From 6b708b3dde0ab3a10a0eea7774c1d6482f32f587 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Morgenstein Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 14:30:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] IB/sa_query: Fix AH leak due to update_sm_ah() race Our testing uncovered a race condition in ib_sa_event(): spin_lock_irqsave(&port->ah_lock, flags); if (port->sm_ah) kref_put(&port->sm_ah->ref, free_sm_ah); port->sm_ah = NULL; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->ah_lock, flags); schedule_work(&sa_dev->port[event->element.port_num - sa_dev->start_port].update_task); If two events occur back-to-back (e.g., client-reregister and LID change), both may pass the spinlock-protected code above before the scheduled work updates the port->sm_ah handle. Then if the scheduled work ends up running twice, the second operation will then find a non-NULL port->sm_ah, and will simply overwrite it in update_sm_ah -- resulting in an AH leak.
