scsi: core: Avoid that SCSI device removal through sysfs triggers a deadlock
A long time ago the unfortunate decision was taken to add a self-deletion attribute to the sysfs SCSI device directory. That decision was unfortunate because self-deletion is really tricky. We can't drop that attribute because widely used user space software depends on it, namely the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. Hence this patch that avoids that writing into that attribute triggers a deadlock. See also commit 7973cbd9fbd9 ("[PATCH] add sysfs attributes to scan and delete scsi_devices"). This patch avoids that self-removal triggers the following deadlock: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 4.18.0-rc2-dbg+ #5 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ modprobe/6539 is trying to acquire lock: 000000008323c4cd (kn->count#202){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x45/0x90 but task is already holding lock: 00000000a6ec2c69 (&shost->scan_mutex){+.+.}, at: scsi_remove_host+0x21/0x150 [scsi_mod] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&shost->scan_mutex){+.+.}: __mutex_lock+0xfe/0xc70 mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20 scsi_remove_device+0x26/0x40 [scsi_mod] sdev_store_delete+0x27/0x30 [scsi_mod] dev_attr_store+0x3e/0x50 sysfs_kf_write+0x87/0xa0 kernfs_fop_write+0x190/0x230 __vfs_write+0xd2/0x3b0 vfs_write+0x101/0x270 ksys_write+0xab/0x120 __x64_sys_write+0x43/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x77/0x230 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe -> #0 (kn->count#202){++++}: lock_acquire+0xd2/0x260 __kernfs_remove+0x424/0x4a0 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x45/0x90 remove_files.isra.1+0x3a/0x90 sysfs_remove_group+0x5c/0xc0 sysfs_remove_groups+0x39/0x60 device_remove_attrs+0x82/0xb0 device_del+0x251/0x580 __scsi_remove_device+0x19f/0x1d0 [scsi_mod] scsi_forget_host+0x37/0xb0 [scsi_mod] scsi_remove_host+0x9b/0x150 [scsi_mod] sdebug_driver_remove+0x4b/0x150 [scsi_debug] device_release_driver_internal+0x241/0x360 device_release_driver+0x12/0x20 bus_remove_device+0x1bc/0x290 device_del+0x259/0x580 device_unregister+0x1a/0x70 sdebug_remove_adapter+0x8b/0xf0 [scsi_debug] scsi_debug_exit+0x76/0xe8 [scsi_debug] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x1c1/0x280 do_syscall_64+0x77/0x230 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&shost->scan_mutex); lock(kn->count#202); lock(&shost->scan_mutex); lock(kn->count#202); *** DEADLOCK *** 2 locks held by modprobe/6539: #0: 00000000efaf9298 (&dev->mutex){....}, at: device_release_driver_internal+0x68/0x360 #1: 00000000a6ec2c69 (&shost->scan_mutex){+.+.}, at: scsi_remove_host+0x21/0x150 [scsi_mod] stack backtrace: CPU: 10 PID: 6539 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 4.18.0-rc2-dbg+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.0.0-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa4/0xf5 print_circular_bug.isra.34+0x213/0x221 __lock_acquire+0x1a7e/0x1b50 lock_acquire+0xd2/0x260 __kernfs_remove+0x424/0x4a0 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x45/0x90 remove_files.isra.1+0x3a/0x90 sysfs_remove_group+0x5c/0xc0 sysfs_remove_groups+0x39/0x60 device_remove_attrs+0x82/0xb0 device_del+0x251/0x580 __scsi_remove_device+0x19f/0x1d0 [scsi_mod] scsi_forget_host+0x37/0xb0 [scsi_mod] scsi_remove_host+0x9b/0x150 [scsi_mod] sdebug_driver_remove+0x4b/0x150 [scsi_debug] device_release_driver_internal+0x241/0x360 device_release_driver+0x12/0x20 bus_remove_device+0x1bc/0x290 device_del+0x259/0x580 device_unregister+0x1a/0x70 sdebug_remove_adapter+0x8b/0xf0 [scsi_debug] scsi_debug_exit+0x76/0xe8 [scsi_debug] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x1c1/0x280 do_syscall_64+0x77/0x230 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe See also https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org/msg54525.html.
