From 7f17bfb91ff988f2fa6ee794db5170df539e7d95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harish Jenny K N <harish_kandiga@mentor.com> Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 15:41:07 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race while loading modules backport of upstream commit fd44a98ae2eb by mwilck References: bsc#998906 usecase: two sd cards are being mounted in parallel at same time on dual core. example modules which are getting loaded is nls_cp437. While one module is being loaded , it starts creating sysfs files. meanwhile on other core, modprobe might return saying the module is KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN, which might result in not mounting sd card. Experiments done to prove the issue in kmod. Added sleep in kernel module.c at the place of creation of sysfs files. Then tried `modprobe nls_cp437` from two different shells. While the first was still waiting for its completion , the second one returned saying the module is built-in. [ Lucas: The problem is that the creation of /sys/module/<name> and /sys/module/<name>/initstate are not atomic. There's a small window in which the directory exists but the initstate file was still not created. Built-in modules can be handled by searching the modules.builtin file. We actually lose some "modules" that create entries in /sys/modules (e.g. vt) and are not in modules.builtin file: only those that can be compiled as module are present in this file. We enforce mod->builtin to always be up-to-date when kmod_module_get_initstate() is called. This way if the directory exists but the initstate doesn't, we can be sure this is because the module is in the "coming" state, i.e. kernel didn't create the file yet, but since builtin modules were already handled by checking our index the only reason for that to happen is that we hit the race condition. I also added some tweaks to the patch, so we don't repeat the code for builtin lookup. ] Signed-off-by: Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.de> --- libkmod/libkmod-internal.h | 2 ++ libkmod/libkmod-module.c | 40 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- libkmod/libkmod.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 3 files changed, 57 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/libkmod/libkmod-internal.h b/libkmod/libkmod-internal.h index 93a00c1..75b1470 100644 --- a/libkmod/libkmod-internal.h +++ b/libkmod/libkmod-internal.h @@ -91,6 +91,7 @@ int kmod_lookup_alias_from_symbols_file(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name, int kmod_lookup_alias_from_aliases_file(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name, struct kmod_list **list) __attribute__((nonnull(1, 2, 3))); int kmod_lookup_alias_from_moddep_file(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name, struct kmod_list **list) __attribute__((nonnull(1, 2, 3))); int kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name, struct kmod_list **list) __attribute__((nonnull(1, 2, 3))); +bool kmod_lookup_alias_is_builtin(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name) __attribute__((nonnull(1, 2))); int kmod_lookup_alias_from_commands(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *name, struct kmod_list **list) __attribute__((nonnull(1, 2, 3))); void kmod_set_modules_visited(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, bool visited) __attribute__((nonnull((1)))); void kmod_set_modules_required(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, bool required) __attribute__((nonnull((1)))); @@ -144,6 +145,7 @@ void kmod_module_set_remove_commands(struct kmod_module *mod, const char *cmd) _ void kmod_module_set_visited(struct kmod_module *mod, bool visited) __attribute__((nonnull(1))); void kmod_module_set_builtin(struct kmod_module *mod, bool builtin) __attribute__((nonnull((1)))); void kmod_module_set_required(struct kmod_module *mod, bool required) __attribute__((nonnull(1))); +bool kmod_module_is_builtin(struct kmod_module *mod) __attribute__((nonnull(1))); /* libkmod-hash.c */ diff --git a/libkmod/libkmod-module.c b/libkmod/libkmod-module.c index 1d90f34..df926be 100644 --- a/libkmod/libkmod-module.c +++ b/libkmod/libkmod-module.c @@ -49,6 +49,12 @@ * @short_description: operate on kernel modules */ +enum kmod_module_builtin { + KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN_UNKNOWN, + KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN_NO, + KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN_YES, +}; + /** * kmod_module: * @@ -75,6 +81,13 @@ struct kmod_module { } init; /* + * mark if module is builtin, i.e. it's present on modules.builtin + * file.
