    md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCU · 4b80991c
    NeilBrown 提交于
    All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
    under the reconfig_mutex lock.  However there are three places where
    the list is walked without any locking.  If a reconfig happens at this
    time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.
    
    So use RCU to protect these accesses:
      - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
      - use list_for_each_entry_rcu
      - add to the list with list_add_rcu
      - delete from the list with list_del_rcu
      - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work
    
    Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list.  In almost all
    cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
    safe.  It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
    the list_head.
    An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
      - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
         already been done,
      - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
      - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
          add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
      - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
          different list.
    
    So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
    immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.
    
    Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
    mddev->list (e.g. candidates).  In these cases rcu is not needed.
