SubjectWARNING in schedule_bh
Hello,

During fuzzing, I observed a few warnings in the floppy driver, which
seems similar with the one found by Syzkaller.
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=7c17d936536dc3864e5df2d79ea11cdd946f81bf).

One of the warning reports is as follow:
------------[ cut here ]------------

------------------------------------

A similar warning seems to occur in places where schedule_bh() is
called (e.g., floppy_queue_rq, floppy_interrupt, ...).

I am trying to understand why this happens. The below execution
scenario is my best guess (but different with the above call
trace). Since I don't fully understand the semantic of the floppy
driver, please execuse me if this is wrong.


fd_locked_ioctl(FDRESET) kworkerd floppy_interrupt
user_reset_fdc()
cont = &reset_cont;
wait_til_done(reset_fdc)
schedule_bh(reset_fdc)
wait_event(command_done)
reset_fdc()
do_floppy = reset_interrupt
/* triggering an interrupt
as stated in the comment */
handler = do_floppy // reset_interrupt
schedule_bh(handler)
reset_interrupt()
success_and_wakeup // reset_cont.redo
genric_success()
generic_done(1) // reset_cont.done
cont = &wakeup_cont
do_wakeup() // wakeup_cont.redo
reschedule_timeout()
cont = NULL
wake_up(command_done) // fd_locked_ioctl() can now resume

floppy_shutdown() // invoked by the above reschedule_timeout()
process_fd_request() // cont is NULL by reset_interrupt()
schedule_bh(redo_fd_request)
process_fd_request()
schedule_bh(redo_fd_request) <- WARNING


So, for me, concurrent execution of floppy_shutdown() and
fd_locked_ioctl() is suspicious. Could you please check the above
scenario is reasonable?


Best regards,
Dae R. Jeong.
