Subject: [PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible data race in lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan()
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2023 10:47:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230630024748.1035993-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)
The variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag is often protected by the lock
phba->hbalock() when is accessed. Here is an example in
lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan():
spin_lock_irq(&phba->hbalock);
phba->fcf.fcf_flag |= FCF_INIT_DISC;
spin_unlock_irq(&phba->hbalock);
However, in the same function, phba->fcf.fcf_flag is assigned with 0
without holding the lock, and thus can cause a data race:
phba->fcf.fcf_flag = 0;
To fix this possible data race, a lock and unlock pair is added when
accessing the variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag.
