    block: protect iterate_bdevs() against concurrent close · af309226
    Rabin Vincent authored
    If a block device is closed while iterate_bdevs() is handling it, the
    following NULL pointer dereference occurs because bdev->b_disk is NULL
    in bdev_get_queue(), which is called from blk_get_backing_dev_info() (in
    turn called by the mapping_cap_writeback_dirty() call in
    __filemap_fdatawrite_range()):

    The crash is easily reproducible by running the following command, if an
    msleep(100) is inserted before the call to func() in iterate_devs():
    
     while :; do head -c1 /dev/nullb0; done > /dev/null & while :; do sync; done
    
    Fix it by holding the bd_mutex across the func() call and only calling
    func() if the bdev is opened.
