Subject: [PATCH v2 06/10] blk-debugfs: upgrade warns to BUG_ON() if directory is already found
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2020 19:45:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200419194529.4872-7-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200419194529.4872-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>

Now that we have moved release_queue from being asynchronous to
synchronous, and fixed how we use the debugfs directory with blktrace
we should no longer have expected races with device removal/addition
and other operations with the debugfs directory.

If races do happen however, we want to be informed of *how* this races
happens rather than dealing with a debugfs splat, so upgrading this to a
BUG_ON() should capture better information about how this can happen
in the future.

This is specially true these days with funky reproducers in userspace
for which we have no access to, but only a bug splat.

Note that on addition the gendisk kobject is used as the parent for the
request_queue kobject, and upon removal, now that request_queue removal
is synchronous, blk_unregister_queue() is called prior to the gendisk
device_del(). This means we expect to see a sysfs clash first now prior
to running into a race with the debugfs dentry; so this bug would be
considered highly unlikely.
