Subject: s390/dasd: Use correct lock while counting channel queue length
Patch-mainline: v6.4-rc6
Git-commit: ccc45cb4e7271c74dbb27776ae8f73d84557f5c6
References: LTC#202775 bsc#1212443
Description: s390/dasd: Use correct lock while counting channel queue length
Symptom: Endless list iterations and eventual system hang.
Problem: Instead of dasd_device lock, the dasd_block lock is used. Due to
this, accessing the device request queue is unprotected and a
simple iteration to count the length can be endless. This in
turn will lead to a hang since the block lock is never released.
Solution: Correctly use the device lock via get_ccwdev_lock(base->cdev).
Reproduction: During I/O on a DASD disk, issue the dasdinfo command that
utilizes the BIODASDINFO ioctl. Depending on the timing and the
amount of I/O the issue will occur sooner or later.
Exmaple:
In one shell issue:
while true; do
dd if=/dev/dasdc of=/dev/null bs=1M;
blockdev --flushbufs /dev/dasdc;
done
In a second shell issue:
while true; do
dasdinfo -a -d /dev/dasdc &> /dev/null;
done
Running 'dasdinfo' as described above in several shells might
trigger the issue earlier.
Upstream-Description:
s390/dasd: Use correct lock while counting channel queue length
The lock around counting the channel queue length in the BIODASDINFO
ioctl was incorrectly changed to the dasd_block->queue_lock with commit
583d6535cb9d ("dasd: remove dead code"). This can lead to endless list
iterations and a subsequent crash.
The queue_lock is supposed to be used only for queue lists belonging to
dasd_block. For dasd_device related queue lists the ccwdev lock must be
used.
Fix the mentioned issues by correctly using the ccwdev lock instead of
the queue lock.
