[PATCH v4] virtio-scsi: Fix the race condition in virtscsi_handle_event

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

 



There is a race condition in virtscsi_handle_event, when many device
hotplug/unplug events flush in quickly.

The scsi_remove_device in virtscsi_handle_transport_reset may trigger
the BUG_ON in scsi_target_reap, because the state is altered behind it,
probably by scsi_scan_host of another event. I'm able to reproduce it by
repeatedly plugging and unplugging a scsi disk with the same lun number.

To fix this, a single thread workqueue (local to the module) is added,
which makes the scan work serialized. With this change, the panic goes
away.

v4: Addressing MST's comments:
    Use ordered workqueue, with WQ_FREEZABLE and WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flags.
    Coding style fixes.

v3: Fix spacing and destroy order. (MST)
