dm mpath: fix race condition between multipath_dtr and pg_init_done
commit 954a73d5d3073df2231820c718fdd2f18b0fe4c9 upstream.
Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any
further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new
'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future
path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling
pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the
potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device.
Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel
panic:
1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call
to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path
management commands.
2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable
mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the
path activation work.
3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a
NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when
accessing members of the recently destructed multipath:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090
