[PATCH 4.18 25/44] dm mpath: fix attached_handler_name leak and dangling hw_handler_name pointer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 11 2018 - 11:48:00 EST


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

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

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b592211c33f745af67a3271ce77c10fc1e6d6241 upstream.

Commit e8f74a0f0011 ("dm mpath: eliminate need to use
scsi_device_from_queue") introduced 2 regressions:
1) memory leak occurs if attached_handler_name is not assigned to
m->hw_handler_name
2) m->hw_handler_name can become a dangling pointer if the
RETAIN_ATTACHED_HW_HANDLER flag is set and scsi_dh_attach() returns
-EBUSY.

Fix both of these by clearing 'attached_handler_name' pointer passed to
setup_scsi_dh() after it is assigned to m->hw_handler_name. And if
setup_scsi_dh() doesn't consume 'attached_handler_name' parse_path()
will kfree() it.
