[PATCH 3/3] scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted SSP/STP sas_task

From: John Garry
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 08:18:43 EST


Currently a use-after-free may occur if a sas_task is aborted by the upper
layer before we handle the IO completion in mpi_ssp_completion() or
mpi_sata_completion().

In this case, the following are the two steps in handling those IO
completions:
- call complete() to inform the upper layer handler of completion of
the IO
- release driver resources associated with the sas_task in
pm8001_ccb_task_free() call

When complete() is called, the upper layer may free the sas_task. As such,
we should not touch the associated sas_task afterwards, but we do so in
the pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.

Fix by swapping the complete() and pm8001_ccb_task_free() calls ordering.
