This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled zonefs: Fix race between modprobe and mount to the 6.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: zonefs-fix-race-between-modprobe-and-mount.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit db3322723a7af513bbf8c73d9476e48dac0034fe Author: Zhang Xiaoxu <zhangxiaoxu5@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Nov 20 18:57:59 2022 +0800 zonefs: Fix race between modprobe and mount [ Upstream commit 4e45886956a20942800259f326a04417292ae314 ] There is a race between modprobe and mount as below: modprobe zonefs | mount -t zonefs --------------------------------|------------------------- zonefs_init | register_filesystem [1] | | zonefs_fill_super [2] zonefs_sysfs_init [3] | 1. register zonefs suceess, then 2. user can mount the zonefs 3. if sysfs initialize failed, the module initialize failed. Then the mount process maybe some error happened since the module initialize failed. Let's register zonefs after all dependency resource ready. And reorder the dependency resource release in module exit.
