Subject: [PATCH] nfs: callback_proc: fix an incorrect NULL check on list iterator
Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2022 16:02:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220327080230.12134-1-xiam0nd.tong@gmail.com> (raw)

The bug is here:
	if (!server ||
	server->pnfs_curr_ld->id != dev->cbd_layout_type) {

The list iterator value 'server' will *always* be set and non-NULL
by list_for_each_entry_rcu, so it is incorrect to assume that the
iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element is
found (In fact, it will be a bogus pointer to an invalid struct
object containing the HEAD, which is used for above check at next
outer loop). Otherwise it may bypass the check in theory (iif
server->pnfs_curr_ld->id == dev->cbd_layout_type, 'server' now is
a bogus pointer) and lead to invalid memory access passing the check.

To fix the bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the original variable 'server' as a dedicated pointer to
point to the found element.
