Subject: [PATCH bpf] xsk: fix init race causing NPD/UAF in xsk_create()
Date: Fri,  9 Jan 2026 18:04:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109100420.1967-2-qikeyu2017@gmail.com> (raw)

xsk_init() previously registered the PF_XDP socket family before the
per-net subsystem and other prerequisites (netdevice notifier, caches)
were fully initialized.

This exposed .create = xsk_create() to user space while per-netns
state (net->xdp.lock/list) was still uninitialized. A task with
CAP_NET_RAW could trigger this during boot/module load by calling
socket(PF_XDP, SOCK_RAW, 0) concurrently with xsk_init(), leading
to a NULL pointer dereference or use-after-free in the list manipulation.

To fix this, move sock_register() to the end of the initialization
sequence, ensuring that all required kernel structures are ready before
exposing the AF_XDP interface to userspace.

Accordingly, reorder the error unwind path to ensure proper cleanup
in reverse order of initialization. Also, explicitly add
kmem_cache_destroy() in the error path to prevent leaking
xsk_tx_generic_cache if the registration fails.

Fixes: c0c77d8fb787 ("xsk: add user memory registration support sockopt")
