f2fs: add global mutex_lock to protect f2fs_stat_list
There is an race condition between umounting f2fs and reading f2fs/status, which
results in oops.
Fox example:
Thread A Thread B
umount f2fs cat f2fs/status
f2fs_destroy_stats() { stat_show() {
list_for_each_entry_safe(&f2fs_stat_list)
list_del(&si->stat_list);
mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock);
si->sbi = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&si->stat_lock);
kfree(sbi->stat_info);
} mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock) <- si is gone.
...
}
Solution with a global lock: f2fs_stat_mutex:
Thread A Thread B
umount f2fs cat f2fs/status
f2fs_destroy_stats() { stat_show() {
mutex_lock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
list_del(&si->stat_list);
mutex_unlock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
kfree(sbi->stat_info); mutex_lock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
} list_for_each_entry_safe(&f2fs_stat_list)
...
mutex_unlock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
}
