Re: [PATCH scsi-misc-2.6 03/04] scsi: remove a timer race in scsi_queue_insert()

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

 



03_scsi_timer_dispatch_race_fix.patch

	scsi_queue_insert() has four callers.  Three callers call with
	timer disabled and one (the second invocation in
	scsi_dispatch_cmd()) calls with timer activated.
	scsi_queue_insert() used to always call scsi_delete_timer()
	and ignore the return value.  This results in race with timer
	expiration.  Remove scsi_delete_timer() call from
	scsi_queue_insert() and make the caller delete timer and check
	the return value.
