Subject: [PATCH v2] xen-blkfront: fix kernel panic with negotiate_mq error path
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 09:49:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1540918161-31283-1-git-send-email-manjunath.b.patil@oracle.com> (raw)
info->nr_rings isn't adjusted in case of ENOMEM error from
negotiate_mq(). This leads to kernel panic in error path.
Typical call stack involving panic -
#8 page_fault at ffffffff8175936f
[exception RIP: blkif_free_ring+33]
RIP: ffffffffa0149491 RSP: ffff8804f7673c08 RFLAGS: 00010292
...
#9 blkif_free at ffffffffa0149aaa [xen_blkfront]
#10 talk_to_blkback at ffffffffa014c8cd [xen_blkfront]
#11 blkback_changed at ffffffffa014ea8b [xen_blkfront]
#12 xenbus_otherend_changed at ffffffff81424670
#13 backend_changed at ffffffff81426dc3
#14 xenwatch_thread at ffffffff81422f29
#15 kthread at ffffffff810abe6a
#16 ret_from_fork at ffffffff81754078
