If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brian Norris commit 073db4a51ee43ccb827f54a4261c0583b028d5ab upstream. On A MIPS 32-cores machine a BUG_ON was triggered because some acesses to mtd->usecount were done without taking mtd_table_mutex. kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [] __put_mtd_device+0x20/0x50 kernel: [] blktrans_release+0x8c/0xd8 kernel: [] __blkdev_put+0x1a8/0x200 kernel: [] blkdev_close+0x1c/0x30 kernel: [] __fput+0xac/0x250 kernel: [] task_work_run+0xd8/0x120 kernel: [] work_notifysig+0x10/0x18 kernel: kernel: Code: 2442ffff ac8202d8 000217fe <00020336> dc820128 10400003 00000000 0040f809 00000000 kernel: ---[ end trace 080fbb4579b47a73 ]--- Fixed by taking the mutex in blktrans_open and blktrans_release. Note that this locking is already suggested in include/linux/mtd/blktrans.h: struct mtd_blktrans_ops { ... /* Called with mtd_table_mutex held; no race with add/remove */ int (*open)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev); void (*release)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev); ... }; But we weren't following it. Originally reported by (and patched by) Zhang and Giuseppe, independently. Improved and rewritten.
