Recovery participant records must remain alive while debug_state_print()
walks reco.node_data and formats their fields. The formatter holds
dlm->spinlock, but dlm_destroy_recovery_area() detaches the list under
dlm_reco_state_lock and frees the records without taking dlm->spinlock.
When a recovery master finishes recovering a dead node, a concurrent
open of the domain's dlm_state file can reach the participant list after
the master's last dlm->spinlock section. The following ordering is
possible:
Debugfs open Recovery thread
debug_state_print()
lock dlm->spinlock
select participant
dlm_destroy_recovery_area()
lock dlm_reco_state_lock
detach participant list
unlock dlm_reco_state_lock
kfree(participant)
read node->state/node_num
unlock dlm->spinlock
The field read or the next list iteration then accesses freed memory.
Debugfs removal protects the domain lifetime, but session completion
leaves the file installed, so it does not drain this open callback.
Take dlm->spinlock around the existing locked list detachment. A debug
reader must now finish before detachment, and later readers see an empty
list. Keep the frees outside both locks. This also covers cleanup after
partial allocation failure in dlm_init_recovery_area().
