Subject: [PATCH 4/4] afs: Clear stale peer app data after address list changes
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 13:10:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902121024.3328255-5-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902121024.3328255-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

From: Chengfeng Ye <nicoyip.dev@gmail.com>

afs_fs_probe_fileserver() fetches the current endpoint state under
server->fs_lock, but leaves old_alist as NULL.  Consequently,
afs_set_peer_appdata() treats every address list replacement as initial
setup and only binds the new peers; it never unbinds peers removed from
the old list.

An address refresh can therefore proceed as follows.  CPU 0 replaces
server S's list and drops Pold without clearing Pold->app_data.  The
server destroyer then clears only S's current peers and lets S reach its
RCU callback.  After the callback frees S, CPU 1 handles a callback
through an RxRPC connection that still pins Pold, reads Pold->app_data,
and calls afs_use_server() on the freed object.

KASAN reported:

   afs_put_server+0x213/0x2b0

Preserve old->addresses for the peer app-data update so that removed
peers are cleared before the endpoint state is replaced.  Also advance
both cursors when the old and new lists share a peer; activating the
old/new comparison without this would otherwise loop forever on the
shared entry.
