Subject: [27/68] dm raid1: fix null pointer dereference in suspend

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Takahiro Yasui <tyasui@...hat.com>

commit 558569aa9d83e016295bac77d900342908d7fd85 upstream.

When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and
__rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is
required by design.  Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed
region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end().

Issue

On 2.6.33-rc1 kernel, I hit the bug when I suspended the failed
mirror by dmsetup command.

Analysis

When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.

When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.

Solution

Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:

  - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
    bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.

  - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
    delayed_bio list.

The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:
