Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Fix SCSI I/O completion and abort handler deadlock During stress I/O tests with 500+ vports, hard LOCKUP call traces are observed. CPU A: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x192 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x32 lpfc_handle_fcp_err+0x4c6 lpfc_fcp_io_cmd_wqe_cmpl+0x964 lpfc_sli4_fp_handle_cqe+0x266 __lpfc_sli4_process_cq+0x105 __lpfc_sli4_hba_process_cq+0x3c lpfc_cq_poll_hdler+0x16 irq_poll_softirq+0x76 __softirqentry_text_start+0xe4 irq_exit+0xf7 do_IRQ+0x7f CPU B: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5b _raw_spin_lock+0x1c lpfc_abort_handler+0x13e scmd_eh_abort_handler+0x85 process_one_work+0x1a7 worker_thread+0x30 kthread+0x112 ret_from_fork+0x1f Diagram of lockup: CPUA CPUB ---- ---- lpfc_cmd->buf_lock phba->hbalock lpfc_cmd->buf_lock phba->hbalock Fix by reordering the taking of the lpfc_cmd->buf_lock and phba->hbalock in lpfc_abort_handler routine so that it tries to take the lpfc_cmd->buf_lock first before phba->hbalock.
