[NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket
There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release() that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero callback is freed. Here it is: CPU1: CPU2 netlink_release(): netlink_dump_start(): sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */ netlink_remove(); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock); if (nlk->cb) { /* false */ ... } nlk->cb = cb; spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock); ... sock_orphan(sk); /* * proceed with releasing * the socket */ The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.
