From: Roland Dreier <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The following sequence happens for write commands (or any other
commands with a data out phase):
- The transport calls target_submit_cmd(), which sets CMD_T_ACTIVE in
cmd->transport_state and sets cmd->t_state to TRANSPORT_NEW_CMD.
- Things go on transport_generic_new_cmd(), which notices that the
command needs to transfer data, so it sets cmd->t_state to
TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING and calls transport_cmd_check_stop().
- transport_cmd_check_stop() clears CMD_T_ACTIVE in cmd->transport_state
and returns in the normal case.
- Then we continue on to call ->se_tfo->write_pending().
- The data comes back from the initiator, and the transport calls
target_execute_cmd(), which sets cmd->t_state to TRANSPORT_PROCESSING
and calls into the backend to actually write the data.
At this point, the backend might take a long time to complete the
command, since it has to do real IO. If an abort request comes in for
this command at this point, it will not wait for the command to finish
since CMD_T_ACTIVE is not set. Then when the command does finally
finish, we blow up with use-after-free.
Avoid this by setting CMD_T_ACTIVE in target_execute_cmd() so that
transport_wait_for_tasks() waits for the command to finish executing.
This matches the behavior from before commit 1389533ef944 ("target:
remove transport_generic_handle_data"), when data was signaled via
transport_generic_handle_data(), which set CMD_T_ACTIVE because it
called transport_add_cmd_to_queue().
