[PATCH 2/2] dm-bdev-keep-bdev-always-referenced.patch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Always keep the reference to structure block_device.

Reference to block_device is obtained with function bdget_disk (and is released
with bdput.

bdget_disk was called while the device was being suspended, in dm_suspend() ---
however at this point, there could be another devices already suspended.

bdget_disk can wait for IO and allocate memory and this could result in waiting
for already suspended device, resulting in deadlock.

It caused bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179786

This patch changes the code so that it gets the reference to struct block_device
when struct mapped_device is allocated and initialized in (alloc_dev) and drops
the reference when it is destroyed in free_dev. Thus, there is no call to
bdget_disk, while any device is suspended.
