Subject: [PATCH 6/6] cxlflash: Fix context reference tracking on detach
Date: Fri,  2 Sep 2016 15:40:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472848841-65216-1-git-send-email-ukrishn@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1472848612-64888-1-git-send-email-ukrishn@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Matthew R. Ochs" <mrochs@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Commit 888baf069f49 ("scsi: cxlflash: Add kref to context") introduced a
kref to the context. In particular, the detach routine was updated to use
the kref services for managing the removal and destruction of a context.

As part of this change, the tracking mechanism internal to the detach
handler was refactored. This introduced a bug that can cause the tracking
state to be lost. This can lead to a situation where exclusive access to a
context is prematurely [and unknowingly] relinquished for the executing
thread.

To remedy, only update the tracking state when the kref operation indicates
the context was removed.

Fixes: 888baf069f49 ("scsi: cxlflash: Add kref to context")
