Subject: [PATCH 05/26] netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:45:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326104544.509518-6-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326104544.509518-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read
request will get abandoned during retry. The abandonment process expects
the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but
it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the
first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on
later passes).
Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first
subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned
out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set).
Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable
subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.
