A region on o2hb_all_regions must have an initialized config item and name. o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item() currently links the zeroed region under o2hb_live_lock, drops the lock, and only then initializes hr_item. The lock therefore protects the list without protecting initialization from readers of the published item. With global heartbeat enabled, a DLM_QUERY_REGION from the current joining node can pass the existing-domain and protocol checks while a configfs mkdir creates another region. The DLM locks are not taken by the constructor, and the network worker does not take the configfs subsystem mutex. The following ordering is possible: Configfs mkdir O2net receive worker -------------- -------------------- Allocate reg Lock o2hb_live_lock Link into o2hb_all_regions Unlock o2hb_live_lock dlm_query_region_handler() dlm_match_regions() o2hb_get_all_regions() Lock o2hb_live_lock Copy 32 bytes from NULL name Unlock o2hb_live_lock config_item_init_type_name() The query thus dereferences NULL. Initialize hr_item before linking the region so the existing list lock also orders name initialization before any reader. Reject a failed name allocation, since the initialization helper does not propagate that error. Use config_item_put() on initialized constructor failures to release the name and respect references retained by o2hb_region_pin(). Initialize the list heads, mutex and delayed works needed by o2hb_region_release() before any such put, and leave the list node self-linked after rollback. Keep the existing handler drain before removing a failed published item.
