sctp: Don't add the shutdown timer if its already been added
This BUG halt was reported a while back, but the patch somehow got missed: PID: 2879 TASK: c16adaa0 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "sctpn" #0 [f418dd28] crash_kexec at c04a7d8c thesofproject#1 [f418dd7c] oops_end at c0863e02 thesofproject#2 [f418dd90] do_invalid_op at c040aaca thesofproject#3 [f418de28] error_code (via invalid_op) at c08631a5 EAX: f34baac0 EBX: 00000090 ECX: f418deb0 EDX: f5542950 EBP: 00000000 DS: 007b ESI: f34ba800 ES: 007b EDI: f418dea0 GS: 00e0 CS: 0060 EIP: c046fa5e ERR: ffffffff EFLAGS: 00010286 thesofproject#4 [f418de5c] add_timer at c046fa5e thesofproject#5 [f418de68] sctp_do_sm at f8db8c77 [sctp] thesofproject#6 [f418df30] sctp_primitive_SHUTDOWN at f8dcc1b5 [sctp] thesofproject#7 [f418df48] inet_shutdown at c080baf9 thesofproject#8 [f418df5c] sys_shutdown at c079eedf thesofproject#9 [f418df70] sys_socketcall at c079fe88 EAX: ffffffda EBX: 0000000d ECX: bfceea90 EDX: 0937af98 DS: 007b ESI: 0000000c ES: 007b EDI: b7150ae4 SS: 007b ESP: bfceea7c EBP: bfceeaa8 GS: 0033 CS: 0073 EIP: b775c424 ERR: 00000066 EFLAGS: 00000282 It appears that the side effect that starts the shutdown timer was processed multiple times, which can happen as multiple paths can trigger it. This of course leads to the BUG halt in add_timer getting called. Fix seems pretty straightforward, just check before the timer is added if its already been started. If it has mod the timer instead to min(current expiration, new expiration) Its been tested but not confirmed to fix the problem, as the issue has only occured in production environments where test kernels are enjoined from being installed. It appears to be a sane fix to me though. Also, recentely, Jere found a reproducer posted on list to confirm that this resolves the issues Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <[email protected]> CC: Vlad Yasevich <[email protected]> CC: "David S.
