[PATCH] scsi: qla4xxx: Fix a potential race condition.

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

 



From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>

In the function qla4xxx_eh_abort, we should use lock protect both
kref_get() and kref_put(), because we must serialize access where a
kref_put() cannot occur during the kref_get(). Otherwise, the object
"srb" may not remain valid during the kref_get(), and a race condition
can happen.
