Subject: [PATCH V5 0/9] null_blk: fix init/exit races and memleaks
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:17:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714041805.1088702-1-wozizhi@huaweicloud.com> (raw)
From: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@huawei.com>
This series fixes several issues in null_blk around lock initialization,
memory leaks, concurrent configfs access, and module init/exit.
No functional changes to patches 1-4, 6, and 8-9.
See the individual patch descriptions for details.
Changes since v4:
- Modified patch 5 to fix the check-and-deref race on dev->zones in
zone_cond_store().
- Simplified the fix in patch 7.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260709100452.3520482-1-wozizhi@huaweicloud.com/
Changes since v3:
- Added patch 5 (zones array memleak) and patch 6 (cleanup).
- Added patch 7 (NULL-ptr-deref on shared tag_set queue shrink).
- Patch 9: reworked the fix from v3's patch 6 to take the file-scope
lock in _store instead of scattering READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260708073917.2172392-1-wozizhi@huaweicloud.com/
Changes since v2:
- Dropped the lock rename patch; the rename and locking rework will be
sent as a separate series (per Damien's suggestion).
- Patch 3: fixed the tense in the commit message.
- Patch 4: also update dev->NAME in the "!dev->nullb" path, which was
previously lost.

Changes since v1:
- Added patches 4-6, and modify the lock name in patch 2.
