Subject: Re: [PATCH] SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 09:09:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mqdlhd93wfa.fsf@c203.arch.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1508171059320.1706-100000@iolanthe.rowland.org> (Alan Stern's message of "Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:02:42 -0400 (EDT)")

Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> writes:

> The routines in scsi_rpm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is
> invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver 
> has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by
> calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev).

> However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses

> userspace can override this setting.  If this happens, the kernel gets
> a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use
> the uninitialized q->dev pointer.

> This patch fixes the problem by calling the block layer's runtime-PM
> routines only if the device's driver really does have a runtime-PM
> callback routine.  Since ses doesn't define any such callbacks, the
> crash won't occur.

> This fixes Bugzilla #101371.
