[PATCH 2/2] sg: fix races with ioctl(SG_IO) (v2)

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

 



sg_io_owned needs to be set before the command is sent to the midlevel;
otherwise, a quickly-completing command may cause a different CPU
to see "srp->done == 1 && !srp->sg_io_owned", which would lead to
incorrect behavior.

Check srp->done and set srp->orphan while holding rq_list_lock to
prevent races with sg_rq_end_io().

There is no need to check sfp->closed from read/write/ioctl/poll/etc.
since the kernel guarantees that this won't happen.

The usefulness of sg_srp_done() was questionable before; now it is
definitely not needed.

Compared to the previous version of this patch, this version removes
sg_srp_done() and the unnecessary check for sfp->closed.
