Subject: [PATCH] zram: fix race between backing_dev_show and backing_dev_store
Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2019 17:53:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1571046839-16814-1-git-send-email-chenwandun@huawei.com> (raw)

From: Chenwandun <chenwandun@huawei.com>

CPU0:				       CPU1:
backing_dev_show		       backing_dev_store
    ......				   ......
    file = zram->backing_dev;
    down_read(&zram->init_lock);	   down_read(&zram->init_init_lock)
    file_path(file, ...);		   zram->backing_dev = backing_dev;
    up_read(&zram->init_lock);		   up_read(&zram->init_lock);

get the value of zram->backing_dev too early in backing_dev_show,
that will result the value may be NULL at the begining, and not
NULL later.
