      Make wait_for_device_probe() also do scsi_complete_async_scans() · eea03c20
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit a7a20d10 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain")
      make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async
      domain.
      
      However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized
      by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes
      the global async space, not all of them).  Which in turn meant that
      "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be
      parsed.
      
      And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on
      for mounting the root filesystem.
      
      Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it
      timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd.  So the root
      filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all.  And then before they
      actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the
      scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected
      wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans().
      
      [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken,
        but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d ("fix async probe
        regression"), so that same commit a7a20d10 had actually broken
        setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ]
      
      Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call
      into wait_for_device_probe().  Everybody who wants to wait for device
      probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's
      no reason not to do this.
      
      So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and
      properly waits for device probing to finish.  This also removes the now
      unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

      cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race · 5db9a4d9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      48ddbe19 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
      optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
      removed.  As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
      that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
      
      Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
      critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code.  As each cgroup dentry
      holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
      and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
      superblock.
      
      Unfortunately, after 48ddbe19, there's a small window while
      releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
      When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
      corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
      recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
      released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
      it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
      
      This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
      superblock's s_active is.  If umount happens before or during this
      window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
      BUG().
      
      Before 48ddbe19, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
      reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
      invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
      
      Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
      dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe19
      and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
      final cgroup dput().

      Revert "cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries" · 7db5b3ca
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This reverts commit fa980ca8.  The
      commit was an attempt to fix a race condition where a cgroup hierarchy
      may be unmounted with positive dentry reference on root cgroup.  While
      the commit made the race condition slightly more difficult to trigger,
      the race was still there and could be reliably triggered using a
      different test case.
      
      Revert the incorrect fix.  The next commit will describe the race and
      fix it correctly.
