Subject: dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2bec1f4a8832e74ebbe859f176d8a9cb20dd97f4 upstream.
The function dm_get_md finds a device mapper device with a given dev_t,
increases the reference count and returns the pointer.
dm_get_md calls dm_find_md, dm_find_md takes _minor_lock, finds the
device, tests that the device doesn't have DMF_DELETING or DMF_FREEING
flag, drops _minor_lock and returns pointer to the device. dm_get_md then
calls dm_get. dm_get calls BUG if the device has the DMF_FREEING flag,
otherwise it increments the reference count.
There is a possible race condition - after dm_find_md exits and before
dm_get is called, there are no locks held, so the device may disappear or
DMF_FREEING flag may be set, which results in BUG.
To fix this bug, we need to call dm_get while we hold _minor_lock. This
patch renames dm_find_md to dm_get_md and changes it so that it calls
dm_get while holding the lock.
