[PATCH v5 3/3] Staging: zram: Fix decrement of variable by calling bdput()

[Rashika Kheria]

As suggested by Jerome Marchand "The code in reset_store get the block device
(bdget_disk()) but it does not put it (bdput()) when it's done using it.
The usage count is therefor incremented but never decremented."

Hence, this patch introduces a call to bdput() to decrement the variable after usage.

Hello Rashika,

It's better than old but I still want it more better.
First of all, I hope patch description is more clear in case of bugfix patch
because other maintainers from stable/distro or other people could understand
well so they could judge once again whether they need to backport or not.
If maintainer judge that it's not severe, even they couldn't backport.

Patch description includes followin as, at least.

1. When this bug happens?
2. What's the result of user POV?
3. How to fix it.

You were good for 2 and 3 but 1

I can help.

If memory pressure is severe, inode could be reclaimed.
In this case, bdget_disk can return NULL because allocation of inode
in bdget could fail.

I hope you could do better massage.

In addition, this bug have been for a long time so it deserves backporting to
stable tree. In such case, you could Cc stable tree with stable mark.
Please refer Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt and others patches
in LKML.

After this year kernel summit, it seems to change something rule for
marking stable but I thinks it's not solid so old rule still would be
valid.

Thanks!

I think this patch is for stable, too.
So, please read my previous reply.

And please relocate this with [2/3] and do bdput in all of error cases
in reset_store.

[PATCH v7 1/3] Staging: zram: Fix access of NULL pointer

[Rashika Kheria]

This patch fixes the bug in reset_store caused by accessing NULL pointer.

The bdev gets its value from bdget_disk() which could fail when memory
pressure is severe and hence can return NULL because allocation of
inode in bdget could fail.

Hence, this patch introduces a check for bdev to prevent reference to a
NULL pointer in the later part of the code. It also removes unnecessary
check of bdev for fsync_bdev().

It shouldn't be a stable stuff because it's just warning of Smatch
but there is no bug in real practice.

Oops, Sorry.
I don't think EBUSY is right. How about ENOMEM?

[PATCH v8 1/3] Staging: zram: Fix access of NULL pointer

[Rashika Kheria]

This patch fixes the bug in reset_store caused by accessing NULL pointer.

The bdev gets its value from bdget_disk() which could fail when memory
pressure is severe and hence can return NULL because allocation of
inode in bdget could fail.

Hence, this patch introduces a check for bdev to prevent reference to a
NULL pointer in the later part of the code. It also removes unnecessary
check of bdev for fsync_bdev().

[Rashika Kheria]

As suggested by Jerome Marchand "The code in reset_store get the block device
(bdget_disk()) but it does not put it (bdput()) when it's done using it.
The usage count is therefore incremented but never decremented."

This patch also puts bdput() for all error cases.

If bdev is NULL, just return -ENOMEM; DO NOT goto out;
or you will get a NULL point reference in bdput(bdev);

[PATCH v9 1/2] Staging: zram: Fix access of NULL pointer

[Rashika Kheria]

This patch fixes the bug in reset_store caused by accessing NULL pointer.

The bdev gets its value from bdget_disk() which could fail when memory
pressure is severe and hence can return NULL because allocation of
inode in bdget could fail.

Hence, this patch introduces a check for bdev to prevent reference to a
NULL pointer in the later part of the code. It also removes unnecessary
check of bdev for fsync_bdev().

explained it.

[PATCH v10] Staging: zram: Fix memory leak by refcount mismatch

[Rashika Kheria]

As suggested by Minchan Kim and Jerome Marchand "The code in reset_store
get the block device (bdget_disk()) but it does not put it (bdput()) when
it's done using it. The usage count is therefore incremented but never
decremented."

This patch also puts bdput() for all error cases.

Hi,

Thanks Minchan and Jerome for all you support and patience.
Your guidance helped me learn more about zram and kernel coding style
in general. :)

I'm a bit confused now, I see three different zram patches from you,
with different subjects, are they all now just in one patch, this one?

Can you just send me the outstanding zram patches that you have gotten
acks from that you want applied, as I'm lost here.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

You have already applied the rest two patches for this driver. This is
the only patch which is left.

But I think you might have problem applying this because there have
been changes in previous patches later i.e you applied v8 of this
series, while, maintainers later suggested to change more and hence v9
was also introduced.

Therefore, v9's patch 1 and v10 patch is correct to be applied in the tree.

Thanks,
