From 8e26de238fd794c8ea56a5c98bf67c40cfeb051d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislav Kinsbursky Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:54:23 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixed RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to NULL). Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those tasks that aren't queued". Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 -------------------- --------------------- -------------------------- nfs4_run_open_task rpc_run_task rpc_execute rpc_set_active rpc_make_runnable (waiting) rpc_async_schedule nfs4_open_prepare nfs_wait_on_sequence nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_wake_up_task rpc_wake_up_queued_task spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL) BUG() rpc_sleep_on spin_lock(&q->lock) __rpc_sleep_on task->tk_waitqueue = q Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust --- net/sunrpc/clnt.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/sunrpc/clnt.c b/net/sunrpc/clnt.c index edaf56e2ed29..e7a96e478f63 100644 --- a/net/sunrpc/clnt.c +++ b/net/sunrpc/clnt.c @@ -436,7 +436,9 @@ void rpc_killall_tasks(struct rpc_clnt *clnt) if (!(rovr->tk_flags & RPC_TASK_KILLED)) { rovr->tk_flags |= RPC_TASK_KILLED; rpc_exit(rovr, -EIO); - rpc_wake_up_queued_task(rovr->tk_waitqueue, rovr); + if (RPC_IS_QUEUED(rovr)) + rpc_wake_up_queued_task(rovr->tk_waitqueue, + rovr); } } spin_unlock(&clnt->cl_lock); -- 2.34.1
