[PATCH v2] virtio-blk: handle block_device_operations callbacks after hot unplug

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

 



A userspace process holding a file descriptor to a virtio_blk device can
still invoke block_device_operations after hot unplug.  For example, a
program that has /dev/vdb open can call ioctl(HDIO_GETGEO) after hot
unplug to invoke virtblk_getgeo().

Introduce a reference count in struct virtio_blk so that its lifetime
covers both virtio_driver probe/remove and block_device_operations
open/release users.  This ensures that block_device_operations functions
like virtblk_getgeo() can safely access struct virtio_blk.

Add remove_mutex to prevent block_device_operations functions from
accessing vblk->vdev during virtblk_remove() and let the safely check
for !vblk->vdev after virtblk_remove() returns.

Switching to a reference count also solves the vd_index_ida leak where
vda, vdb, vdc, etc indices were lost when the device was hot unplugged
while the block device was still open.

If someone has a simpler solution please let me know.  I looked at
various approaches including reusing device_lock(&vblk->vdev.dev) but
they were more complex and extending the lifetime of virtio_device after
remove() has been called seems questionable.
