Subject: [PATCH 3/6] nvme-auth: fix data race on ctrl->transaction
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 09:58:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106015842.3534898-4-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106015842.3534898-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com>
nvme_ctrl_auth_work() queues the DH-HMAC-CHAP exchange of every queue
on nvme-auth-wq without waiting for them, so multiple
nvme_queue_auth_work() instances run concurrently and all increment
ctrl->transaction in nvme_queue_auth_work(). The plain increment is a
data race, and the lost updates hand the same transaction id to
concurrent queues.
The controller side only echoes the transaction id within a queue, so
the race has no functional impact today, but the increment is still
unsynchronized and KCSAN reports it. Use an atomic_t.
