blk-mq: bitmap tag: fix race on blk_mq_bitmap_tags::wake_cnt
This piece of code in bt_clear_tag() function is racy: bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); if (bs && atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt)) { atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt); wake_up(&bs->wait); } Since nothing prevents bt_wake_ptr() from returning the very same 'bs' address on multiple CPUs, the following scenario is possible: CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- 0. bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt); 1. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt) 2. atomic_dec_and_test(&bs->wait_cnt) 3. atomic_set(&bs->wait_cnt, bt->wake_cnt); If the decrement in [1] yields zero then for some amount of time the decrement in [2] results in a negative/overflow value, which is not expected. The follow-up assignment in [3] overwrites the invalid value with the batch value (and likely prevents the issue from being severe) which is still incorrect and should be a lesser.
