When we have sysfs attributes which muck with the driver
heavily we me end up with situations where the core
kernel driver removal call races with usage of a sysfs
attribute. The can happen when for instance a lock is
used on the sysfs attribute which is also used for
driver removal.
To fix this we just *try* to get a refcount to the
module prior to mucking with a sysfs attribute. If this
fails we just give up right away. Ideally we'd want
a generic solution, however this requires a bit more
work. If we tried to generalize this on the block layer
the closest we get is the disk->fops->owner, however
zram is an example driver where the disk->fops is
actually even changed *after* module load, and so the
original disk->fops->owner can be dynamic. In zram's
case the fops->owner is the same, however we have no
semantics to ensure this is the case for all block
drivers.
Using these two lines in two separate terminals can easily
reproduce this hang:
Loop 1 on one terminal:
while true;
do modprobe zram;
modprobe -r zram;
done
Loop 2 on a second terminal:
while true; do
echo 1024 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize;
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset;
done
The splat which follows is comes up without this patch.
