[PATCH v4] block/loop: Serialize ioctl operations.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 05:58:37 EST

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference [1] which is caused by
race condition between ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0) versus
ioctl(other_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, loop_fd) due to traversing other
loop devices without holding corresponding locks.

syzbot is also reporting circular locking dependency between bdev->bd_mutex
and lo->lo_ctl_mutex [2] which is caused by calling blkdev_reread_part()
with lock held.

Since ioctl() request on loop devices is not frequent operation, we don't
need fine grained locking. Let's use global lock and simplify the locking
order.

Strategy is that the global lock is held upon entry of ioctl() request,
and release it before either starting operations which might deadlock 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 inverted
loop_reread_partitions() and loop_unprepare_queue() in loop_clr_fd().
According to Ming Lei, calling loop_unprepare_queue() before
loop_reread_partitions() (like we did until 3.19) is fine.

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.
Since syzbot is reporting various bugs [3] where a race in the loop module
is suspected, let's check whether this patch affects these bugs too.
