[PATCH 3.8 099/152] SUNRPC: Avoid deep recursion in rpc_release_client

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.8.13.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d07ba8422f1e58be94cc98a1f475946dc1b89f1b upstream.

In cases where an rpc client has a parent hierarchy, then
rpc_free_client may end up calling rpc_release_client() on the
parent, thus recursing back into rpc_free_client. If the hierarchy
is deep enough, then we can get into situations where the stack
simply overflows.

The fix is to have rpc_release_client() loop so that it can take
care of the parent rpc client hierarchy without needing to
recurse.
