[PATCH 4.18 044/350] nvme: remove ns sibling before clearing path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 18:41:59 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 48f78be3326052a7718678ff9a78d6d884a50323 ]

The code had been clearing a namespace being deleted as the current
path while that namespace was still in the path siblings list. It is
possible a new IO could set that namespace back to the current path
since it appeared to be an eligable path to select, which may result in
a use-after-free error.

This patch ensures a namespace being removed is not eligable to be reset
as a current path prior to clearing it as the current path.
