Subject: [PATCH] ibmvfc: Protect vhost->task_set increment by the host lock
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:09:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1600286999-22059-1-git-send-email-brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In the discovery thread, ibmvfc does a vhost->task_set++ without
any lock held. This could result in two targets getting the same
cancel key, which could have strange effects in error recovery.
The actual probability of this occurring should be extremely
small, since this should all be done in a single threaded loop
from the discovery thread, but let's fix it up anyway to be safe.
