dm: fix race between dm_get_from_kobject() and __dm_destroy()
commit b9a41d21dceadf8104812626ef85dc56ee8a60ed upstream. The following BUG_ON was hit when testing repeat creation and removal of DM devices: kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm.c:2919! CPU: 7 PID: 750 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.1.44 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81649e8b>] dm_get_from_kobject+0x34/0x3a [<ffffffff81650ef1>] dm_attr_show+0x2b/0x5e [<ffffffff817b46d1>] ? mutex_lock+0x26/0x44 [<ffffffff811df7f5>] sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x83/0xcf [<ffffffff811de257>] kernfs_seq_show+0x23/0x25 [<ffffffff81199118>] seq_read+0x16f/0x325 [<ffffffff811de994>] kernfs_fop_read+0x3a/0x13f [<ffffffff8117b625>] __vfs_read+0x26/0x9d [<ffffffff8130eb59>] ? security_file_permission+0x3c/0x44 [<ffffffff8117bdb8>] ? rw_verify_area+0x83/0xd9 [<ffffffff8117be9d>] vfs_read+0x8f/0xcf [<ffffffff81193e34>] ? __fdget_pos+0x12/0x41 [<ffffffff8117c686>] SyS_read+0x4b/0x76 [<ffffffff817b606e>] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x71 The bug can be easily triggered, if an extra delay (e.g. 10ms) is added between the test of DMF_FREEING & DMF_DELETING and dm_get() in dm_get_from_kobject(). To fix it, we need to ensure the test of DMF_FREEING & DMF_DELETING and dm_get() are done in an atomic way, so _minor_lock is used. The other callers of dm_get() have also been checked to be OK: some callers invoke dm_get() under _minor_lock, some callers invoke it under _hash_lock, and dm_start_request() invoke it after increasing md->open_count.
