Subject: [PATCH] devcoredump : Serialize devcd_del work
In following scenario(diagram), when one thread X running dev_coredumpm() adds devcd
device to the framework which sends uevent notification to userspace
and another thread Y reads this uevent and call to devcd_data_write()
which eventually try to delete the queued timer that is not initialized/queued yet.
So, debug object reports some warning and in the meantime, timer is initialized
and queued from X path. and from Y path, it gets reinitialized again and
timer->entry.pprev=NULL and try_to_grab_pending() stucks.
To fix this, introduce mutex to serialize the behaviour.
cpu0(X) cpu1(Y)
dev_coredump() uevent sent to userspace
device_add() =========================> userspace process Y reads the uevents
writes to devcd fd which
results into writes to
devcd_data_write()
mod_delayed_work()
try_to_grab_pending()
del_timer()
debug_assert_init()
INIT_DELAYED_WORK
schedule_delayed_work
debug_object_fixup()
timer_fixup_assert_init()
timer_setup()
do_init_timer() ==> reinitialized the
timer to
timer->entry.pprev=NULL
timer_pending()
!hlist_unhashed_lockless(&timer->entry)
!h->pprev ==> del_timer checks
and finds it to be NULL
try_to_grab_pending() stucks.
