Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 34/38] nbd: fix race between nbd_alloc_config() and module removal

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit c55b2b983b0fa012942c3eb16384b2b722caa810 ]

When nbd module is being removing, nbd_alloc_config() may be
called concurrently by nbd_genl_connect(), although try_module_get()
will return false, but nbd_alloc_config() doesn't handle it.

The race may lead to the leak of nbd_config and its related
resources (e.g, recv_workq) and oops in nbd_read_stat() due
to the unload of nbd module as shown below:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  CPU: 5 PID: 13840 Comm: kworker/u17:33 Not tainted 5.14.0+ #1
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
  Workqueue: knbd16-recv recv_work [nbd]
  RIP: 0010:nbd_read_stat.cold+0x130/0x1a4 [nbd]
  Call Trace:
   recv_work+0x3b/0xb0 [nbd]
   process_one_work+0x1ed/0x390
   worker_thread+0x4a/0x3d0
   kthread+0x12a/0x150
   ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

Fixing it by checking the return value of try_module_get()
in nbd_alloc_config(). As nbd_alloc_config() may return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
assign nbd->config only when nbd_alloc_config() succeeds to ensure
the value of nbd->config is binary (valid or NULL).

Also adding a debug message to check the reference counter
of nbd_config during module removal.
