From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Kiyoshi Ueda Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dm: prevent access to md being deleted Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:25:49 +0900 Message-ID: <4C0E1AAD.1050108@ct.jp.nec.com> References: <4C0E19A0.1040804@ct.jp.nec.com> Reply-To: device-mapper development Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: In-Reply-To: <4C0E19A0.1040804@ct.jp.nec.com> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com To: Alasdair Kergon Cc: device-mapper development List-Id: dm-devel.ids This patch prevents access to mapped_device which is being deleted. Currently, even after a mapped_device has been removed from the hash, it could be accessed through idr_find() using minor number. That could cause a race and NULL pointer reference below: CPU0 CPU1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ dev_remove(param) down_write(_hash_lock) dm_lock_for_deletion(md) spin_lock(_minor_lock) set_bit(DMF_DELETING) spin_unlock(_minor_lock) __hash_remove(hc) up_write(_hash_lock) dev_status(param) md = find_device(param) down_read(_hash_lock) __find_device_hash_cell(param) dm_get_md(param->dev) md = dm_find_md(dev) spin_lock(_minor_lock) md = idr_find(MINOR(dev)) spin_unlock(_minor_lock) dm_put(md) free_dev(md) dm_get(md) up_read(_hash_lock) __dev_status(md, param) dm_put(md) This patch fixes such problems.
