[PATCH-v3.10.y 5/5] target: Fix alua_access_state attribute OOPs for un-configured devices

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

 



From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f1453773514bb8b0bba0716301e8c8f17f8d39c7 upstream.

This patch fixes a OOPs where an attempt to write to the per-device
alua_access_state configfs attribute at:

  /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/$DEV/alua/$TG_PT_GP/alua_access_state

results in an NULL pointer dereference when the backend device has not
yet been configured.

This patch adds an explicit check for DF_CONFIGURED, and fails with
-ENODEV to avoid this case.

(Fix up context changes for v3.10.y - nab)
