From 7c15a1d61dd56273786b0799d4eaa940739c8d56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:08:53 -0800 Subject: net: fix IP early demux races [ Upstream commit 5037e9ef9454917b047f9f3a19b4dd179fbf7cd4 ] David Wilder reported crashes caused by dst reuse. I am seeing a crash on a distro V4.2.3 kernel caused by a double release of a dst_entry. In ipv4_dst_destroy() the call to list_empty() finds a poisoned next pointer, indicating the dst_entry has already been removed from the list and freed. The crash occurs 18 to 24 hours into a run of a network stress exerciser. Thanks to his detailed report and analysis, we were able to understand the core issue. IP early demux can associate a dst to skb, after a lookup in TCP/UDP sockets. When socket cache is not properly set, we want to store into sk->sk_dst_cache the dst for future IP early demux lookups, by acquiring a stable refcount on the dst. Problem is this acquisition is simply using an atomic_inc(), which works well, unless the dst was queued for destruction from dst_release() noticing dst refcount went to zero, if DST_NOCACHE was set on dst. We need to make sure current refcount is not zero before incrementing it, or risk double free as David reported. This patch, being a stable candidate, adds two new helpers, and use them only from IP early demux problematic paths. It might be possible to merge in net-next skb_dst_force() and skb_dst_force_safe(), but I prefer having the smallest patch for stable kernels : Maybe some skb_dst_force() callers do not expect skb->dst can suddenly be cleared. Can probably be backported back to linux-3.6 kernels Reported-by: David J. Wilder Tested-by: David J. Wilder Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
