zram: fix race between backing_dev_show and backing_dev_store
CPU0: CPU1: backing_dev_show backing_dev_store ...... ...... file = zram->backing_dev; down_read(&zram->init_lock); down_read(&zram->init_init_lock) file_path(file, ...); zram->backing_dev = backing_dev; up_read(&zram->init_lock); up_read(&zram->init_lock); gets the value of zram->backing_dev too early in backing_dev_show, which resultin the value being NULL at the beginning, and not NULL later. backtrace: d_path+0xcc/0x174 file_path+0x10/0x18 backing_dev_show+0x40/0xb4 dev_attr_show+0x20/0x54 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x9c/0x10c kernfs_seq_show+0x28/0x30 seq_read+0x184/0x488 kernfs_fop_read+0x5c/0x1a4 __vfs_read+0x44/0x128 vfs_read+0xa0/0x138 SyS_read+0x54/0xb4 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1571046839-16814-1-git-send-email-chenwandun@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Chenwandun <chenwandun@huawei.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [4.14+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
