[PATCH v3 3/3] Drivers: hv: vmbus: serialize Offer and Rescind offer

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Tue Jan 20 2015 - 10:45:34 EST


Commit 4b2f9abea52a ("staging: hv: convert channel_mgmt.c to not call
osd_schedule_callback")' was written under an assumption that we never receive
Rescind offer while we're still processing the initial Offer request. However,
the issue we fixed in 04a258c162a8 could be caused by this assumption not
always being true.

In particular, we need to protect against the following:
1) Receiving a Rescind offer after we do queue_work() for processing an Offer
request and before we actually enter vmbus_process_offer(). work.func points
to vmbus_process_offer() at this moment and in vmbus_onoffer_rescind() we do
another queue_work() without a check so we'll enter vmbus_process_offer()
twice.
2) Receiving a Rescind offer after we enter vmbus_process_offer() and
especially after we set >state = CHANNEL_OPEN_STATE. Many things can go
wrong in that case, e.g. we can call free_channel() while we're still using
it.

Implement the required protection by changing work->func at the very end of
vmbus_process_offer() and checking work->func in vmbus_onoffer_rescind(). In
case we receive rescind offer during or before vmbus_process_offer() is done
we set rescind flag to true and we check it at the end of vmbus_process_offer()
so such offer will not get lost.
