Subject: [PATCH 4/6] nvmet: take subsys->lock in nvmet_subsys_attr_tbkas_store()
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 09:58:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106015842.3534898-5-kanie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106015842.3534898-1-kanie@linux.alibaba.com>
The tbkas store handler walks subsys->ctrls to force every controller
to reconnect, but it holds only nvmet_config_sem for write.
subsys->ctrls is protected by subsys->lock: nvmet_alloc_ctrl() adds an
entry under subsys->lock, and nvmet_ctrl_free() removes it under
subsys->lock with list_del() + kfree(). A concurrent controller
teardown can therefore corrupt the walk.
This is the same bug fixed for nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_store() in
commit 9f426f140511 ("nvmet: take subsys->lock while
force-reconnecting in nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_store()"), which
missed this second instance of the pattern. Take subsys->lock around
the list_for_each_entry() loop. ->delete_ctrl() only queues
asynchronous controller teardown, so it does not re-enter subsys->lock
under the loop.
Fixes: e98e45e9465b ("nvmet: Add traffic based keep alive support to configfs")
