From ad3f428e0fbab1f306cbc22340e9f7672a49147f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shlomo Pongratz Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 20:38:36 -0700 Subject: [SCSI] be2iscsi: Fix possible reentrancy issue in be_iopoll The driver creates "NAPI" context per core which is fine, however the above routine declares the ret variable as static! Thus there is only one instance of this variable! When this routine is called from more than one thread of execution, than the result is unpredictable. static unsigned int ret; ..... ret = beiscsi_process_cq(pbe_eq); <--------Another thread can enter here and change "ret". if (ret < budget) { .... } <--------Another thread can enter here and change "ret". return ret; Fix - remove the "static" Signed-off-by: Shlomo Pongratz Signed-off-by: Jayamohan Kallickal Reviewed-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley --- drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/scsi') diff --git a/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c b/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c index 228d3318191..fe30e3fe7ee 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c @@ -2191,7 +2191,7 @@ void beiscsi_process_all_cqs(struct work_struct *work) static int be_iopoll(struct blk_iopoll *iop, int budget) { - static unsigned int ret; + unsigned int ret; struct beiscsi_hba *phba; struct be_eq_obj *pbe_eq; -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
