Subject: [PATCH] block/loop: Serialize ioctl operations.

syzbot is reporting various bugs which involve /dev/loopX.
Two of them

INFO: rcu detected stall in lo_ioctl
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=7b49fb610af9cca78c24e9f796f2e8b0d5573997

general protection fault in lo_ioctl (2)
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f3cfe26e785d85f9ee259f385515291d21bd80a3

suggest that loop module is not thread safe. The former suggests that
l->lo_backing_file is forming circular loop and the latter suggests that
l->lo_backing_file became NULL.

In fact, recursion avoidance check in loop_set_fd() is traversing loop
devices without holding each lo->lo_ctl_mutex lock. lo_state can become
Lo_rundown and lo_backing_file can become NULL if raced with loop_clr_fd().

/* Avoid recursion */
f = file;
while (is_loop_device(f)) {
struct loop_device *l;

if (f->f_mapping->host->i_bdev == bdev)
goto out_putf;

l = f->f_mapping->host->i_bdev->bd_disk->private_data;
if (l->lo_state == Lo_unbound) {
error = -EINVAL;
goto out_putf;
}
f = l->lo_backing_file;
}

Since ioctl() request on loop devices is not frequent operation, we don't
need fine grained locking. Let's use global lock rather than dancing with
locking order inside this recursion avoidance check.

Strategy is that the global lock is held upon entry of ioctl() request,
and release it before either starting operations which might recurse or
leaving ioctl() request. After the global lock is released, current thread
no longer uses "struct loop_device" memory because it might be modified
by next ioctl() request which was waiting for current ioctl() request.

In order to enforce this strategy, this patch inversed
loop_reread_partitions() and loop_unprepare_queue() in loop_clr_fd().
I don't know whether it breaks something, but I don't have testcases.

Since this patch serializes using global lock, race bugs should no longer
exist. Thus, it will be easy to test whether this patch broke something.
