Subject: IB/cm: Fix av cm device leak on an error path in cm_init_av_by_path()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b2207bc5cdb955bdae34b3eec80f04979e17081;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

IB/cm: Fix av cm device leak on an error path in cm_init_av_by_path()

Codex pointed out that cm_init_av_by_path() can call cm_set_av_port()
which takes a reference on the cm device, but then can immediately return
error if ib_init_ah_attr_from_path() fails.

Since callers like ib_send_cm_req() put the av on the stack this leaks
that cm device reference.

Re-order cm_init_av_by_path() so it doesn't touch the av until it has done
all its failable work, and then update the av in one shot so it is either
left alone or fully init'd.

Sashiko also pointed out that the cm_destroy_av() prior to
cm_init_av_by_path() is harmful as it leaves the AV broken in the error
case and thus the REJ won't send. Since cm_init_av_by_path() is now atomic
it is safe to delete the cm_destroy_av(). On succees the av from
cm_init_av_for_response() is cleaned up by cm_init_av_by_path(), on
failure the 'goto rejected' guarentees the av is destroyed during
ib_destroy_cm_id().
