Re: [PATCH V1] block: Fix null pointer dereference issue on struct io_cq

Hi,

在 2023/05/17 16:44, Pradeep P V K 写道:
There is a potential race between ioc_clear_fn() and
exit_io_context() as shown below, due to which below
crash is observed. It can also result into use-after-free
issue.

context#1: context#2:
ioc_release_fn() do_exit();
->spin_lock(&ioc->lock); ->exit_io_context();
->ioc_destroy_icq(icq); ->ioc_exit_icqs();
->list_del_init(&icq->q_node); ->spin_lock_irq(&ioc->lock);
->call_rcu(&icq->__rcu_head,
icq_free_icq_rcu);
->spin_unlock(&ioc->lock);
->ioc_exit_icq(); gets the same icq
I don't understand how is this possible, the list is protected by
'ioc->lock', both hlist_del_init and hlist_for_each_entry are called
inside the lock.

Thanks,
Kuai
->bfq_exit_icq();
This results into below crash as bic
is NULL as it is derived from icq.
There is a chance that icq could be
free'd as well.

Fix this by checking with ICQ_DESTROYED flags in ioc_exit_icqs().
Also, ensure ioc_exit_icq() is accessing icq within rcu_read_lock/unlock
so that icq doesn't get free'd up while it is still using it.
