block: fix race between switching elevator and removing queues
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
cecf5d8 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to
release & actuire sysfs_lock again during switching elevator. So it
isn't enough to prevent switching elevator from happening by simply
clearing QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with holding sysfs_lock, because
in-progress switch still can move on after re-acquiring the lock,
meantime the flag of QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED won't get checked.

Fixes this issue by checking 'q->elevator' directly & locklessly after
q->kobj is removed in blk_unregister_queue(), this way is safe because
q->elevator can't be changed at that time.

Fixes: cecf5d8 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks")
