From: Kiyoshi Ueda Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 03:13:54 +0000 (+0100) Subject: dm: prevent access to md being deleted X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=abdc568b0540bec6d3e0afebac496adef1189b77;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git dm: prevent access to md being deleted This patch prevents access to mapped_device which is being deleted. Currently, even after a mapped_device has been removed from the hash, it could be accessed through idr_find() using minor number. That could cause a race and NULL pointer reference below: CPU0 CPU1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ dev_remove(param) down_write(_hash_lock) dm_lock_for_deletion(md) spin_lock(_minor_lock) set_bit(DMF_DELETING) spin_unlock(_minor_lock) __hash_remove(hc) up_write(_hash_lock) dev_status(param) md = find_device(param) down_read(_hash_lock) __find_device_hash_cell(param) dm_get_md(param->dev) md = dm_find_md(dev) spin_lock(_minor_lock) md = idr_find(MINOR(dev)) spin_unlock(_minor_lock) dm_put(md) free_dev(md) dm_get(md) up_read(_hash_lock) __dev_status(md, param) dm_put(md) This patch fixes such problems.
