Subject: locking issue in vhost_net_set_backend
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:58:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B9F8E7F.7070709@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Stanse found a locking problem in the following function:
static long vhost_net_set_backend(struct vhost_net *n, unsigned index,
int fd)
{
struct socket *sock, *oldsock;
struct vhost_virtqueue *vq;
int r;
mutex_lock(&n->dev.mutex);
r = vhost_dev_check_owner(&n->dev);
if (r)
goto err;
if (index >= VHOST_NET_VQ_MAX) {
r = -ENOBUFS;
goto err;
}
vq = n->vqs + index;
mutex_lock(&vq->mutex); <--- locked
/* Verify that ring has been setup correctly. */
if (!vhost_vq_access_ok(vq)) {
r = -EFAULT;
goto err; <--- not unlocked
}
sock = get_socket(fd);
if (IS_ERR(sock)) {
r = PTR_ERR(sock);
goto err; <--- not unlocked
}
/* start polling new socket */
oldsock = vq->private_data;
if (sock == oldsock)
goto done; <--- not unlocked
vhost_net_disable_vq(n, vq);
rcu_assign_pointer(vq->private_data, sock);
vhost_net_enable_vq(n, vq);
mutex_unlock(&vq->mutex);
done:
if (oldsock) {
vhost_net_flush_vq(n, index);
fput(oldsock->file);
}
err:
mutex_unlock(&n->dev.mutex);
return r;
}
I don't see how the lock is unlocked on the error paths and as it is not
on none of the them maybe I'm missing something?
thanks,
