From: Quinn Tran <qutran@xxxxxxxxxxx> For any qla2xxx async command, the SRB buffer is used to send it. In setting up the SRB buffer, the timer for this command is started before all memory allocation has finished. Under low memory pressure, memory alloc can go to sleep and not wake up before the timer expires. Once timer has expired, the timer thread will access uninitialize fields resulting into NULL pointer crash. This patch fixes this crash by moving the start of timer after everything is setup. backtrace shows following PID: 3720 TASK: ffff996928401040 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "qla2xxx_1_dpc" 0 [ffff99652751b698] __schedule at ffffffff965676c7 1 [ffff99652751b728] schedule at ffffffff96567bc9 2 [ffff99652751b738] schedule_timeout at ffffffff965655e8 3 [ffff99652751b7e0] io_schedule_timeout at ffffffff9656726d 4 [ffff99652751b810] congestion_wait at ffffffff95fd8d12 5 [ffff99652751b870] isolate_migratepages_range at ffffffff95fddaf3 6 [ffff99652751b930] compact_zone at ffffffff95fdde96 7 [ffff99652751b980] compact_zone_order at ffffffff95fde0bc 8 [ffff99652751ba20] try_to_compact_pages at ffffffff95fde481 9 [ffff99652751ba80] __alloc_pages_direct_compact at ffffffff9655cc31 10 [ffff99652751bae0] __alloc_pages_slowpath at ffffffff9655d101 11 [ffff99652751bbd0] __alloc_pages_nodemask at ffffffff95fc0e95 12 [ffff99652751bc80] dma_generic_alloc_coherent at ffffffff95e3217f 13 [ffff99652751bcc8] x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent at ffffffff95e6b7a1 14 [ffff99652751bcf8] qla2x00_rft_id at ffffffffc055b5e0 [qla2xxx] 15 [ffff99652751bd50] qla2x00_loop_resync at ffffffffc0533e71 [qla2xxx] 16 [ffff99652751be68] qla2x00_do_dpc at ffffffffc05210ca [qla2xxx] PID: 0 TASK: ffffffff96a18480 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "swapper/0" 0 [ffff99652fc03ae0] machine_kexec at ffffffff95e63674 1 [ffff99652fc03b40] __crash_kexec at ffffffff95f1ce12 2 [ffff99652fc03c10] crash_kexec at ffffffff95f1cf00 3 [ffff99652fc03c28] oops_end at ffffffff9656c758 4 [ffff99652fc03c50] no_context at ffffffff9655aa7e 5 [ffff99652fc03ca0] __bad_area_nosemaphore at ffffffff9655ab15 6 [ffff99652fc03cf0] bad_area_nosemaphore at ffffffff9655ac86 7 [ffff99652fc03d00] __do_page_fault at ffffffff9656f6b0 8 [ffff99652fc03d70] do_page_fault at ffffffff9656f915 9 [ffff99652fc03da0] page_fault at ffffffff9656b758 [exception RIP: unknown or invalid address] RIP: 0000000000000000 RSP: ffff99652fc03e50 RFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff99652b79a600 RCX: ffff99652b79a760 RDX: ffff99652b79a600 RSI: ffffffffc0525ad0 RDI: ffff99652b79a600 RBP: ffff99652fc03e60 R8: ffffffff96a18a18 R9: ffffffff96ee3c00 R10: 0000000000000002 R11: ffff99652fc03de8 R12: ffff99652b79a760 R13: 0000000000000100 R14: ffffffffc0525ad0 R15: ffff99652b79a600 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 10 [ffff99652fc03e50] qla2x00_sp_timeout at ffffffffc0525af8 [qla2xxx] 11 [ffff99652fc03e68] call_timer_fn at ffffffff95ea7f58 12 [ffff99652fc03ea0] run_timer_softirq at ffffffff95eaa3bd 13 [ffff99652fc03f18] __do_softirq at ffffffff95ea0f05 14 [ffff99652fc03f88] call_softirq at ffffffff9657832c 15 [ffff99652fc03fa0] do_softirq at ffffffff95e2e675 16 [ffff99652fc03fc0] irq_exit at ffffffff95ea1285 17 [ffff99652fc03fd8] smp_apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffff965796c8 18 [ffff99652fc03ff0] apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffff96575df2 Signed-off-by: Quinn Tran <qutran@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Himanshu Madhani <hmadhani@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h | 1 + drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h index d3d624d43ec3..b91ef7b75e8d 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h +++ b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h @@ -537,6 +537,7 @@ typedef struct srb { wait_queue_head_t nvme_ls_waitq; struct fc_port *fcport; struct scsi_qla_host *vha; + unsigned int start_timer:1; uint32_t handle; uint16_t flags; uint16_t type; diff --git a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c index 9312b19ed708..1886de92034c 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c @@ -2540,7 +2540,7 @@ void qla2x00_init_timer(srb_t *sp, unsigned long tmo) sp->free = qla2x00_sp_free; if (IS_QLAFX00(sp->vha->hw) && sp->type == SRB_FXIOCB_DCMD) init_completion(&sp->u.iocb_cmd.u.fxiocb.fxiocb_comp); - add_timer(&sp->u.iocb_cmd.timer); + sp->start_timer = 1; } static void @@ -3668,6 +3668,9 @@ qla2x00_start_sp(srb_t *sp) break; } + if (sp->start_timer) + add_timer(&sp->u.iocb_cmd.timer); + wmb(); qla2x00_start_iocbs(vha, qp->req); done: -- 2.12.0
