o2dlm: fix NULL pointer dereference in o2dlm_blocking_ast_wrapper
A tiny race between BAST and unlock message causes the NULL dereference. A node sends an unlock request to master and receives a response. Before processing the response it receives a BAST from the master. Since both requests are processed by different threads it creates a race. While the BAST is being processed, lock can get freed by unlock code. This patch makes bast to return immediately if lock is found but unlock is pending. The code should handle this race. We also have to fix master node to skip sending BAST after receiving unlock message. Below is the crash stack BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048 IP: [<ffffffffa015e023>] o2dlm_blocking_ast_wrapper+0xd/0x16 [<ffffffffa034e3db>] dlm_do_local_bast+0x8e/0x97 [ocfs2_dlm] [<ffffffffa034f366>] dlm_proxy_ast_handler+0x838/0x87e [ocfs2_dlm] [<ffffffffa0308abe>] o2net_process_message+0x395/0x5b8 [ocfs2_nodemanager] [<ffffffffa030aac8>] o2net_rx_until_empty+0x762/0x90d [ocfs2_nodemanager] [<ffffffff81071802>] worker_thread+0x14d/0x1ed Signed-off-by: Srinivas Eeda <srinivas.eeda@oracle.com> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
