[PATCH for-6.0] block/nbd: fix possible use after free of s->connect_thr


From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
Subject: [PATCH for-6.0] block/nbd: fix possible use after free of s->connect_thread
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2021 18:51:14 +0300

If on nbd_close() we detach the thread (in
nbd_co_establish_connection_cancel() thr->state becomes
CONNECT_THREAD_RUNNING_DETACHED), after that point we should not use
s->connect_thread (which is set to NULL), as running thread may free it
at any time.

Still nbd_co_establish_connection() does exactly this: it saves
s->connect_thread to local variable (just for better code style) and
use it even after yield point, when thread may be already detached.

Fix that. Also check thr to be non-NULL on
nbd_co_establish_connection() start for safety.

After this patch "case CONNECT_THREAD_RUNNING_DETACHED" becomes
impossible in the second switch in nbd_co_establish_connection().
Still, don't add extra abort() just before the release. If it somehow
possible to reach this "case:" it won't hurt. Anyway, good refactoring
of all this reconnect mess will come soon.

Hi all! I faced a crash, just running 277 iotest in a loop. I can't
reproduce it on master, it reproduces only on my branch with nbd
reconnect refactorings.

Still, it seems very possible that it may crash under some conditions.
So I propose this patch for 6.0. It's written so that it's obvious that
it will not hurt:

 pre-patch, on first hunk we'll just crash if thr is NULL,
 on second hunk it's safe to return -1, and using thr when
 s->connect_thread is already zeroed is obviously wrong.
