Subject: [PATCH for v4.9 LTS 73/87] scsi: qla2xxx: Get mutex lock before
 checking optrom_state

From: "Milan P. Gandhi" <mgandhi@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit c7702b8c22712a06080e10f1d2dee1a133ec8809 ]

There is a race condition with qla2xxx optrom functions where one thread
might modify optrom buffer, optrom_state while other thread is still
reading from it.

In couple of crashes, it was found that we had successfully passed the
following 'if' check where we confirm optrom_state to be
QLA_SREADING. But by the time we acquired mutex lock to proceed with
memory_read_from_buffer function, some other thread/process had already
modified that option rom buffer and optrom_state from QLA_SREADING to
QLA_SWAITING. Then we got ha->optrom_buffer 0x0 and crashed the system:

        if (ha->optrom_state != QLA_SREADING)
                return 0;

        mutex_lock(&ha->optrom_mutex);
        rval = memory_read_from_buffer(buf, count, &off, ha->optrom_buffer,
            ha->optrom_region_size);
        mutex_unlock(&ha->optrom_mutex);

With current optrom function we get following crash due to a race
condition:

[ 1479.466679] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)

[ 1479.477466]  [<ffffffff816964c9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Below patch modifies qla2x00_sysfs_read_optrom,
qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom functions to get the mutex_lock before
checking ha->optrom_state to avoid similar crashes.

The patch was applied and tested and same crashes were no longer
observed again.
