[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/3] multipathd: avoid io_err_stat crash during shutdown

Benjamin Marzinski bmarzins at redhat.com
Tue Jan 12 23:52:54 UTC 2021


The checker thread is reponsible for enqueueing paths for the
io_err_stat thread to check. During shutdown, the io_err_stat thread is
shut down and cleaned up before the checker thread.  There is no code
to make sure that the checker thread isn't accessing the io_err_stat
pathvec or its mutex while they are being freed, which can lead to
memory corruption crashes.

To solve this, get rid of the io_err_stat_pathvec structure, and
statically define the mutex.  This means that the mutex is always valid
to access, and the io_err_stat pathvec can only be accessed while
holding it.  If the io_err_stat thread has already been cleaned up
when the checker tries to access the pathvec, it will be NULL, and the
checker will simply fail to enqueue the path.

This change also fixes a bug in free_io_err_pathvec(), which previously
only attempted to free the pathvec if it was not set, instead of when it
was set.
