netfilter: x_tables: fix ordering of jumpstack allocation and table update
During kernel stability testing on an SMP ARMv7 system, Yalin Wang reported the following panic from the netfilter code: 1fe0: 0000001c 5e2d3b10 4007e779 4009e110 60000010 00000032 ff565656 ff545454 [<c06c48dc>] (ipt_do_table+0x448/0x584) from [<c0655ef0>] (nf_iterate+0x48/0x7c) [<c0655ef0>] (nf_iterate+0x48/0x7c) from [<c0655f7c>] (nf_hook_slow+0x58/0x104) [<c0655f7c>] (nf_hook_slow+0x58/0x104) from [<c0683bbc>] (ip_local_deliver+0x88/0xa8) [<c0683bbc>] (ip_local_deliver+0x88/0xa8) from [<c0683718>] (ip_rcv_finish+0x418/0x43c) [<c0683718>] (ip_rcv_finish+0x418/0x43c) from [<c062b1c4>] (__netif_receive_skb+0x4cc/0x598) [<c062b1c4>] (__netif_receive_skb+0x4cc/0x598) from [<c062b314>] (process_backlog+0x84/0x158) [<c062b314>] (process_backlog+0x84/0x158) from [<c062de84>] (net_rx_action+0x70/0x1dc) [<c062de84>] (net_rx_action+0x70/0x1dc) from [<c0088230>] (__do_softirq+0x11c/0x27c) [<c0088230>] (__do_softirq+0x11c/0x27c) from [<c008857c>] (do_softirq+0x44/0x50) [<c008857c>] (do_softirq+0x44/0x50) from [<c0088614>] (local_bh_enable_ip+0x8c/0xd0) [<c0088614>] (local_bh_enable_ip+0x8c/0xd0) from [<c06b0330>] (inet_stream_connect+0x164/0x298) [<c06b0330>] (inet_stream_connect+0x164/0x298) from [<c061d68c>] (sys_connect+0x88/0xc8) [<c061d68c>] (sys_connect+0x88/0xc8) from [<c000e340>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30) Code: 2a000021 e59d2028 e59de01c e59f011c (e7824103) ---[ end trace da227214a82491bd ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt This comes about because CPU1 is executing xt_replace_table in response to a setsockopt syscall, resulting in: ret = xt_jumpstack_alloc(newinfo); --> newinfo->jumpstack = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); [...] table->private = newinfo; newinfo->initial_entries = private->initial_entries; Meanwhile, CPU0 is handling the network receive path and ends up in ipt_do_table, resulting in: private = table->private; [...] jumpstack = (struct ipt_entry **)private->jumpstack[cpu]; On weakly ordered memory architectures, the writes to table->private and newinfo->jumpstack from CPU1 can be observed out of order by CPU0. Furthermore, on architectures which don't respect ordering of address dependencies (i.e. Alpha), the reads from CPU0 can also be re-ordered. This patch adds an smp_wmb() before the assignment to table->private (which is essentially publishing newinfo) to ensure that all writes to newinfo will be observed before plugging it into the table structure. A dependent-read barrier is also added on the consumer sides, to ensure the same ordering requirements are also respected there. Cc: Paul E.
