```
The crash occurred when call wake_up(&state->wait), and then we want
to look at the value in the state. However, bch_sectors_dirty_init()
is not found in the stack of any task. Since state is allocated on
the stack, we guess that bch_sectors_dirty_init() has exited, causing
bch_dirty_init_thread() to be unable to handle kernel paging request.
In order to verify this idea, we added some printing information during
wake_up(&state->wait). We find that "wake up" is printed twice, however
we only expect the last thread to wake up once.
```dmesg
[ 994.641004] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[ 994.641018] alcache: bch_dirty_init_thread() wake up
[ 994.641523] alcache: bch_sectors_dirty_init() init exit
```
There is a race. If bch_sectors_dirty_init() exits after the first wake
up, the second wake up will trigger this bug("unable to handle kernel
paging request").
Proceed as follows:
bch_sectors_dirty_init
kthread_run ==============> bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[0])
... ...
atomic_inc(&state.started) ...
... ...
atomic_read(&state.enough) ...
... atomic_set(&state->enough, 1)
kthread_run ======================================================> bch_dirty_init_thread(bch_dirtcnt[1])
... atomic_dec_and_test(&state->started) ...
atomic_inc(&state.started) ... ...
... wake_up(&state->wait) ...
atomic_read(&state.enough) atomic_dec_and_test(&state->started)
... ...
wait_event(state.wait, atomic_read(&state.started) == 0) ...
return ...
wake_up(&state->wait)
We believe it is very common to wake up twice if there is no dirty, but
crash is an extremely low probability event. It's hard for us to reproduce
this issue. We attached and detached continuously for a week, with a total
of more than one million attaches and only one crash.
Putting atomic_inc(&state.started) before kthread_run() can avoid waking
up twice.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
