With four threads doing the same thing on a KASAN kernel I get both crashes within a second: BUG: KASAN: double-free in o2hb_unmap_slot_data+0x14d/0x2f0 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000158 Add a mutex to the region and hold it in dev_store(), in the block_bytes, start_block and blocks stores, and in dev_show(), since they all look at hr_bdev_file. dev_store() cleans up with goto, so it takes the mutex in a small wrapper rather than with guard(). It sleeps with the mutex held while it waits for the heartbeat thread. That is fine because neither the thread nor the teardown paths take it. With the patch the same test ran for 10 minutes with lockdep on and nothing was reported. Fixes: a7f6a5fb4bde ("[PATCH] OCFS2: The Second Oracle Cluster Filesystem") Reported-by: syzbot+5d4e96acd0febccb5e87@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=5d4e96acd0febccb5e87 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eklavya Singh --- v2: take the mutex in a wrapper around dev_store() instead of with guard(), since dev_store() uses goto for its cleanup.
