      [PATCH] aio: fix buggy put_ioctx call in aio_complete - v2 · dee11c23
      Ken Chen 提交于
      An AIO bug was reported that sleeping function is being called in softirq
      context:

      flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
      However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
      put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug.  It is simply
      incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
      
      The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
      A possible scenario:
      
      cpu0                               cpu1
      io_destroy                         aio_complete
        wait_for_all_aios {                __aio_put_req
           ...                                 ctx->reqs_active--;
           if (!ctx->reqs_active)
              return;
        }
        ...
        put_ioctx(ioctx)
      
                                           put_ioctx(ctx);
                                              __put_ioctx
                                                bam! Bug trigger!
      
      The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
      wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
      being properly protected by spin lock.
      
      This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
      all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
      as a ref count for each active ioctx.  This also ensures that buggy call
      to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.
