From 158eaeba4b8edf9940f64daa83cbd1ac7db7593c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 07:29:15 +0200 Subject: loop: avoid loop_validate_mutex/lo_mutex in ->release Since ->release is called with disk->open_mutex held, and __loop_clr_fd() from lo_release() is called via ->release when disk_openers() == 0, we are guaranteed that "struct file" which will be passed to loop_validate_file() via fget() cannot be the loop device __loop_clr_fd(lo, true) will clear. Thus, there is no need to hold loop_validate_mutex from __loop_clr_fd() if release == true. When I made commit 3ce6e1f662a91097 ("loop: reintroduce global lock for safe loop_validate_file() traversal"), I wrote "It is acceptable for loop_validate_file() to succeed, for actual clear operation has not started yet.". But now I came to feel why it is acceptable to succeed. It seems that the loop driver was added in Linux 1.3.68, and if (lo->lo_refcnt > 1) return -EBUSY; check in loop_clr_fd() was there from the beginning. The intent of this check was unclear. But now I think that current disk_openers(lo->lo_disk) > 1 form is there for three reasons. (1) Avoid I/O errors when some process which opens and reads from this loop device in response to uevent notification (e.g. systemd-udevd), as described in commit a1ecac3b0656a682 ("loop: Make explicit loop device destruction lazy"). This opener is short-lived because it is likely that the file descriptor used by that process is closed soon. (2) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of stacked loop devices (i.e. ioctl(some_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, other_loop_fd)) being suddenly disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is associated with not a file descriptor but lo->lo_backing_file. (3) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of mounted loop device (i.e. mount(some_loop_device, some_mount_point)) being suddenly disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is associated with not a file descriptor but mount. While race in (1) might be acceptable, (2) and (3) should be checked racelessly. That is, make sure that __loop_clr_fd() will not run if loop_validate_file() succeeds, by doing refcount check with global lock held when explicit loop device destruction is requested. As a result of no longer waiting for lo->lo_mutex after setting Lo_rundown, we can remove pointless BUG_ON(lo->lo_state != Lo_rundown) check.
