[PATCH 5.13 086/104] block: delay freeing the gendisk

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 02 2021 - 10:15:11 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 340e84573878b2b9d63210482af46883366361b9 ]

blkdev_get_no_open acquires a reference to the block_device through
the block device inode and then tries to acquire a device model
reference to the gendisk. But at this point the disk migh already
be freed (although the race is free). Fix this by only freeing the
gendisk from the whole device bdevs ->free_inode callback as well.

Fixes: 22ae8ce8b892 ("block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get")
