dm raid1: fix null pointer dereference in suspend
When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is required by design. Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). Issue On 2.6.33-rc1 kernel, I hit the bug when I suspended the failed mirror by dmsetup command.

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724 Signed-off-by: Takahiro Yasui <tyasui@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
