When a new disk shows up, sysfs queue directory is created before elevator is registered. This allows a user to attempt a scheduler switch even though the initial registration hasn't completed yet. In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler. When cfq_registered_queue() executes it interprets e->elevator_data as struct cfq_data even though it is actually struct deadline_data. Grab q->sysfs_lock in blk_register_queue() to synchronize with sysfs callers. Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
