Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
a779d91314
we found that the following race condition exists in
xfrm_alloc_userspi flow:
user thread state_hash_work thread
---- ----
xfrm_alloc_userspi()
__find_acq_core()
/*alloc new xfrm_state:x*/
xfrm_state_alloc()
/*schedule state_hash_work thread*/
xfrm_hash_grow_check() xfrm_hash_resize()
xfrm_alloc_spi /*hold lock*/
x->id.spi = htonl(spi) spin_lock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock)
/*waiting lock release*/ xfrm_hash_transfer()
spin_lock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock) /*add x into hlist:net->xfrm.state_byspi*/
hlist_add_head_rcu(&x->byspi)
spin_unlock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock)
/*add x into hlist:net->xfrm.state_byspi 2 times*/
hlist_add_head_rcu(&x->byspi)
1. a new state x is alloced in xfrm_state_alloc() and added into the bydst hlist
in __find_acq_core() on the LHS;
2. on the RHS, state_hash_work thread travels the old bydst and tranfers every xfrm_state
(include x) into the new bydst hlist and new byspi hlist;
3. user thread on the LHS gets the lock and adds x into the new byspi hlist again.
So the same xfrm_state (x) is added into the same list_hash
(net->xfrm.state_byspi) 2 times that makes the list_hash become
an inifite loop.
To fix the race, x->id.spi = htonl(spi) in the xfrm_alloc_spi() is moved
to the back of spin_lock_bh, sothat state_hash_work thread no longer add x
which id.spi is zero into the hash_list.

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.
