From 0d322413d6cff0bd2ccafc03ab9314dc55417e9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Edward Cree Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 11:10:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sfc: protect filter table against use-after-free If MCDI timeouts are encountered during efx_ef10_filter_table_remove(), an FLR will be queued, but efx->filter_state will still be kfree()d. The queued FLR will then call efx_ef10_filter_table_restore(), which will try to use efx->filter_state. This previously caused a panic. This patch adds an rwsem to protect the existence of efx->filter_state, separately from the spinlock protecting its contents. Users which can race against efx_ef10_filter_table_remove() should down_read this rwsem. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
