From: Andy Grover <agrover@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 2c42be2dd4f6586728dba5c4e197afd5cfaded78 upstream. ft_del_tpg checks tpg->tport is set before unlinking the tpg from the tport when the tpg is being removed. Set this pointer in ft_tport_create, or the unlinking won't happen in ft_del_tpg and tport->tpg will reference a deleted object. This patch sets tpg->tport in ft_tport_create, because that's what ft_del_tpg checks, and is the only way to get back to the tport to clear tport->tpg. The bug was occuring when: - lport created, tport (our per-lport, per-provider context) is allocated. tport->tpg = NULL - tpg created - a PRLI is received. ft_tport_create is called, tpg is found and tport->tpg is set - tpg removed. ft_tpg is freed in ft_del_tpg. Since tpg->tport was not set, tport->tpg is not cleared and points at freed memory - Future calls to ft_tport_create return tport via first conditional, instead of searching for new tpg by calling ft_lport_find_tpg. tport->tpg is still invalid, and will access freed memory. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1071340 Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c b/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c index 4859505ae2ed..639fdb395fb7 100644 --- a/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c +++ b/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ static struct ft_tport *ft_tport_create(struct fc_lport *lport) if (tport) { tport->tpg = tpg; + tpg->tport = tport; return tport; } -- 1.9.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
