Hello
When using the nvme-tcp driver in a storage cluster, the driver may trigger a null pointer causing the host to crash several times.
By analyzing the vmcore, we know the direct cause is that the request->mq_hctx was used after free.
CPU1 CPU2
nvme_tcp_poll nvme_tcp_try_send --failed to send reqrest 13
nvme_tcp_try_recv nvme_tcp_fail_request
nvme_tcp_recv_skb nvme_tcp_end_request
nvme_tcp_recv_pdu nvme_complete_rq
nvme_tcp_handle_comp nvme_retry_req -- request->mq_hctx have been freed, is NULL.
nvme_tcp_process_nvme_cqe
nvme_complete_rq
nvme_end_req
blk_mq_end_request
when nvme_tcp_try_send failed to send reqrest 13, it maybe be resulted by selinux or other reasons, this is a problem. then the nvme_tcp_fail_request would execute。
but the nvme_tcp_recv_pdu may have received the responding pdu and the nvme_tcp_process_nvme_cqe would have completed the request. request->mq_hctx was used after free.
the follow patch is to solve it.
Zhang, your email client needs fixing - it is impossible to follow your
emails.
can you give some suggestions? thanks!
The problem is the C2HTerm that the host is unable to handle correctly.
And it also appears that nvme_tcp_poll() does not signal correctly to
blk-mq to stop
calling poll.
One thing to do is to handle C2HTerm PDU correctly, and, here is a
possible fix to try for the UAF issue:

Does this help?
