From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> ioc_qos_write() and ioc_cost_model_write() are the same: 1) hold lock to read 'ioc->params' to local variable; 2) update params to local variable without lock; 3) hold lock to write local variable to 'ioc->params'; In theroy, if user updates params concurrenty, the params might be lost: t1: update params a t2: update params b spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock); memcpy(qos, ioc->params.qos, sizeof(qos)) spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock); qos[a] = xxx; spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock); memcpy(qos, ioc->params.qos, sizeof(qos)) spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock); qos[b] = xxx; spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock); memcpy(ioc->params.qos, qos, sizeof(qos)); ioc_refresh_params(ioc, true); spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock); spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock); // updates of a will be lost memcpy(ioc->params.qos, qos, sizeof(qos)); ioc_refresh_params(ioc, true); spin_unlock_irq(&ioc->lock); Althrough this is not common case, the problem can by fixed easily by holding the lock through the read, update, write process.
