There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may

Changes from v4:
* [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in

* [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.
Changes from v3:
* release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
* not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Patchset looks good to me, although I didn't test it on hardware yet.
Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@xxxxxxxxx>
James, care to pick this up?
Acked-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Tested O_EXCL with multiple processes and threads; passed.
sg driver prior to this patch had "leaky" O_EXCL logic
according to the same test. Block device passed.
James, could you clean this up:
drivers/scsi/sg.c:242:6: warning: unused variable ‘res’
[-Wunused-variable]
Further testing suggests this patch on the sg driver is
broken, so I'll rescind my ack.
The case it is broken for is when a device is opened
without O_EXCL. Now if, while it is open, a second
thread/process tries to open the same device O_EXCL
then IMO the second open should fail with EBUSY.
My testing shows that O_EXCL opens properly deflect
other O_EXCL opens.
Hi Doug,
My test don't have this issue. The routine is something as below:
I start three opens without O_EXCL, wait 30s each, and open with
O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK, it failed with EBUSY.
And I also call myopen with/without O_EXCL many times in background at
the same time, and the test is passed. I don't know why it failed in
your test.
Usage: myopen [-e][-n][-d delay] -f file
-e: exclude
-n: nonblock
-d: delay N seconds and then close.

Hi,
After the initial failures about 36 hours ago, retesting
yesterday and today has not produced any unexpected
failures. And I have been trying hard on lk 3.10.4 and
lk 3.10.5 .
My test program is a bit more intense than yours and can
be found in the sg3_utils beta in the News section of this
page:
http://sg.danny.cz/sg/
It is in the examples directory, two variants called
sg_tst_excl and sg_tst_excl2 . You will need a recent gcc
compiler, IOW something that can compile c++11 . gcc 4.7.3
in Ubuntu 13.04 only just manages, fedora 19 should do
better with gcc 4.8.1 . The threading is implemented using
pthreads so it should be reliable.
Typically I run multiple instances (processes) and each has
multiple threads. One instance can run '-x' which will cause
its first thread not to use O_EXCL **. All my tests currently
use O_NONBLOCK and that leads to lots of EBUSYs (sometimes
in the billions).
Doug Gilbert
** Using '-x' on two instances will cause an expected failure
so can be used as a control.
Hi Doug,
Can I regard this as you ACK it again?
Hi,
I'd like you to test your setup with sg_tst_excl or sg_tst_excl2 .
Since my last email, I have not seen any more failures with those
tests on the patched sg driver but I did see a couple on
/dev/sd* . With sg_tst_excl2, bsg devices can be used and since bsg
accepts and ignores O_EXCL, it fails reliably.
BTW I use scsi_debug with 'delay=0' for a pseudo device.
