From 5cb84067d646fa3889463129dad8b218806b4698 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 22:11:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: fill_bus_reset_event needs lock protection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Callers of fill_bus_reset_event() have to take card->lock. Otherwise access to node data may oops if node removal is in progress. A lockless alternative would be - event->local_node_id = card->local_node->node_id; + tmp = fw_node_get(card->local_node); + event->local_node_id = tmp->node_id; + fw_node_put(tmp); and ditto with the other node pointers which fill_bus_reset_event() accesses. But I went the locked route because one of the two callers already holds the lock. As a bonus, we don't need the memory barrier anymore because device->generation and device->node_id are written in a card->lock protected section.
