[PATCH] scsi: fix iscsi rescan fails to create block

From: Zhong Jinghua
Date: Mon Jan 16 2023 - 21:55:40 EST


When the three iscsi operations delete, logout, and rescan are concurrent
at the same time, there is a probability of failure to add disk through
device_add_disk(). The concurrent process is as follows:

T0: scan host // echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/host1/scsi_host/host1/scan
T1: delete target // echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/host1/session1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:1/delete
T2: logout // iscsiadm -m node --login
T3: T2 scsi_queue_work
T4: T0 bus_probe_device

T0 T1 T2 T3
scsi_scan_target
mutex_lock(&shost->scan_mutex);
__scsi_scan_target
scsi_report_lun_scan
scsi_add_lun
scsi_sysfs_add_sdev
device_add
kobject_add
//create session1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:1/
...
bus_probe_device
// Create block asynchronously
mutex_unlock(&shost->scan_mutex);
sdev_store_delete
scsi_remove_device
device_remove_file
mutex_lock(scan_mutex)
__scsi_remove_device
res = scsi_device_set_state(sdev, SDEV_CANCEL)
iscsi_if_recv_msg
scsi_queue_work
__iscsi_unbind_session
session->target_id = ISCSI_MAX_TARGET
__scsi_remove_target
sdev->sdev_state == SDEV_CANCEL
continue;
// end, No delete kobject 1:0:0:1
iscsi_if_recv_msg
transport->destroy_session(session)
__iscsi_destroy_session
iscsi_session_teardown
iscsi_remove_session
__iscsi_unbind_session
iscsi_session_event
device_del
// delete session
T4:
// create the block, its parent is 1:0:0:1
// If kobject 1:0:0:1 does not exist, it won't go down
__device_attach_async_helper
device_lock
...
__device_attach_driver
driver_probe_device
really_probe
sd_probe
device_add_disk
register_disk
device_add
// error

The block is created after the seesion is deleted.
When T2 deletes the session, it will mark block'parent 1:0:01 as unusable:
T2
device_del
kobject_del
sysfs_remove_dir
__kernfs_remove
// Mark the children under the session as unusable
while ((pos = kernfs_next_descendant_post(pos, kn)))
if (kernfs_active(pos))
atomic_add(KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, &pos->active);

Then, create the block:
T4
device_add
kobject_add
kobject_add_varg
kobject_add_internal
create_dir
sysfs_create_dir_ns
kernfs_create_dir_ns
kernfs_add_one
if ((parent->flags & KERNFS_ACTIVATED) && !kernfs_active(parent))
goto out_unlock;
// return error

This error will cause a warning:
kobject_add_internal failed for block (error: -2 parent: 1:0:0:1).
In the lower version (such as 5.10), there is no corresponding error handling, continuing
to go down will trigger a kernel panic, so cc stable.

Therefore, creating the block should not be done after deleting the session.
More practically, we should ensure that the target under the session is deleted first,
and then the session is deleted. In this way, there are two possibilities:

1) if the process(T1) of deleting the target execute first, it will grab the device_lock(),
and the process(T4) of creating the block will wait for the deletion to complete.
Then, block's parent 1:0:0:1 has been deleted, it won't go down.

2) if the process(T4) of creating block execute first, it will grab the device_lock(),
and the process(T1) of deleting the target will wait for the creation block to complete.
Then, the process(T2) of deleting the session should need wait for the deletion to complete.

Fix it by removing the judgment of state equal to SDEV_CANCEL in
__scsi_remove_target() to ensure the order of deletion. Then, it will wait for
T1's mutex_lock(scan_mutex) and device_del() in __scsi_remove_device() will wait for
T4's device_lock(dev).
But we found that such a fix would cause the previous problem:
commit 81b6c9998979 ("scsi: core: check for device state in __scsi_remove_target()").
So we use scsi_device_try_get() instead of get_devcie() to fix the previous problem.

Fixes: 81b6c9998979 ("scsi: core: check for device state in __scsi_remove_target()")
