From 6050fa4c84cc93ae509f5105f585a429dffc5633 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2021 19:47:40 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] loop: don't hold lo_mutex during __loop_clr_fd()

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for commit 87579e9b7d8dc36e ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker") is calling destroy_workqueue() with lo->lo_mutex held.

Since all functions where lo->lo_state matters are already checking lo->lo_state with lo->lo_mutex held (in order to avoid racing with e.g. ioctl(LOOP_CTL_REMOVE)), and __loop_clr_fd() can be called from either ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) xor close(), lo->lo_state == Lo_rundown is considered as an exclusive lock for __loop_clr_fd(). Therefore, hold lo->lo_mutex inside __loop_clr_fd() only when asserting/updating lo->lo_state.

Since ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) depends on lo->lo_state == Lo_bound, a valid lo->lo_backing_file must have been assigned by ioctl(LOOP_SET_FD) or ioctl(LOOP_CONFIGURE). Thus, we can remove lo->lo_backing_file test, and convert __loop_clr_fd() into a void function.
