[ 020/108] cdc-wdm: Fix more races on the read path

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 30 2012 - 17:04:05 EST


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

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 711c68b3c0f7a924ffbee4aa962d8f62b85188ff upstream.

We must not allow the input buffer length to change while we're
shuffling the buffer contents. We also mustn't clear the WDM_READ
flag after more data might have arrived. Therefore move both of these
into the spinlocked region at the bottom of wdm_read().

When reading desc->length without holding the iuspin lock, use
ACCESS_ONCE() to ensure the compiler doesn't re-read it with
inconsistent results.
