nbd: fix null-ptr-dereference while accessing 'nbd->config'
Memory reordering may occur in nbd_genl_connect(), causing config_refs to be set to 1 while nbd->config is still empty. Opening nbd at this time will cause null-ptr-dereference. T1 T2 nbd_open nbd_get_config_unlocked nbd_genl_connect nbd_alloc_and_init_config //memory reordered refcount_set(&nbd->config_refs, 1) // 2 nbd->config ->null point nbd->config = config // 1 Fix it by adding smp barrier to guarantee the execution sequence.
