Subject: [PATCH] zloop: remove the device ID after del_gendisk()
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 11:06:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106160638.2385495-1-lcy8047@gmail.com> (raw)

zloop_ctl_remove() removes the device ID from zloop_index_idr before
del_gendisk() removes the "zloop<N>" disk from sysfs. An "add" request
issued in between can get the same ID, and its add_disk() fails:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/block/zloop0'
  ...
  zloop: add_disk failed (err=-17)

Remove the ID after del_gendisk() and before put_disk() frees the
device. Until then, an "add" requesting the same ID fails with -EEXIST,
and another "remove" fails with -EINVAL from the existing Zlo_deleting
check.

Fixes: eb0570c7df23 ("block: new zoned loop block device driver")

Notes:
    Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.
    
    Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with two threads that each write
    "add id=0,..." and then "remove id=0" to /dev/zloop-control in a loop
    for 20 seconds, with the zone files on tmpfs. Without this patch,
    add_disk() failed 2126 times with the error above. With it, add_disk()
    never failed, and the requests that overlapped a deletion got -EEXIST
    ("add") or -EINVAL ("remove").
