drbd: fix an invalid memory access caused by incorrect use of list iterator 2022-04-06T19:07:52+00:00 Xiaomeng Tong xiam0nd.tong@gmail.com 2022-04-06T19:04:44+00:00 ae4d37b5df749926891583d42a6801b5da11e3c1 The bug is here: idr_remove(&connection->peer_devices, vnr); If the previous for_each_connection() don't exit early (no goto hit inside the loop), the iterator 'connection' after the loop will be a bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing the HEAD (&resource->connections). As a result, the use of 'connection' above will lead to a invalid memory access (including a possible invalid free as idr_remove could call free_layer). The original intention should have been to remove all peer_devices, but the following lines have already done the work. So just remove this line and the unneeded label, to fix this bug.

Removing the test on bdi_write_contested() in current_may_throttle() could cause a small change in behaviour, but only when PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set.

These functions are no longer useful as no BDIs report congestions any
more.

Removing the test on bdi_write_contested() in current_may_throttle()
could cause a small change in behaviour, but only when PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE
is set.

So replace the calls by 'false' and simplify the code - and remove the
functions.
