[PATCH] drivers/scsi: possible double spin_lock_irqsave

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

 



From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

If both the test on rport and the call to get_device fail, then the lock is
already held.  The re-lock is thus moved up into the two branches.

On the other hand if kref_put should not be called with the lock held then
something else should be done.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression lock1,lock2;
expression flags;
@@

*spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags)
... when != flags
*spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags)
// </smpl>
