block: fix refcounting in BLKBSZSET
Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to be triggered. The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error. The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior of blkdev_get(). This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29202 (and likely 29792 too) Reported-by: Adam Kovari <kovariadam@gmail.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
