From b4f36f88b3ee7cf26bf0be84e6c7fc15f84dcb71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:00:26 -0500 Subject: svcrpc: avoid memory-corruption on pool shutdown Socket callbacks use svc_xprt_enqueue() to add an xprt to a pool->sp_sockets list. In normal operation a server thread will later come along and take the xprt off that list. On shutdown, after all the threads have exited, we instead manually walk the sv_tempsocks and sv_permsocks lists to find all the xprt's and delete them. So the sp_sockets lists don't really matter any more. As a result, we've mostly just ignored them and hoped they would go away. Which has gotten us into trouble; witness for example ebc63e531cc6 "svcrpc: fix list-corrupting race on nfsd shutdown", the result of Ben Greear noticing that a still-running svc_xprt_enqueue() could re-add an xprt to an sp_sockets list just before it was deleted. The fix was to remove it from the list at the end of svc_delete_xprt(). But that only made corruption less likely--I can see nothing that prevents a svc_xprt_enqueue() from adding another xprt to the list at the same moment that we're removing this xprt from the list. In fact, despite the earlier xpo_detach(), I don't even see what guarantees that svc_xprt_enqueue() couldn't still be running on this xprt. So, instead, note that svc_xprt_enqueue() essentially does: lock sp_lock if XPT_BUSY unset add to sp_sockets unlock sp_lock So, if we do: set XPT_BUSY on every xprt. Empty every sp_sockets list, under the sp_socks locks. Then we're left knowing that the sp_sockets lists are all empty and will stay that way, since any svc_xprt_enqueue() will check XPT_BUSY under the sp_lock and see it set. And *then* we can continue deleting the xprt's. (Thanks to Jeff Layton for being correctly suspicious of this code....) Cc: Ben Greear Cc: Jeff Layton Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: J.
