[PATCH] UBI: Fix possible deadlock in erase_worker()

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

 



If sync_erase() failes with EINTR, ENOMEM, EAGAIN or
EBUSY erase_worker() re-schedules the failed work.
This will lead to a deadlock because erase_worker() is called
with work_sem held in read mode. And schedule_erase() will take
this lock again.

Fix this issue by adding a locked flag to schedule_erase(),
it indicates whether the caller owns work_sem already.
