Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] random: fix data race on crng init time
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2021 16:41:57 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211220224157.111959-3-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211220224157.111959-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
_extract_crng() does plain loads of crng->init_time and
crng_global_init_time, which causes undefined behavior if
crng_reseed() and RNDRESEEDCRNG modify these corrently.
Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to make the behavior defined.
Don't fix the race on crng->init_time by protecting it with crng->lock,
since it's not a problem for duplicate reseedings to occur. I.e., the
lockless access with READ_ONCE() is fine.
Fixes: d848e5f8e1eb ("random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG")
Fixes: e192be9d9a30 ("random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG")
