[PATCH 08/16] libfc: Fix a race in fc_exch_timer_set_locked()

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

 



From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>

It is allowed to pass a zero timeout value to fc_seq_exch_abort().
Avoid that this can cause the timeout function to drop the exchange
reference before it has been increased by fc_exch_timer_set_locked().
This patch fixes a crash when running FCoE target code with poisoning
enabled in the memory allocator.
