[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 42/92] blk-mq: fix race between timeout and CPU hotplug

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue May 26 2015 - 12:02:58 EST


3.19.8-ckt1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f054b56c951bf1731ba7314a4c7f1cc0b2977cc9 upstream.

Firstly during CPU hotplug, even queue is freezed, timeout
handler still may come and access hctx->tags, which may cause
use after free, so this patch deactivates timeout handler
inside CPU hotplug notifier.

Secondly, tags can be shared by more than one queues, so we
have to check if the hctx has been unmapped, otherwise
still use-after-free on tags can be triggered.
