AFSPrimaryVolumeWorkerThread() holds VolumeCB->VolumeLock SHARED
across the call to AFSCleanupFcb() -> CcPurgeCacheSection().
If a filter driver such as Sophos (savonaccessfilter.sys ->
savonaccesscontrol.sys) triggers an AFSCreate() in response to
the cache section being purged that will force the evaluation of
the file path by AFSLocateNameEntry(). If the path contains a
mount point that requires validation, AFSBuildMountPointTarget()
is called which in turn required the VolumeCB->VolumeLock EXCL.
AFSBuildMountPointTarget() only requires the VolumeCB->VolumeLock
if the VolumeCB->RootFcb == NULL. That should only be true if
the VolumeCB was allocated by AFSInitVolume() or under very rare
race conditions.
This patchset refactors AFSInitVolume() to ensure that it holds
an extra VolumeCB->VolumeReferenceCount reference. This reference
is used to assist in the refactoring of AFSBuildRootVolume() and
AFSBuildMountPointTarget() to avoid races with volume root object
invalidation as well as permitting the VolumeCB->VolumeLock to
be ignored in the common case.
Avoiding the acquisition of VolumeCB->VolumeLock during mount
point target evaluation has the additional benefit of reducing
lock contention during path evaluation.
