Hi Ben,

I noticed that you are looking to backport this patch to 3.16

I am wondering why you are taking this libsas patch (and a couple other
libsas patches) in isolation, when these patches were part of a series
to fix libsas hotplug issues? I'm not sure if cherry-picking certain
patches is ok.

Maybe Jason (cc'ed) can comment further.

This one apparently fixed a security issue (CVE-2017-18232), though I'm
certainly not convinced it's a particularly serious one.

But please send objections to the list, not just privately.


Hi Ben,

This patch is in the series below. I recommend to backport them together. If you really want to do this, I'm happy to help you to backport them.

Ben.

Thanks,

commit 0558f33c06bb910e2879e355192227a8e8f0219d upstream.

In commit 87c8331fcf72 ("[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery
competing with ata error handling") introduced disco mutex to prevent
rediscovery competing with ata error handling and put the whole
revalidation in the mutex. But the rphy add/remove needs to wait for the
error handling which also grabs the disco mutex. This may leads to dead
lock.So the probe and destruct event were introduce to do the rphy
add/remove asynchronously and out of the lock.

The asynchronously processed workers makes the whole discovery process
not atomic, the other events may interrupt the process. For example,
if a loss of signal event inserted before the probe event, the
sas_deform_port() is called and the port will be deleted.

And sas_port_delete() may run before the destruct event, but the
port-x:x is the top parent of end device or expander. This leads to
a kernel WARNING such as:

Make probe and destruct a direct call in the disco and revalidate function,
but put them outside the lock. The whole discovery or revalidate won't
be interrupted by other events. And the DISCE_PROBE and DISCE_DESTRUCT
event are deleted as a result of the direct call.

Introduce a new list to destruct the sas_port and put the port delete after
the destruct. This makes sure the right order of destroying the sysfs
kobject and fix the warning above.

In sas_ex_revalidate_domain() have a loop to find all broadcasted
device, and sometimes we have a chance to find the same expander twice.
Because the sas_port will be deleted at the end of the whole revalidate
process, sas_port with the same name cannot be added before this.
Otherwise the sysfs will complain of creating duplicate filename. Since
the LLDD will send broadcast for every device change, we can only
process one expander's revalidation.
