From: Steffen Maier <maier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2d9a2c5f581be3991ba67fa9e7497c711220ea8e upstream. Before v4.15 commit 75492a51568b ("s390/scsi: Convert timers to use timer_setup()"), we intentionally only passed zfcp_adapter as context argument to zfcp_fsf_request_timeout_handler(). Since we only trigger adapter recovery, it was unnecessary to sync against races between timeout and (late) completion. Likewise, we only passed zfcp_erp_action as context argument to zfcp_erp_timeout_handler(). Since we only wakeup an ERP action, it was unnecessary to sync against races between timeout and (late) completion. Meanwhile the timeout handlers get timer_list as context argument and do a timer-specific container-of to zfcp_fsf_req which can have been freed. Fix it by making sure that any request timeout handlers, that might just have started before del_timer(), are completed by using del_timer_sync() instead. This ensures the request free happens afterwards. Space time diagram of potential use-after-free: Basic idea is to have 2 or more pending requests whose timeouts run out at almost the same time. req 1 timeout ERP thread req 2 timeout ---------------- ---------------- --------------------------------------- zfcp_fsf_request_timeout_handler fsf_req = from_timer(fsf_req, t, timer) adapter = fsf_req->adapter zfcp_qdio_siosl(adapter) zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen(adapter,...) zfcp_erp_strategy ... zfcp_fsf_req_dismiss_all list_for_each_entry_safe zfcp_fsf_req_complete 1 del_timer 1 zfcp_fsf_req_free 1 zfcp_fsf_req_complete 2 zfcp_fsf_request_timeout_handler del_timer 2 fsf_req = from_timer(fsf_req, t, timer) zfcp_fsf_req_free 2 adapter = fsf_req->adapter ^^^^^^^ already freed Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200813152856.50088-1-maier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 75492a51568b ("s390/scsi: Convert timers to use timer_setup()") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> #4.15+ Suggested-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steffen Maier <maier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
