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

[ 1563.906482] [<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.
