From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 93dc41bdc5c853916610576c6b48a1704959c70d upstream. We have one report of a crash in xs_tcp_setup_socket. The call path to the crash is: xs_tcp_setup_socket -> inet_stream_connect -> lock_sock_nested. The 'sock' passed to that last function is NULL. The only way I can see this happening is a concurrent call to xs_close: xs_close -> xs_reset_transport -> sock_release -> inet_release inet_release sets: sock->sk = NULL; inet_stream_connect calls lock_sock(sock->sk); which gets NULL. All calls to xs_close are protected by XPRT_LOCKED as are most activations of the workqueue which runs xs_tcp_setup_socket. The exception is xs_tcp_schedule_linger_timeout. So presumably the timeout queued by the later fires exactly when some other code runs xs_close(). To protect against this we can move the cancel_delayed_work_sync() call from xs_destory() to xs_close(). As xs_close is never called from the worker scheduled on ->connect_worker, this can never deadlock.
