[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 08/14] batman-adv: Fix potential synchronization issues in mcast tvlv handler

Antonio Quartulli
2015-08-04T16:35:28Z

From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>

So far the mcast tvlv handler did not anticipate the processing of
multiple incoming OGMs from the same originator at the same time. This
can lead to various issues:

* Broken refcounting: For instance two mcast handlers might both assume
that an originator just got multicast capabilities and will together
wrongly decrease mcast.num_disabled by two, potentially leading to
an integer underflow.

* Potential kernel panic on hlist_del_rcu(): Two mcast handlers might
one after another try to do an
hlist_del_rcu(&orig->mcast_want_all_*_node). The second one will
cause memory corruption / crashes.
(Reported by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>)

Right in the beginning the code path makes assumptions about the current
multicast related state of an originator and bases all updates on that. The
easiest and least error prune way to fix the issues in this case is to
serialize multiple mcast handler invocations with a spinlock.

Fixes: 60432d756cf0 ("batman-adv: Announce new capability via multicast TVLV")
