Heartbeat regions publish struct o2hb_region as the private data for the
NEGO_TIMEOUT and NEGO_APPROVE o2net handlers as soon as make_item()
creates the configfs region. The approve handler can call
o2hb_arm_timeout(), so a peer can touch the region timeout work before
dev_store() has finished building the heartbeat runtime, or after teardown
has started to shut that runtime back down.
The final configfs put also has to keep reg alive until the last in-flight
o2net callback drops its handler reference.
o2net_unregister_handler_list() blocks future handler lookups, but it does
not wait for sc_rx_work that already passed o2net_handler_get(). That
drain needs to cover local listener teardown as well, where the o2net
ordered workqueue may already be inside destroy_workqueue().
Fix the lifetime rule in both directions. Initialize the region delayed
works before publishing reg through the o2net handler table, keep new or
stopping regions non-armable with hr_stopping, and quiesce both delayed
works on failed-start and teardown paths even when no heartbeat thread is
left to call o2hb_disarm_timeout(). Then unregister handlers before
tearing down handler-visible region state and make the drain wait for the
active or destroying o2net ordered workqueue before release frees reg.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
region lifecycle: late negotiate callback:
1. make_item() registers the 1. o2net_process_message() gets a
region handlers before heartbeat handler for reg.
dev_store() has built a 2. The callback runs after the lookup
runnable heartbeat context. lock is dropped and dereferences reg.
2. A failed start or rmdir 3. An approve or timeout path tries to
stops the heartbeat thread, queue reg's delayed work, or release
quiesces existing work, and races the callback body after handler
drops the final configfs ref. unregister.
3. region_release() must drain 4. The callback or delayed work can
handler-visible o2net rx work outlive reg unless lifecycle code
before freeing reg. keeps the region non-armable and
drains the active-or-destroying
o2net workqueue.
