From c2da049f419417808466c529999170f5c3ef7d3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Nan Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2023 00:23:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] nbd: fix null-ptr-dereference while accessing 'nbd->config' MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Memory reordering may occur in nbd_genl_connect(), causing config_refs to be set to 1 while nbd->config is still empty. Opening nbd at this time will cause null-ptr-dereference. T1 T2 nbd_open nbd_get_config_unlocked nbd_genl_connect nbd_alloc_and_init_config //memory reordered refcount_set(&nbd->config_refs, 1) // 2 nbd->config ->null point nbd->config = config // 1 Fix it by adding smp barrier to guarantee the execution sequence.
