The cause of stall turned out to be ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CHANGE_FD, loop_fd).

But we haven't explained the cause of NULL pointer dereference which can
occur when raced with ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD). Therefore,

Using sleep injection patch and reproducer shown below, I can reproduce
the crashes. It is a race between ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0) versus
ioctl(other_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, loop_fd).

Unless we hold corresponding lo->lo_ctl_mutex (or keep corresponding
lo->lo_refcnt elevated) when traversing other loop devices,
"/* Avoid recursion */" loop from loop_set_fd()/loop_change_fd() will
suffer from races by loop_clr_fd().

So, it is time to think how to solve this race condition, as well as how to solve
lockdep's deadlock warning (and I guess that syzbot is actually hitting deadlocks).
An approach which serializes loop operations using global lock was proposed at
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/syzkaller-bugs/2Rw8-OM6IbM/PzdobV8kAgAJ .

I'm looking at your patch which you proposed on this, and the locking
architecture still looks way too complex. Things like
loop_mutex_owner, and all of the infrastructure around
lo->ioctl_in_progress should be removed, if at all possible.

I believe it should be possible to do things with a single global
mutex, some code refactoring, and some unlocked versions of some of
the functions.

Again, this requires root, and it requires someone deliberately trying
to induce a race. So "it's time" is not necessarily the priority I
would set for this item. But if we are going to fix it, let's fix it
right, and not make the code more complex and less maintainable, all
in the name of trying to make a rare, not-likely-to-happen-in-real-life
syzbot reported problem to go away.

Cheers,

- Ted

The patch in the above link no longer uses "lo->ioctl_in_progress".
You looked at previous version rather than current version.

The patch in the above link uses single global mutex "loop_mutex".

While NULL pointer dereference would be rare, deadlocks might not be rare
enough to postpone the patch. Deadlocks can cause pile of false-positive
hung task reports and can prevent syzbot from finding other bugs. That's
why I say "it is time to think".
