[SCSI] sd: revive sd_index_lock
Commit f27bac2761cab5a2e212dea602d22457a9aa6943 which converted sd
to
use ida instead of idr incorrectly removed sd_index_lock around id
allocation and free. idr/ida do have internal locks but they
protect
their free object lists not the allocation itself. The caller is
responsible for that. This missing synchronization led to the same
id
being assigned to multiple devices leading to oops.
I'm confused. Tejun, Greg, anyone can probes happen in parallel?
If so, I'll have to review all my drivers.
Unless async is explicitly used, probe happens sequentially. IOW, if
there's no async_schedule() call, things won't happen in parallel.
That said, I think it wouldn't be such a bad idea to protect ida with
spinlock regardless unless the probe code explicitly requires
serialization.
Thanks.
Since virtio blk driver doesn't use async probe, it needn't use spinlock to
protect ida.
So remove the lock from patch.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [virt] virtio-blk: Use ida to allocate disk index
Current index allocation in virtio-blk is based on a monotonically
increasing variable index. It could cause some confusion about disk
name in the case of hot-plugging disks. And it's impossible to find the
lowest available index by just maintaining a simple index. So it's
changed to use ida to allocate index via referring to the index
allocation in scsi disk.

This got lost in the noise and missed 3.1 which is unfortunate.
How about we apply this as is and look at cleanups as a next step?
Rusty, any opinion on merging this for 3.2?
I expect merge window will open right after the summit,
so need to decide soon ...

[SCSI] sd: revive sd_index_lock
Commit f27bac2761cab5a2e212dea602d22457a9aa6943 which converted sd to
use ida instead of idr incorrectly removed sd_index_lock around id
allocation and free. idr/ida do have internal locks but they protect
their free object lists not the allocation itself. The caller is
responsible for that. This missing synchronization led to the same id
being assigned to multiple devices leading to oops.
I'm confused. Tejun, Greg, anyone can probes happen in parallel?
If so, I'll have to review all my drivers.
Unless async is explicitly used, probe happens sequentially. IOW, if
there's no async_schedule() call, things won't happen in parallel.
That said, I think it wouldn't be such a bad idea to protect ida with
spinlock regardless unless the probe code explicitly requires
serialization.
Thanks.
Since virtio blk driver doesn't use async probe, it needn't use spinlock to
protect ida.
So remove the lock from patch.

As we get index first thing in _probe, let's remove last thing

to problems here, but it's better to stick to this rule regardless,
