[PATCH] mpt2sas: mpt3sas: Fix memory corruption during initialization

From: Calvin Owens
Date: Fri Apr 10 2015 - 03:16:29 EST


While _scsih_probe_sas() is initializing devices, the hardware can trigger a
MPI2_EVENT_SAS_TOPO_RC_TARG_NOT_RESPONDING interrupt.

The handler for TARG_NOT_RESPONDING calls _scsih_device_remove_by_handle(),
which deletes the device in question from either ioc->sas_device_list or
ioc->sas_device_init_list. Since _scsih_probe_sas() uses no exclusion when
iterating over ioc->sas_device_init_list, this results in a use-after-free
in _scsih_probe_sas(), and also corrupts the list:

mpt2sas1: removing handle(0x0020), sas_addr(0x5f80f418573360e0)
mpt2sas1: log_info(0x31111000): originator(PL), code(0x11), sub_code(0x1000)

This either results in an immediate panic, or corrupts random memory and
causes nasty problems later in the box's uptime.

This patch splices the discovered devices out of the global list while
holding the lock, since _scsih_probe_sas() always removes them from that
global list anyway (either deleting them if initialization fails, or
moving them onto ioc->sas_device_list if it succeeds). The interrupt that
caused this bug will no longer cause the device to be removed during
initialization, since it won't exist on the global lists, but
_scsih_probe_sas() will remove it anyway when it fails to initialize.
