Subject: [PATCH 5.10] net/smc: fix potential panic dues to unprotected smc_llc_srv_add_link()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 12:05:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901090545.10419-1-arefev@swemel.ru> (raw)
From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>
commit e40b801b3603a8f90b46acbacdea3505c27f01c0 upstream.
There is a certain chance to trigger the following panic:

The reason here is that when the server tries to create a second link,
smc_llc_srv_add_link() has no protection and may add a new link to
link group. This breaks the security environment protected by
llc_conf_mutex.

[Denis Arefev: adapted for 5.10: smc_llc_srv_add_link() has no
req_qentry argument here, as SMC-Rv2 REQ_ADD_LINK support is
not present in 5.10]
