Subject: nbd: fix null-ptr-dereference while accessing 'nbd->config'
X-Git-Tag: v6.6.8~70
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c34fa2d16e98ec26251939d9958731ef74d5c493;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

nbd: fix null-ptr-dereference while accessing 'nbd->config'

[ Upstream commit c2da049f419417808466c529999170f5c3ef7d3d ]

Memory reordering may occur in nbd_genl_connect(), causing config_refs
to be set to 1 while nbd->config is still empty. Opening nbd at this
time will cause null-ptr-dereference.

   T1                      T2
   nbd_open
    nbd_get_config_unlocked
                 	   nbd_genl_connect
                 	    nbd_alloc_and_init_config
                 	     //memory reordered
                  	     refcount_set(&nbd->config_refs, 1)  // 2
     nbd->config
      ->null point
			     nbd->config = config  // 1

Fix it by adding smp barrier to guarantee the execution sequence.
