    Drivers: hv: balloon: check if ha_region_mutex was acquired in MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE case · 4e4bd36f

    Memory notifiers are being executed in a sequential order and when one of
    them fails returning something different from NOTIFY_OK the remainder of
    the notification chain is not being executed. When a memory block is being
    onlined in online_pages() we do memory_notify(MEM_GOING_ONLINE, ) and if
    one of the notifiers in the chain fails we end up doing
    memory_notify(MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE, ) so it is possible for a notifier to see
    MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE without seeing the corresponding MEM_GOING_ONLINE event.
    E.g. when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kasan_mem_notifier() is being used
    to prevent memory hotplug, it returns NOTIFY_BAD for all MEM_GOING_ONLINE
    events. As kasan_mem_notifier() comes before the hv_memory_notifier() in
    the notification chain we don't see the MEM_GOING_ONLINE event and we do
    not take the ha_region_mutex. We, however, see the MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event
    and unconditionally try to release the lock, the following is observed:
    
    [  110.850927] =====================================
    [  110.850927] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
    [  110.850927] 4.1.0-rc3_bugxxxxxxx_test_xxxx #595 Not tainted
    [  110.850927] -------------------------------------
    [  110.850927] systemd-udevd/920 is trying to release lock
    (&dm_device.ha_region_mutex) at:
    [  110.850927] [<ffffffff81acda0e>] mutex_unlock+0xe/0x10
    [  110.850927] but there are no more locks to release!
    
    At the same time we can have the ha_region_mutex taken when we get the
    MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE event in case one of the memory notifiers after the
    hv_memory_notifier() in the notification chain failed so we need to add
    the mutex_is_locked() check. In case of MEM_ONLINE we are always supposed
    to have the mutex locked.
