Subject: [PATCH v3] psi: fix race between psi_trigger_create and psimon
Date:   Tue, 18 May 2021 17:06:56 +0800
Message-Id: <1621328816-21332-1-git-send-email-huangzhaoyang@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

Race detected between psimon_new and psimon_old as shown below, which
cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry
and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. Under this modification, the
race window is removed by initialising poll_wait and poll_timer in
group_init which are executed only once at beginning.

psi_trigger_create      psimon_new     psimon_old
 init_waitqueue_head                    finish_wait
                                          spin_lock(lock_old)
  spin_lock_init(lock_new)
 wake_up_process(psimon_new)

                        finish_wait
                          spin_lock(lock_new)
                            list_del       list_del

v2: change del_timer_sync to del_timer in psi_trigger_destroy
v3: remove timer_setup within psi_tirgger_create
    protect del_timer by extending the critical section of mutex_lock
