Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix a race condition when unregistering a device
commit 04a258c1 upstream. When build with Debug the following crash is sometimes observed: Call Trace: [<ffffffff812b9600>] string+0x40/0x100 [<ffffffff812bb038>] vsnprintf+0x218/0x5e0 [<ffffffff810baf7d>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff812bb4c1>] vscnprintf+0x11/0x30 [<ffffffff8107a2f0>] vprintk+0xd0/0x5c0 [<ffffffffa0051ea0>] ? vmbus_process_rescind_offer+0x0/0x110 [hv_vmbus] [<ffffffff8155c71c>] printk+0x41/0x45 [<ffffffffa004ebac>] vmbus_device_unregister+0x2c/0x40 [hv_vmbus] [<ffffffffa0051ecb>] vmbus_process_rescind_offer+0x2b/0x110 [hv_vmbus] ... This happens due to the following race: between 'if (channel->device_obj)' check in vmbus_process_rescind_offer() and pr_debug() in vmbus_device_unregister() the device can disappear. Fix the issue by taking an additional reference to the device before proceeding to vmbus_device_unregister(). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
