This patch changes an incorrect use of BUG_ON to instead generate a REJECT + PROTOCOL_ERROR in iscsit_process_nop_out() code. This case can occur with traditional TCP where a flood of zeros in the data stream can reach this block for what is presumed to be a NOP-OUT with a solicited reply, but without a valid iscsi_cmd pointer. This incorrect BUG_ON was introduced during the v3.11-rc timeframe with the following commit: commit 778de368964c5b7e8100cde9f549992d521e9c89 Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 14 16:07:47 2013 -0700 iscsi/isert-target: Refactor ISCSI_OP_NOOP RX handling Reported-by: Arshad Hussain <arshad.hussain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c +++ b/drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c @@ -1564,7 +1564,9 @@ int iscsit_process_nop_out(struct iscsi_ * Initiator is expecting a NopIN ping reply.. */ if (hdr->itt != RESERVED_ITT) { - BUG_ON(!cmd); + if (!cmd) + return iscsit_add_reject(conn, ISCSI_REASON_PROTOCOL_ERROR, + (unsigned char *)hdr); spin_lock_bh(&conn->cmd_lock); list_add_tail(&cmd->i_conn_node, &conn->conn_cmd_list); Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.14/target-iser-fix-wrong-connection-requests-list-addition.patch queue-3.14/target-iser-fix-iscsit_accept_np-and-rdma_cm-racy-flow.patch queue-3.14/target-allow-non-supporting-backends-to-set-pi_prot_type-to-0.patch queue-3.14/target-don-t-allow-setting-wc-emulation-if-device-doesn-t-support.patch queue-3.14/iscsi-target-change-bug_on-to-reject-in-iscsit_process_nop_out.patch queue-3.14/target-fix-memory-leak-on-xcopy.patch -- 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
