From 2b5bebccd282f2527d17ac90cf3ad0d486dd89d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Lawrence Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 10:57:56 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] st: Take additional queue ref in st_probe MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch fixes a reference count bug in the SCSI tape driver which can be reproduced with the following: * Boot with slub_debug=FZPU, tape drive attached * echo 1 > /sys/devices/... tape device pci path .../remove * Wait for device removal * echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/blkdev_queue/validate * Slub debug complains about corrupted poison pattern In commit 523e1d39 (block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue) add_disk() and disk_release() were modified to get/put an additional reference on a disk queue to fix a reference counting discrepency between bdev release and SCSI device removal. The ST driver never calls add_disk(), so this commit introduced an extra kref put when the ST driver frees its struct gendisk. Attempts were made to fix this bug at the block level [1] but later abandoned due to floppy driver issues [2].
