From 2a60965a0ef7e92325c4e72d8965c4b8c8fdc429 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Milan P. Gandhi" Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2016 22:02:46 +0530 Subject: scsi: qla2xxx: Get mutex lock before checking optrom_state [ Upstream commit c7702b8c22712a06080e10f1d2dee1a133ec8809 ] There is a race condition with qla2xxx optrom functions where one thread might modify optrom buffer, optrom_state while other thread is still reading from it. In couple of crashes, it was found that we had successfully passed the following 'if' check where we confirm optrom_state to be QLA_SREADING. But by the time we acquired mutex lock to proceed with memory_read_from_buffer function, some other thread/process had already modified that option rom buffer and optrom_state from QLA_SREADING to QLA_SWAITING. Then we got ha->optrom_buffer 0x0 and crashed the system: if (ha->optrom_state != QLA_SREADING) return 0; mutex_lock(&ha->optrom_mutex); rval = memory_read_from_buffer(buf, count, &off, ha->optrom_buffer, ha->optrom_region_size); mutex_unlock(&ha->optrom_mutex); With current optrom function we get following crash due to a race condition: [ 1479.466679] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [ 1479.466707] IP: [] memcpy+0x6/0x110 [...] [ 1479.473673] Call Trace: [ 1479.474296] [] ? memory_read_from_buffer+0x3c/0x60 [ 1479.474941] [] qla2x00_sysfs_read_optrom+0x9c/0xc0 [qla2xxx] [ 1479.475571] [] read+0xdb/0x1f0 [ 1479.476206] [] vfs_read+0x9e/0x170 [ 1479.476839] [] SyS_read+0x7f/0xe0 [ 1479.477466] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Below patch modifies qla2x00_sysfs_read_optrom, qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom functions to get the mutex_lock before checking ha->optrom_state to avoid similar crashes. The patch was applied and tested and same crashes were no longer observed again. Tested-by: Milan P. Gandhi Signed-off-by: Milan P.
