[PATCH] nbd: fix send/receive/shutdown/disconnect races
From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com> Here's the updated patch to fix several race conditions in nbd. It requires reverting the already included (but incomplete) nbd-race-fix.patch that's in -mm5. This patch fixes the following race conditions: 1) adds an increment of req->ref_count to eliminate races between do_nbd_request and nbd_end_request, which resulted in the freeing of in-use requests -- there were races between send/receive, send/shutdown (killall -9 nbd-client), and send/disconnect (nbd-client -d), which are now all fixed 2) adds locking and properly orders the code in NBD_CLEAR_SOCK to eliminate races with other code 3) adds an lo->sock check to nbd_clear_que to eliminate races between do_nbd_request and nbd_clear_que, which resulted in the dequeuing of active requests 4) adds an lo->sock check to NBD_DO_IT to eliminate races with NBD_CLEAR_SOCK, which caused an Oops when "nbd-client -d" was called
