From 0d301856de347a43fa87833dba61d3239211429f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2016 11:15:13 -0700 Subject: block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch commit df08c32ce3be5be138c1dbfcba203314a3a7cd6f upstream. The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt. However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a bdi with the same name is still live. Arrange for the bdi to hold a reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered. Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following: WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2078 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/259:1' Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8, BIOS P79 05/06/2015 0000000000000286 0000000002c04ad5 ffff88006f24f970 ffffffff8134caec ffff88006f24f9c0 0000000000000000 ffff88006f24f9b0 ffffffff8108c351 0000001f0000000c ffff88105d236000 ffff88105d1031e0 ffff8800357427f8 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x63/0x87 [] __warn+0xd1/0xf0 [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80 [] sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80 [] sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x7e/0x90 [] kobject_add_internal+0xaa/0x320 [] ? vsnprintf+0x34e/0x4d0 [] kobject_add+0x75/0xd0 [] ? mutex_lock+0x12/0x2f [] device_add+0x125/0x610 [] device_create_groups_vargs+0xd8/0x100 [] device_create_vargs+0x1c/0x20 [] bdi_register+0x8c/0x180 [] bdi_register_dev+0x27/0x30 [] add_disk+0x175/0x4a0 Reported-by: Yi Zhang Tested-by: Yi Zhang Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Fixed up missing 0 return in bdi_register_owner().
