[patch 43/88] SCSI: sg: fix races with ioctl(SG_IO)

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Apr 30 2009 - 13:26:42 EST


2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tony Battersby <tonyb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: a2dd3b4cea335713b58996bb07b3abcde1175f47

sg_io_owned needs to be set before the command is sent to the midlevel;
otherwise, a quickly-completing command may cause a different CPU
to see "srp->done == 1 && !srp->sg_io_owned", which would lead to
incorrect behavior.

Check srp->done and set srp->orphan while holding rq_list_lock to
prevent races with sg_rq_end_io().

There is no need to check sfp->closed from read/write/ioctl/poll/etc.
since the kernel guarantees that this won't happen.

The usefulness of sg_srp_done() was questionable before; now it is
definitely not needed.
