xfs: fix race between healthmon unmount and read_iter
xfs/1879 on one of my test VMs got stuck due to the xfs_io healthmon subcommand sleeping in wait_event_interruptible at: xfs_healthmon_read_iter+0x558/0x5f8 [xfs] vfs_read+0x248/0x320 ksys_read+0x78/0x120 Looking at xfs_healthmon_read_iter, in !O_NONBLOCK mode it will sleep until the mount cookie == DETACHED_MOUNT_COOKIE, there are events waiting to be formatted, or there are formatted events in the read buffer that could be copied to userspace. Poking into the running kernel, I see that there are zero events in the list, the read buffer is empty, and the mount cookie is indeed in DETACHED state. IOWs, xfs_healthmon_has_eventdata should have returned true, but instead we're asleep waiting for a wakeup. I think what happened here is that xfs_healthmon_read_iter and xfs_healthmon_unmount were racing with each other, and _read_iter lost the race. _unmount queued an unmount event, which woke up _read_iter. It found, formatted, and copied the event out to userspace. That cleared out the pending event list and emptied the read buffer. xfs_io then called read() again, so _has_eventdata decided that we should sleep on the empty event queue. Next, _unmount called xfs_healthmon_detach, which set the mount cookie to DETACHED. Unfortunately, it didn't call wake_up_all on the hm, so the wait_event_interruptible in the _read_iter thread remains asleep. That's why the test stalled. Fix this by moving the wake_up_all call to xfs_healthmon_detach. Fixes: b3a289a2a9397b ("xfs: create event queuing, formatting, and discovery infrastructure") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
