The result is the oops above, when t3_l2t_get attempts to dereference L2DATA(cdev)->nentries in arp_hash right after the EEH error handler sets it to NULL. The fix is to prevent the setting of the NULL pointer until after there are no further users of it. The t3cdev->l2opt pointer is now converted to be an rcu pointer and the L2DATA macro is now called under the protection of the rcu_read_lock(). When the EEH error path: t3_adapter_error->offload_close->cxgb3_offload_deactivate Is exectured, setting of that l2opt pointer to NULL, is now gated on an rcu quiescence point, preventing, allowing L2DATA callers to safely check for a NULL pointer without concern that the underlying data will be freeded before the pointer is dereferenced. This has been tested by the reporter and shown to fix the reproted oops [nhorman: fix up unitinialised variable reported by Dan Carpenter] Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reviewed-by: Karen Xie <kxie@chelsio.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com> |
