From 0ff5b1b50d5ca2f7c76966cf0621aacd6ccefcab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 21:57:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rxrpc: Fix race between incoming ACK parser and retransmitter [ Upstream commit 2ad6691d988c0c611362ddc2aad89e0fb50e3261 ] There's a race between the retransmission code and the received ACK parser. The problem is that the retransmission loop has to drop the lock under which it is iterating through the transmission buffer in order to transmit a packet, but whilst the lock is dropped, the ACK parser can crank the Tx window round and discard the packets from the buffer. The retransmission code then updated the annotations for the wrong packet and a later retransmission thought it had to retransmit a packet that wasn't there, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by: (1) Moving the annotation change to before we drop the lock prior to transmission. This means we can't vary the annotation depending on the outcome of the transmission, but that's fine - we'll retransmit again later if it failed now. (2) Skipping the packet if the skb pointer is NULL. The following oops was seen: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000002d Workqueue: krxrpcd rxrpc_process_call RIP: 0010:rxrpc_get_skb+0x14/0x8a ...
