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.
