[PATCH 4.14 109/157] ubi: fastmap: Cancel work upon detach
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jul 01 2018 - 12:34:24 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>
commit 6e7d80161066c99d12580d1b985cb1408bb58cf1 upstream.
Ben Hutchings pointed out that 29b7a6fa1ec0 ("ubi: fastmap: Don't flush
fastmap work on detach") does not really fix the problem, it just
reduces the risk to hit the race window where fastmap work races against
free()'ing ubi->volumes[].
The correct approach is making sure that no more fastmap work is in
progress before we free ubi data structures.
So we cancel fastmap work right after the ubi background thread is
stopped.
By setting ubi->thread_enabled to zero we make sure that no further work
tries to wake the thread.
Fixes: 29b7a6fa1ec0 ("ubi: fastmap: Don't flush fastmap work on detach")
Fixes: 74cdaf24004a ("UBI: Fastmap: Fix memory leaks while closing the WL sub-system")
