From 00cd29b799e3449f0c68b1cc77cd4a5f95b42d17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 08:10:31 -0800 Subject: klist: fix starting point removed bug in klist iterators The starting node for a klist iteration is often passed in from somewhere way above the klist infrastructure, meaning there's no guarantee the node is still on the list. We've seen this in SCSI where we use bus_find_device() to iterate through a list of devices. In the face of heavy hotplug activity, the last device returned by bus_find_device() can be removed before the next call. This leads to Dec 3 13:22:02 localhost kernel: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 28073 at include/linux/kref.h:47 klist_iter_init_node+0x3d/0x50() Dec 3 13:22:02 localhost kernel: Modules linked in: scsi_debug x86_pkg_temp_thermal kvm_intel kvm irqbypass crc32c_intel joydev iTCO_wdt dcdbas ipmi_devintf acpi_power_meter iTCO_vendor_support ipmi_si imsghandler pcspkr wmi acpi_cpufreq tpm_tis tpm shpchp lpc_ich mfd_core nfsd nfs_acl lockd grace sunrpc tg3 ptp pps_core Dec 3 13:22:02 localhost kernel: CPU: 2 PID: 28073 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.4.0-rc1+ #2 Dec 3 13:22:02 localhost kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

It can actually occur in any hotplug system which has a device finder and a starting device. We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it (and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).
