wbt's lazy init is tied to one of the block device sysfs files, right? So,

That seems not true, I don't think q->sysfs_lock can protect that,
consider that queue_wb_lat_store() doesn't check if del_gendisk() is
called or not:

t1: wbt lazy init		t2: remove device
queue_attr_store
				del_gendisk
				blk_unregister_queue
				 mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_lock)
			         ...
				 mutex_unlock(&q->sysfs_lock);
				rq_qos_exit
  mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
   queue_wb_lat_store
   wbt_init
    rq_qos_add
  mutex_unlock(&q->sysfs_lock);

So, it's not sysfs_lock but sysfs file deletion. When a kernfs, which backs
sysfs, file is removed, it disables future operations and drains all
inflight ones before returning, so you remove the interface files before
cleaning up the object that it interacts with, you don't have to worry about
racing against file operations as none can be in flight at that point.

Ok, thanks for explanation, I'll look into this and try to find out how
this works.


I tried to comfirm that by adding following delay:

         mutex_lock(&q->sysfs_lock);
         res = entry->store(q, page, length);
         mutex_unlock(&q->sysfs_lock);

And then do the following test:

1) echo 10000 > /sys/block/sdb/queue/wbt_lat_usec &
2) echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/delete

Then, following bug is triggered:

This indicates that we aren't getting the destruction order right. It could
be that there are other reasons why the ordering is like this and we might
have to synchronize separately.

Sorry that I've been asking you to go round and round but block device
add/remove paths have always been really tricky and we wanna avoid adding
more complications if at all possible. Can you see why the device is being
destroyed before the queue attr is removed?

Of course, I'll glad to help, I'll let you know if I have any progress.

Thanks,
Kuai
