PATCH 1/1 scsi midlayer: fix sdev reuse after free

The conversion to execute_in_process_context() highlighted a use-after-free race condition. Although the sdev was torn down, it remained in the linked lists looked at by scan, and allowed scan to reuse the sdev.

This patch removes the sdev from the lists at the point it tears down the sdev.

Not quite ... we cannot physically remove the device from the list until after device_del has been called otherwise we could get namespace reuse before it is really free (that's quite a small race window in this case, but it does exist).

#2 lore raw

Yes - same issue as with the starget - and with the same call for actions....

What is says is all of this is very broken right now for dynamic teardown and re-add. Perhaps you want to reconsider the patch that made it configurable as to whether to tear down the starget tree ? Granted, you still have to do so on module unload or LLDD detach, but the common use models usually doesn't make this an issue.

Please do not use this sdev patch. It worked fine on small systems, but those with some parallelism (and highlighted with parallel scan) encountered issues. I'll formally ack the patch as being bad.

We have yet to create a patch that fully resolves this issue (the sdev reuse and the reuse of the sysfs namespace).

Any idea ?

In reply to James Smart

FYI - NACK this patch. It passed testing on small systems, but didn't fare well at all on larger more parallel systems. Still working on a patch for this.

The conversion to execute_in_process_context() highlighted a use-after-free race condition. Although the sdev was torn down, it remained in the linked lists looked at by scan, and allowed scan to reuse the sdev.

This patch removes the sdev from the lists at the point it tears down the sdev.
