Subject: ptr_ring: fix race conditions when resizing
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e71695307114335be1ed912f4a347396c2ed0e69 ]
Resizing currently drops consumer lock. This can cause entries to be
reordered, which isn't good in itself. More importantly, consumer can
detect a false ring empty condition and block forever.
Further, nesting of consumer within producer lock is problematic for
tun, since it produces entries in a BH, which causes a lock order
reversal:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
consume:
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
resize:
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
produce:
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);
To fix, nest producer lock within consumer lock during resize,
and keep consumer lock during the whole swap operation.
