blk-mq: fix sysfs registration/unregistration race
There is a race between cpu hotplug handling and adding/deleting gendisk for blk-mq, where both are trying to register and unregister the same sysfs entries. null_add_dev --> blk_mq_init_queue --> blk_mq_init_allocated_queue --> add to 'all_q_list' (*) --> add_disk --> blk_register_queue --> blk_mq_register_disk (++) null_del_dev --> del_gendisk --> blk_unregister_queue --> blk_mq_unregister_disk (--) --> blk_cleanup_queue --> blk_mq_free_queue --> del from 'all_q_list' (*) blk_mq_queue_reinit --> blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) --> blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) While the request queue is added to 'all_q_list' (*), blk_mq_queue_reinit() can be called for the queue anytime by CPU hotplug callback. But blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) and blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) in blk_mq_queue_reinit must not be called before blk_mq_register_disk (++) and after blk_mq_unregister_disk (--) is finished. Because '/sys/block/*/mq/' is not exists. There has already been BLK_MQ_F_SYSFS_UP flag in hctx->flags which can be used to track these sysfs stuff, but it is only fixing this issue partially. In order to fix it completely, we just need per-queue flag instead of per-hctx flag with appropriate locking. So this introduces q->mq_sysfs_init_done which is properly protected with all_q_mutex. Also, we need to ensure that blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called with all_q_mutex is held. Since hctx->nr_ctx is reset temporarily and updated in blk_mq_map_swqueue(), so we should avoid blk_mq_register_hctx() seeing the temporary hctx->nr_ctx value in CPU hotplug handling or adding/deleting gendisk .
