delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However
the .last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after
it is cleared from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may
use the cached deleting partition after __delete_partition() is
called, then use-after-free is triggered on the cached partition.

Fixes the issue by the following approach:

1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before
setting .last_lookup

2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to
__delete_partition() which is release handle of the partition's
percpu-refcount, so that no IO path can overwrite .last_lookup after it
is cleared in __delete_partition().

It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead
in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline
in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and
it is easier to understand and verify.

Hi Guys,

Did this patch have been forgotten? So, ping...

Thanks,
Yufen

Hi Ming,

disk_map_sector_rcu() is called from the I/O path only and hence with
q->q_usage_counter > 0. Has it been considered to freeze disk->queue
from delete_partition() before deleting a partition and unfreezing
disk->queue after partition deletion has finished? Would that approach
allow to eliminate partition reference counting and thereby improve the
performance of the hot path?

Thanks,

Bart.

Hi Bart,

I did consider that approach, but this way may cause performance
regression, given deleting any partition drops IO performance a lot
on other un-related partitions.



Thanks,
Ming
