Subject: [PATCH][NETFILTER]: Fix race between clusterip_config_find_get and _entry_put.
Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:44:18 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48009282.9040808@openvz.org> (raw)
Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries"
count == 1, and on the other CPU there's a clusterip_config_find_get
in progress:
CPU1: CPU2:
clusterip_config_entry_put: clusterip_config_find_get:
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&c->entries)) {
/* true */
read_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
c = __clusterip_config_find(clusterip);
/* found - it's still in list */
...
atomic_inc(&c->entries);
read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
list_del(&c->list);
write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
...
dev_put(c->dev);
Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get,
which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer.
The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it
will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and
will put a stale dev pointer.
The fix is to make atomic_dec_and_test under the clusterip_lock.
