From 2b94e8960cc3f225dec058f27570505351f4bc13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Dionne Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:59:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm thin: fix crash by initializing thin device's refcount and completion earlier Commit 80e96c5484be ("dm thin: do not allow thin device activation while pool is suspended") delayed the initialization of a new thin device's refcount and completion until after this new thin was added to the pool's active_thins list and the pool lock is released. This opens a race with a worker thread that walks the list and calls thin_get/put, noticing that the refcount goes to 0 and calling complete, freezing up the system and giving the oops below: kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) kernel: IP: [] __wake_up_common+0x2b/0x90 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [] __wake_up_locked+0x13/0x20 kernel: [] complete+0x37/0x50 kernel: [] thin_put+0x20/0x30 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [] do_worker+0x667/0x870 [dm_thin_pool] kernel: [] ? __schedule+0x3ac/0x9a0 kernel: [] process_one_work+0x14f/0x400 kernel: [] worker_thread+0x6b/0x490 kernel: [] ? rescuer_thread+0x260/0x260 kernel: [] kthread+0xdb/0x100 kernel: [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x170/0x170 kernel: [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 kernel: [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x170/0x170 Set the thin device's initial refcount and initialize the completion before adding it to the pool's active_thins list in thin_ctr().
