[PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix the race when querying & updating the percpu list

From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Mon May 16 2016 - 23:32:45 EST


There is a rare race when we remove an entry from the global list
hv_context.percpu_list[cpu] in hv_process_channel_removal() ->
percpu_channel_deq() -> list_del(): at this time, if vmbus_on_event() ->
process_chn_event() -> pcpu_relid2channel() is trying to query the list,
we can get the general protection fault:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
...
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81461b6b>] [<ffffffff81461b6b>] vmbus_on_event+0xc4/0x149

Similarly, we also have the issue in the code path: vmbus_process_offer() ->
percpu_channel_enq().

We can resolve the issue by disabling the tasklet when updating the list.
