io-wq: fix no lock protection of acct->nr_worker
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 3d4e4fa ]

There is an acct->nr_worker visit without lock protection. Think about
the case: two callers call io_wqe_wake_worker(), one is the original
context and the other one is an io-worker(by calling
io_wqe_enqueue(wqe, linked)), on two cpus paralelly, this may cause
nr_worker to be larger than max_worker.
Let's fix it by adding lock for it, and let's do nr_workers++ before
create_io_worker. There may be a edge cause that the first caller fails
to create an io-worker, but the second caller doesn't know it and then
quit creating io-worker as well:

say nr_worker = max_worker - 1
        cpu 0                        cpu 1
   io_wqe_wake_worker()          io_wqe_wake_worker()
      nr_worker < max_worker
      nr_worker++
      create_io_worker()         nr_worker == max_worker
         failed                  return
      return

But the chance of this case is very slim.
