This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/rtrs-clt: destroy sysfs after removing session from active list to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rdma-rtrs-clt-destroy-sysfs-after-removing-session-f.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 432ac735a83e056e92a2273b9f24efed85ae5138 Author: Gioh Kim <gi-oh.kim@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 12 10:40:02 2021 +0200 RDMA/rtrs-clt: destroy sysfs after removing session from active list [ Upstream commit 7f4a8592ff29f19c5a2ca549d0973821319afaad ] A session can be removed dynamically by sysfs interface "remove_path" that eventually calls rtrs_clt_remove_path_from_sysfs function. The current rtrs_clt_remove_path_from_sysfs first removes the sysfs interfaces and frees sess->stats object. Second it removes the session from the active list. Therefore some functions could access non-connected session and access the freed sess->stats object even-if they check the session status before accessing the session. For instance rtrs_clt_request and get_next_path_min_inflight check the session status and try to send IO to the session. The session status could be changed when they are trying to send IO but they could not catch the change and update the statistics information in sess->stats object, and generate use-after-free problem. (see: "RDMA/rtrs-clt: Check state of the rtrs_clt_sess before reading its stats") This patch changes the rtrs_clt_remove_path_from_sysfs to remove the session from the active session list and then destroy the sysfs interfaces. Each function still should check the session status because closing or error recovery paths can change the status.
