Subject: [PATCH v3] efivars,efi-pstore: Hold off deletion of sysfs entry until,
the scan is completed
Change from v2:
- Move dynamic memory allocation to efi_pstore_read() before holding
efivars->lock to protect entry->var.Data.
- Access to entry->scanning while holding efivars->lock.
- Move a comment about a returned value from efi_pstore_read_func() to
efi_pstore_read() because "size < 0" case may happen in efi_pstore_read().
Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of efi_pstore
driver runs mutiple times as below.
- In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass
a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer.
- In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry and pass
another kmsg buffer to it.
- Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list.
In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function calls.
To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process above is
protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in close().
At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore filesystem
during it.
And then, it causes a following lockdep warning.
To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock,
holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it
via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed.
To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting,
to efivar_entry.
