    block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle · 39a169b6
    Roman Pen 提交于
    get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
    increase the reference on the disk owner module.
    
    The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
    to put it:
    
        disk = get_gendisk(...);
    
        /* use disk */
    
        owner = disk->fops->owner;
        put_disk(disk);
        module_put(owner);
    
    fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
    blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
    a module reference.  To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
    can be used.  In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
    (actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):
    
        # lsmod | grep brd
        brd                     5175  0
        # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
            /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
        done
        # lsmod | grep brd
        brd                     5175  100
    
    Now brd module has 100 references.
    
    The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().
