[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Move work items to a stack list

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Nov 05 2019 - 03:09:00 EST


Move all work items to a list which lives on the stack while holding
the corresponding lock.

With this we avoid a race between testing if the list is empty and
extracting an element of the list. Although, the list_remove_head()
macro tests will return an NULL pointer if the list is empty the two
functions lpfc_sli_handle_slow_ring_event_s4() and
lpfc_sli4_els_xri_abort_event_proc() do not test the return element if
it's NULL.

Instead adding another test if the pointer is NULL just avoid this
access pattern by using the stack list. This also avoids toggling the
interrupts on/off for every item.

Hi,

While trying to understand what's going on in the Oops below I figured
that it could be the result of the invalid pointer access. The patch
still needs testing by our customer but indepent of this I think the
patch fixes a real bug.
