Removing a device deallocates the disk, unschedules the watch, and

from the watch callback, updates the disk size and rbd_dev
structure. With no locking between them, rbd_dev_refresh() may use the
device or rbd_dev after they've been freed.

To fix this, use the header_rwsem to protect all the work
rbd_dev_refresh() does, and take it exclusively in rbd_remove() where
the block device is released and the watch is canceled.

It seems to me this was a little bit of a tricky area.  As I recall
there was a problem related to lock inversion, holding the semaphore
while calling revalidate_disk().  (I'm sorry, this may be wrong and
I can't dig much into it further at the moment.)  In any case, make
sure you test with lockdep enabled and look for splats to the console.

You're right, there was a lock inversion with the header_rwsem and
bdev->bd_mutex. I'll switch to using a new mutex to avoid this.

Also, there was once a function rbd_update_mapping_size(),
which encapsulated both updating the size field and then
calling set_capacity() immediately thereafter.  When images
were refreshed (in rbd_dev_vX_refresh()), these updates would
be made by calling rbd_update_mapping_size().  That made good
sense, but after this commit:
     00a653e216  rbd: update capacity in rbd_dev_refresh()
the function became pretty trivial and it got removed.

I think due to the lockdep thing, revalidate_disk() was
later called outside the protection of the mutex.  It may
be necessary to at least move those size updates back into
the refresh functions to resolve the lockdep problem.

Anyway, having a function that encapsulates these size changes
like before might be nice, but it's not that important.  If
there really is a problem with calling revalidate_disk() with
the mutex held, then it's not all done in a single unit anyway.

Good idea.

rbd_bus_del_dev() ends up releasing the block device, so no requests
to the device remain after this. This makes all the work in
rbd_dev_refresh() unnecessary, as well as race-prone, so skip it if
the watch has been canceled.

This makes sense, but a brief comment explaining why you're
skipping it at the point in the code would be helpful.

I'll add one. Thanks!

Josh

Finally, flush the osd client's notify queue before deallocating the
rbd dev, so that any callbacks remaining can read rbd_dev->watch_event
safely. No more notifies can enter the queue at this point since the
watch has been canceled.

Please verify there's no lockdep reports if you haven't already.
And consider my other comments, but barring lockdep issues:
