Subject: [PATCH net 09/11] ipvs: fixes for the new ip_vs_status info
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:05:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424190513.32823-10-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424190513.32823-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>
Sashiko reports some problems for the recently added
/proc/net/ip_vs_status:
* ip_vs_status_show() as a table reader may run long after the
conn_tab and svc_table table are released. While ip_vs_conn_flush()
properly changes the conn_tab_changes counter when conn_tab is removed,
ip_vs_del_service() and ip_vs_flush() were missing such change for
the svc_table_changes counter. As result, readers like
ip_vs_dst_event() and ip_vs_status_show() may continue to use
a freed table after a cond_resched_rcu() call.
* While counting the buckets in ip_vs_status_show() make sure we
traverse only the needed number of entries in the chain. This also
prevents possible overflow of the 'count' variable.
* Add check for 'loops' to prevent infinite loops while restarting
the traversal on table change.
* While IP_VS_CONN_TAB_MAX_BITS is 20 on 32-bit platforms and
there is no risk to overflow when multiplying the number of
conn_tab buckets to 100, prefer the div_u64() helper to make
the following dividing safer.
* Use 0440 permissions for ip_vs_status to restrict the
info only to root due to the exported information for hash
distribution.
