The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error. The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior of blkdev_get(). This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29202 (and likely 29792 too) Reported-by: Adam Kovari Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/block/ioctl.c b/block/ioctl.c index 9049d46..1124cd2 100644 --- a/block/ioctl.c +++ b/block/ioctl.c @@ -294,9 +294,11 @@ int blkdev_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, unsigned cmd, return -EINVAL; if (get_user(n, (int __user *) arg)) return -EFAULT; - if (!(mode & FMODE_EXCL) && - blkdev_get(bdev, mode | FMODE_EXCL, &bdev) < 0) - return -EBUSY; + if (!(mode & FMODE_EXCL)) { + bdgrab(bdev); + if (blkdev_get(bdev, mode | FMODE_EXCL, &bdev) < 0) + return -EBUSY; + } ret = set_blocksize(bdev, n); if (!(mode & FMODE_EXCL)) blkdev_put(bdev, mode | FMODE_EXCL);
