David Howells 0ff5b1b50d rxrpc: Fix race between incoming ACK parser and retransmitter 
[ Upstream commit 2ad6691d98 ]

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
	...

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
