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.
