Subject: ACPI / IPMI: Fix race caused by the unprotected ACPI IPMI transfers
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ac557ef4951ea4b131ae45b08434546cb386ac5;p=linux-beck.git

ACPI / IPMI: Fix race caused by the unprotected ACPI IPMI transfers

This patch fixes races caused by unprotected ACPI IPMI transfers.

We can see that the following crashes may occur:
 1. There is no tx_msg_lock held for iterating tx_msg_list in
    ipmi_flush_tx_msg() while it may be unlinked on failure in
    parallel in acpi_ipmi_space_handler() under tx_msg_lock.
 2. There is no lock held for freeing tx_msg in acpi_ipmi_space_handler()
    while it may be accessed in parallel in ipmi_flush_tx_msg() and
    ipmi_msg_handler().

This patch enhances tx_msg_lock to protect all tx_msg accesses to solve
this issue.  Then tx_msg_lock is always held around complete() and tx_msg
accesses.
