Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.
In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.
In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:
if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
/*
* On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
* request from the recvq/xmitq.
*/
smb_lock_server(server);
if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}
smb_unlock_server(server);
}
[...]
if (signal_pending(current))
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;
I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.
Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).
If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.
I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.
