[PATCH] Fix sysrq emergency thaw

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

 



"SYSRQ + J" triggers a call to emergency_thaw_all(). Currently, this
is an infinite loop. Once we trigger it, we'll need to do a hard
power-cycle. There are users reporting this bug from 2012 to 2016, for
example, at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47741.

This happens because thaw_bdev() fails to return -EINVAL in the
non-frozen case, so fix it so that do_one_thaw() can recognize this case
and quit from looping. I checked that none of the other thaw_bdev()
callers check the return value.

The regression was introduced in commit 4504230a7156 ("freeze_bdev: grab
active reference to frozen superblocks").
