From 412a19b64ad17f7650ff778fd2cb9032938cf71f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 14:57:31 +0900 Subject: v9fs: fix error handling in v9fs_session_init() On failure, v9fs_session_init() returns with the v9fs_session_info struct partially initialized and expects the caller to invoke v9fs_session_close() to clean it up; however, it doesn't track whether the bdi is initialized or not and curiously invokes bdi_destroy() in both vfs_session_init() failure path too. A. If v9fs_session_init() fails before the bdi is initialized, the follow-up v9fs_session_close() will invoke bdi_destroy() on an uninitialized bdi. B. If v9fs_session_init() fails after the bdi is initialized, bdi_destroy() will be called twice on the same bdi - once in the failure path of v9fs_session_init() and then by v9fs_session_close(). A is broken no matter what. B used to be okay because bdi_destroy() allowed being invoked multiple times on the same bdi, which BTW was broken in its own way - if bdi_destroy() was invoked on an initialiezd but !registered bdi, it'd fail to free percpu counters. Since f0054bb1e1f3 ("writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback"), this no longer work - bdi_destroy() on an initialized but not registered bdi works correctly but multiple invocations of bdi_destroy() is no longer allowed. The obvious culprit here is v9fs_session_init()'s odd and broken error behavior. It should simply clean up after itself on failures. This patch makes the following updates to v9fs_session_init(). * @rc -> @retval error return propagation removed. It didn't serve any purpose. Just use @rc. * Move addition to v9fs_sessionlist to the end of the function so that incomplete sessions are not put on the list or iterated and error path doesn't have to worry about it. * Update error handling so that it cleans up after itself.
