[PATCH] scsi: megaraid: Fix potential deadlock on &adapter->lock

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

 



As &adapter->lock is acquired by megaraid_isr_iomapped() under irq context,
process context code acquiring the lock should disable irq, otherwise
deadlock could happen if the irq preempt the execution while the
lock is held in process context on the same CPU.

Lock acquisition of &adapter->lock in megaraid_reset_handler() does not 
disable irq. Inside the function there is a calling sequence shows like 
the below where irq is re-enabled by spin_unlock_irqrestore() on
PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter).

  spin_lock_irqsave(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags);
  ...
  spin_unlock_irqrestore(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags);

  spin_lock(&adapter->lock)
  ...
  spin_unlock(&adapter->lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing
for irq-related deadlock.

The patch fix the potential deadlock by also use spin_lock_irqsave() on
&adapter->lock.
