[patch V3 01/20] PCI/switchtec: Fix init_completion race condition with poll_wait()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The call to init_completion() in mrpc_queue_cmd() can theoretically
race with the call to poll_wait() in switchtec_dev_poll().

  poll()			write()
    switchtec_dev_poll()   	  switchtec_dev_write()
      poll_wait(&s->comp.wait);      mrpc_queue_cmd()
			               init_completion(&s->comp)
				         init_waitqueue_head(&s->comp.wait)

To my knowledge, no one has hit this bug.

Fix this by using reinit_completion() instead of init_completion() in
mrpc_queue_cmd().
