Subject: [PATCH v5 04/10] lpfc: Check fc4_xpt_flags before decrementing ndlp kref on FDISC error
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:17:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928181757.21959-5-nkirkland2304@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928181757.21959-1-nkirkland2304@gmail.com>
The current initial kref count drop logic for an ndlp that fails FDISC
assumes that the ndlp has never registered with transport layer and thus
the lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk never called. However, a failed FDISC can
occur after a successful transport layer registration too. So,
lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk can occur and there is a potential use-after-free
on the ndlp.
Check ndlp->fc4_xpt_flags if previously registered with an upper layer
transport and check ndlp->nlp_flags if there is a LPFC_EVT_DEV_LOSS work
pending. If not previously registered nor LPFC_EVT_DEV_LOSS work pending,
then set the NLP_DROPPED flag as before and decrement the initial kref on
FDISC error. However, if ndlp has been previously registered, then let the
pre-existing logic for each transport's respective dev_loss_tmo_callbk
perform the initial kref decrement.
