Device reset thread uses kobject_uevent_env() to get kobj.parent, and it aces with device init thread which calls device_add() to add kobj.parent before kobject_uevent_env(). Device init call: Device reset call: scsi_probe_and_add_lun() scsi_evt_thread() scsi_add_lun() scsi_evt_emit() scsi_sysfs_add_sdev() kobject_uevent_env() //get kobj.parent scsi_target_add() kobject_get_path() len = get_kobj_path_length () // len=1 because parent hasn't created yet device_add() // add kobj.parent kobject_uevent_env() kobject_get_path() path = kzalloc() fill_kobj_path() fill_kobj_path() // --length; length -= cur is a negative value memcpy(path + length, kobject_name(parent), cur); // slab OOB! Above backtrace describes the problem, device reset thread will get wrong kobj.parent when device init thread didn’t add kobj.parent yet. When this racing happened, it triggers the a KASAN dump on the final iteration: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kobject_get_path+0xf8/0x1b8 Write of size 11 at addr ffffff80d6bb94f5 by task kworker/3:1/58 <snip> Call trace: __kasan_report+0x124/0x1c8 kasan_report+0x54/0x84 kasan_check_range+0x200/0x208 memcpy+0xb8/0xf0 kobject_get_path+0xf8/0x1b8 kobject_uevent_env+0x228/0xa88 scsi_evt_thread+0x2d0/0x5b0 process_one_work+0x570/0xf94 worker_thread+0x7cc/0xf80 kthread+0x2c4/0x388 These two jobs are scheduled asynchronously, we can't guaranteed that kobj.parent will be created in device init thread before device reset thread calls kobject_get_path(). To resolve the racing issue between device init thread and device reset thread, we use wait_event() in scsi_evt_emit() to wait for device_add() to complete the creation of kobj.parent. Device init call: Device reset call: ufshcd_async_scan() scsi_evt_thread() scsi_scan_host() scsi_evt_emit() <- add wait_event() do_scsi_scan_host() <- add wake_up() scsi_scan_host_selected() scsi_scan_channel() scsi_probe_and_add_lun() scsi_target_add() device_add() // add kobj.parent kobject_uevent_env() kobject_get_path() fill_kobj_path() do_scan_async() <- wake_up() kobject_uevent_env() // add kobj.parent kobject_get_path() // get valid kobj.parent fill_kobj_path() After we add wake_up at do_scsi_scan_host() in device init thread, we can ensure that device reset thread will get kobject after device init thread finishes adding parent.
