From 63a4f065ece613b6d575b538234375b0e9c23bbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 17:01:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix add_disk() NULL pointer due to race with free_dev() Commit c4db59d31e39 ("fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info") exposed DM to a latent race in free_dev() vs add_disk() in relation to management of the device's minor number. Fix this by refactoring free_dev() to match cleanup order of the alloc_dev() error path. Move cleanup of the gendisk, queue, and bdev to _before_ the cleanup of the idr managed minor number. Also, purely due to cleanup that fell out during the free_dev() audit: - adjust dm_blk_close() to access the gendisk's private_data under the _minor_lock spinlock. - move __dm_destroy()'s dm_get_live_table() call out from under the _minor_lock spinlock.
