3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9c55ad1c214d9f8c4594ac2c3fa392c1c32431a7 upstream. ceph_con_workfn() validates con->state before calling try_read() and then try_write(). However, try_read() temporarily releases con->mutex, notably in process_message() and ceph_con_in_msg_alloc(), opening the window for ceph_con_close() to sneak in, close the connection and release con->sock. When try_write() is called on the assumption that con->state is still valid (i.e. not STANDBY or CLOSED), a NULL sock gets passed to the networking stack: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 IP: selinux_socket_sendmsg+0x5/0x20 Make sure con->state is valid at the top of try_write() and add an explicit BUG_ON for this, similar to try_read().
