This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled target: Fix NULL dereference during LUN lookup + active I/O shutdown to the 4.10-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: target-fix-null-dereference-during-lun-lookup-active-i-o-shutdown.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bd4e2d2907fa23a11d46217064ecf80470ddae10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 22:06:32 -0800 Subject: target: Fix NULL dereference during LUN lookup + active I/O shutdown From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bd4e2d2907fa23a11d46217064ecf80470ddae10 upstream. When transport_clear_lun_ref() is shutting down a se_lun via configfs with new I/O in-flight, it's possible to trigger a NULL pointer dereference in transport_lookup_cmd_lun() due to the fact percpu_ref_get() doesn't do any __PERCPU_REF_DEAD checking before incrementing lun->lun_ref.count after lun->lun_ref has switched to atomic_t mode. This results in a NULL pointer dereference as LUN shutdown code in core_tpg_remove_lun() continues running after the existing ->release() -> core_tpg_lun_ref_release() callback completes, and clears the RCU protected se_lun->lun_se_dev pointer. During the OOPs, the state of lun->lun_ref in the process which triggered the NULL pointer dereference looks like the following on v4.1.y stable code: struct se_lun { lun_link_magic = 4294932337, lun_status = TRANSPORT_LUN_STATUS_FREE, ..... lun_se_dev = 0x0, lun_sep = 0x0, ..... lun_ref = { count = { counter = 1 }, percpu_count_ptr = 3, release = 0xffffffffa02fa1e0 <core_tpg_lun_ref_release>, confirm_switch = 0x0, force_atomic = false, rcu = { next = 0xffff88154fa1a5d0, func = 0xffffffff8137c4c0 <percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu> } } } To address this bug, use percpu_ref_tryget_live() to ensure once __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is visable on all CPUs and ->lun_ref has switched to atomic_t, all new I/Os will fail to obtain a new lun->lun_ref reference. Also use an explicit percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() callback to block on ->lun_ref_comp to allow the first stage and associated RCU grace period to complete, and then block on ->lun_ref_shutdown waiting for the final percpu_ref_put() to drop the last reference via transport_lun_remove_cmd() before continuing with core_tpg_remove_lun() shutdown.
