Subject: elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching
From: Jianpeng Ma <majianpeng@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d50235b7bc3ee0a0427984d763ea7534149531b4 upstream.
There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
->elevator_data.
For example:
Thread A: Thread B
blk_queu_bio elevator_switch
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc
elv_merge elevator_init_fn
Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.
Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
operations in a atomic operation.
Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done
The test method also use this method.
