[PATCH 1/9] block: delay freeing the gendisk

flat view
STALE1914d LANDED: 2 (1M)

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2021-07-22 07:55:02
Also in: linux-btrfs
Subsystem: block layer, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

2 review trailers; landed in mainline as 340e84573878 on 2021-07-28.

blkdev_get_no_open acquires a reference to the block_device through
the block device inode and then tries to acquire a device model
reference to the gendisk.  But at this point the disk migh already
be freed (although the race is free).  Fix this by only freeing the
gendisk from the whole device bdevs ->free_inode callback as well.

Fixes: 22ae8ce8b892 ("block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get")
