From 3c522cedb572bb8d2e4867f358bdaa7d0c53d88c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:45:41 +0100 Subject: block: fix refcounting in BLKBSZSET Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to be triggered. 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 --- block/ioctl.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'block/ioctl.c') diff --git a/block/ioctl.c b/block/ioctl.c index 9049d460fa89..1124cd297263 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); -- cgit
