I would not call it *every* syfs knob as not all deal with things which are related to CPU hotplug multistate, right? Note that using just try_module_get() alone (that is the second patch only, does not fix the race I am describing above). There are two issues. > Below specific example is one of them and every sysfs code in zram > could access freed object(e.g., zram->something). > And you are claiming there isn't good way to fix it in kernfs(please > add it in the description, too) even though it's general problem. Correct, the easier route would have been through the block layer as its the one adding our syfs attributes for us but even it canno deal with this race on behalf of drivers given the currently exposed semantics on kernfs. > (If we had, we may detect the race and make zram_remove_cb fails > so unloading modulies fails, finally) > > So, shouldn't we introcude a global rw_semaphore? > > destroy_devices > class_unregister > down_write(&zram_unload); > idr_for_each(zram_remove_cb); > up_write(&zram_unload); > > And every sysfs code hold the lock with down_read in the first place > and release the lock right before return. So, introduce a zram sysfs > wrapper to centralize all of locking logic. Actually that does work but only if we use write lock attempts so to be able to knock two birds with one stone, so to address the deadlock with sysfs attribute removal. We're not asking politely to read some value off of a zram devices with these locks, we're ensuring to not run if our driver is going to be removed, so replacing the try_module_get() with something similar. > Does it make sense? > > > > > And so we can have: > > > > static void destroy_devices(void) > > { > > class_unregister(&zram_control_class); > > idr_for_each(&zram_index_idr, &zram_remove_cb, NULL); > > zram_debugfs_destroy(); > > idr_destroy(&zram_index_idr); > > unregister_blkdev(zram_major, "zram"); > > cpuhp_remove_multi_state(CPUHP_ZCOMP_PREPARE); > > } > > > > While destroy_devices() runs we can have this race: > > > > > > CPU 1 CPU 2 > > > > class_unregister(...); > > idr_for_each(...); > I think sysfs was already remove here. > > zram_debugfs_destroy(); > > disksize_store(...) > > idr_destroy(...); > > unregister_blkdev(...); > > cpuhp_remove_multi_state(...); > > So, > > CPU 1 CPU 2 > > destroy_devices > .. > disksize_store() > zcomp_create > zcomp_init > idr_for_each(zram_remove_cb > zram_remove > zram_reset > zcomp_destroy > cpuhp_state_remove_instance > cpuhp_state_add_instance > .. > > cpuhp_remove_multi_state(...) > Detect! > kernel: Error: Removing state 63 which has instances left.

Let's have it in the commit log. Sure OK, well the following is what I end up with.
