Subject: [PATCH] dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 23:11:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220212071111.148575-1-ztong0001@gmail.com> (raw)

A bug can be triggered by following command

$ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem

[   10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
[   10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node)
[   10.062433] Call Trace:
[   10.062673]  dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44
[   10.062865]  slab_err+0x90/0xd0
[   10.063619]  __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x13b/0x2f0
[   10.063848]  kmem_cache_destroy+0x4a/0x110
[   10.064058]  __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300

This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache.
To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.
