When I hotunplug a busy virtio-rng device or try to access
hwrng attributes in non-smp guest, it gets stuck.
My hotplug tests:
| test 0:
| hotunplug rng device from qemu monitor
|
| test 1:
| guest) # dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null &
| hotunplug rng device from qemu monitor
|
| test 2:
| guest) # dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null &
| hotunplug rng device from qemu monitor
|
| test 4:
| guest) # dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null &
| cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_*
|
| test 5:
| guest) # dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null
| cancel dd process after 10 seconds
| guest) # dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null &
| hotunplug rng device from qemu monitor
|
| test 6:
| use a fifo as rng backend, execute test 0 ~ 5 with no input of fifo
V5: reset cleanup_done flag, drop redundant init of reference count, use
compiler barrier to prevent recording.
V4: update patch 4 to fix corrupt, decrease last reference for triggering
the cleanup, fix unregister race pointed by Herbert
V3: initialize kref to 1
V2: added patch 2 to fix a deadlock, update current patch 3 to fix reference
counting issue
Amos Kong (1):
hw_random: move some code out mutex_lock for avoiding underlying
deadlock
Rusty Russell (5):
hw_random: place mutex around read functions and buffers.
hw_random: use reference counts on each struct hwrng.
hw_random: fix unregister race.
hw_random: don't double-check old_rng.
hw_random: don't init list element we're about to add to list.

[PATCH v5 1/6] hw_random: place mutex around read functions and buffers.
From: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au>
There's currently a big lock around everything, and it means that we
can't query sysfs (eg /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current)
while the rng is reading. This is a real problem when the rng is slow,
or blocked (eg. virtio_rng with qemu's default /dev/random backend)
This doesn't help (it leaves the current lock untouched), just adds a
lock to protect the read function and the static buffers, in preparation
for transition.

[PATCH v5 2/6] hw_random: move some code out mutex_lock for avoiding underlying deadlock
In next patch, we use reference counting for each struct hwrng,
changing reference count also needs to take mutex_lock. Before
releasing the lock, if we try to stop a kthread that waits to
take the lock to reduce the referencing count, deadlock will
occur.

[PATCH v5 3/6] hw_random: use reference counts on each struct hwrng.
From: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au>
current_rng holds one reference, and we bump it every time we want
to do a read from it.
This means we only hold the rng_mutex to grab or drop a reference,
so accessing /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current doesn't
block on read of /dev/hwrng.
Using a kref is overkill (we're always under the rng_mutex), but
a standard pattern.
This also solves the problem that the hwrng_fillfn thread was
accessing current_rng without a lock, which could change (eg. to NULL)
underneath it.
v5: drop redundant kref_init()
v4: decrease last reference for triggering the cleanup
v3: initialize kref (thanks Amos Kong)
v2: fix missing put_rng() on exit path (thanks Amos Kong)
