Subject: [PATCH] scsi: message: fusion: Fix a possible data race in mpt_ioc_reset()
Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2023 10:53:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230715025306.164847-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)

The variable ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io is often protected by the lock
ioc->taskmgmt_lock when is accessed. Here is an example in 
mpt_SoftResetHandler():

  spin_lock_irqsave(&ioc->taskmgmt_lock, flags);
  ...
  ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io = 0;
  ...
  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ioc->taskmgmt_lock, flags);

However, ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io is set to 1 without holding the lock
ioc->taskmgmt_lock in mpt_ioc_reset():

  case MPT_IOC_SETUP_RESET:
    ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io = 1;

In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because the value of 
ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io can be rewritten by mpt_ioc_reset() when another
thread is accessing it.

To fix this possible data race, a lock and unlock pair is added when
accessing the variable ioc->taskmgmt_quiesce_io.
