net: hibmcge: fix rtnl deadlock issue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hibmcge: fix rtnl deadlock issue
Currently, the hibmcge netdev acquires the rtnl_lock in
pci_error_handlers.reset_prepare() and releases it in
pci_error_handlers.reset_done().
However, in the PCI framework:
pci_reset_bus - __pci_reset_slot - pci_slot_save_and_disable_locked -
pci_dev_save_and_disable - err_handler->reset_prepare(dev);
In pci_slot_save_and_disable_locked():
list_for_each_entry(dev, &slot->bus->devices, bus_list) {
if (!dev->slot || dev->slot!= slot)
continue;
pci_dev_save_and_disable(dev);
if (dev->subordinate)
pci_bus_save_and_disable_locked(dev->subordinate);
}
This will iterate through all devices under the current bus and execute
err_handler->reset_prepare(), causing two devices of the hibmcge driver
to sequentially request the rtnl_lock, leading to a deadlock.
Since the driver now executes netif_device_detach()
before the reset process, it will not concurrently with
other netdev APIs, so there is no need to hold the rtnl_lock now.
Therefore, this patch removes the rtnl_lock during the reset process and
adjusts the position of HBG_NIC_STATE_RESETTING to ensure
that multiple resets are not executed concurrently.Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
