[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible data race in lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan()

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

 



The variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag is often protected by the lock 
phba->hbalock() when is accessed. Here is an example in 
lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan():

  spin_lock_irq(&phba->hbalock);
  phba->fcf.fcf_flag |= FCF_INIT_DISC;
  spin_unlock_irq(&phba->hbalock);

However, in the same function, phba->fcf.fcf_flag is assigned with 0 
without holding the lock, and thus can cause a data race:

  phba->fcf.fcf_flag = 0;

To fix this possible data race, a lock and unlock pair is added when 
accessing the variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag.
