This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-next branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 9b046013e5837f8a58453d1e9f8e01d03adb7fe7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Eremin <dmitry.eremin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:51:04 +0300 Subject: staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct kib_conn The logic of the original commit 4d99b2581eff ("staging: lustre: avoid intensive reconnecting for ko2iblnd") was assumed conditional free of struct kib_conn if the second argument free_conn in function kiblnd_destroy_conn(struct kib_conn *conn, bool free_conn) is true. But this hunk of code was dropped from original commit. As result the logic works wrong and current code use struct kib_conn after free. > drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c > 3317 kiblnd_destroy_conn(conn, !peer); > ^^^^ Freed always (but should be conditionally) > 3318 > 3319 spin_lock_irqsave(lock, flags); > 3320 if (!peer) > 3321 continue; > 3322 > 3323 conn->ibc_peer = peer; > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use after free > 3324 if (peer->ibp_reconnected < KIB_RECONN_HIGH_RACE) > 3325 list_add_tail(&conn->ibc_list, > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use after free > 3326 &kiblnd_data.kib_reconn_list); > 3327 else > 3328 list_add_tail(&conn->ibc_list, > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use after free > 3329 &kiblnd_data.kib_reconn_wait); To avoid confusion this fix moved the freeing a struct kib_conn outside of the function kiblnd_destroy_conn() and free as it was intended in original commit.
