[PATCH 1/2] staging: zram: fix handle_pending_slot_free() and zram_reset_device() race

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

 



Dan Carpenter noted that handle_pending_slot_free() is racy with
zram_reset_device(). Take write init_lock in zram_slot_free(), thus
preventing any concurrent zram_slot_free(), zram_bvec_rw() or
zram_reset_device(). This also allows to safely check zram->init_done
in handle_pending_slot_free().

Initial intention was to minimze number of handle_pending_slot_free()
call from zram_bvec_rw(), which were slowing down READ requests due to
slot_free_lock spin lock. Jerome Marchand suggested to remove
handle_pending_slot_free() from zram_bvec_rw().
