| H A D | loop.c | 14f27939 Fri Dec 12 07:48:27 CST 2008 Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> loop: Flush possible running bios when loop device is released.
When there are still queued bios and reference count
drops to zero, loop device must flush all queued bios.
Otherwise it can lead to situation that caller
closes the device, but some bios are still running
and endio() function call later OOpses when uses
unallocated mempool.
This happens for example when running dm-crypt over loop,
here is typical oops backtrace:
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
EIP is at mempool_free+0x12/0x6b
...
crypt_dec_pending+0x50/0x54 [dm_crypt]
crypt_endio+0x9f/0xa7 [dm_crypt]
crypt_endio+0x0/0xa7 [dm_crypt]
bio_endio+0x2b/0x2e
loop_thread+0x37a/0x3b1
do_lo_send_aops+0x0/0x165
autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33
loop_thread+0x0/0x3b1
kthread+0x3b/0x61
kthread+0x0/0x61
kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
(But crash is reproducible with different dm targets
running over loop device too.)
Patch fixes it by flushing the bios in release call,
reusing the flush mechanism for switching backing store.
