subject: dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device commit be35f486108227e10fe5d96fd42fb2b344c59983 upstream. There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm kobject. We must wait until all references are dropped before deallocating the mapped_device structure. The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped via completion. But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which is embedded in the mapped_device structure). This is the sequence of operations: * when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit * wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the release method is called * the release method signals the completion and should return without delay * the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues * the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had * the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that contains the kobject Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/4/83 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c | 10 +++++++++- drivers/md/dm.c | 11 +++++++++++ drivers/md/dm.h | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c b/drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c index 84d2b91e4ef..e0cc5d6a9e4 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-sysfs.c @@ -79,6 +79,11 @@ static const struct sysfs_ops dm_sysfs_ops = { .show = dm_attr_show, }; +static void dm_kobject_release(struct kobject *kobj) +{ + complete(dm_get_completion_from_kobject(kobj)); +} + /* * dm kobject is embedded in mapped_device structure * no need to define release function here @@ -86,6 +91,7 @@ static const struct sysfs_ops dm_sysfs_ops = { static struct kobj_type dm_ktype = { .sysfs_ops = &dm_sysfs_ops, .default_attrs = dm_attrs, + .release = dm_kobject_release, }; /* @@ -104,5 +110,7 @@ int dm_sysfs_init(struct mapped_device *md) */ void dm_sysfs_exit(struct mapped_device *md) { - kobject_put(dm_kobject(md)); + struct kobject *kobj = dm_kobject(md); + kobject_put(kobj); + wait_for_completion(dm_get_completion_from_kobject(kobj)); } diff --git a/drivers/md/dm.c b/drivers/md/dm.c index 1c13071a81b..d2523fedca3 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm.c @@ -187,6 +187,9 @@ struct mapped_device { /* sysfs handle */ struct kobject kobj; + /* wait until the kobject is released */ + struct completion kobj_completion; + /* zero-length flush that will be cloned and submitted to targets */ struct bio flush_bio; }; @@ -1904,6 +1907,7 @@ static struct mapped_device *alloc_dev(int minor) init_waitqueue_head(&md->wait); INIT_WORK(&md->work, dm_wq_work); init_waitqueue_head(&md->eventq); + init_completion(&md->kobj_completion); md->disk->major = _major; md->disk->first_minor = minor; @@ -2758,6 +2762,13 @@ struct mapped_device *dm_get_from_kobject(struct kobject *kobj) return md; } +struct completion *dm_get_completion_from_kobject(struct kobject *kobj) +{ + struct mapped_device *md = container_of(kobj, struct mapped_device, kobj); + + return &md->kobj_completion; +} + int dm_suspended_md(struct mapped_device *md) { return test_bit(DMF_SUSPENDED, &md->flags); diff --git a/drivers/md/dm.h b/drivers/md/dm.h index 45b97da1bd0..66cfb7d8d15 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm.h +++ b/drivers/md/dm.h @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include /* * Suspend feature flags @@ -129,6 +130,7 @@ int dm_sysfs_init(struct mapped_device *md); void dm_sysfs_exit(struct mapped_device *md); struct kobject *dm_kobject(struct mapped_device *md); struct mapped_device *dm_get_from_kobject(struct kobject *kobj); +struct completion *dm_get_completion_from_kobject(struct kobject *kobj); /* * Targets for linear and striped mappings -- cgit v1.2.3
