Subject: [PATCH net] amt: fix tunnel list corruption on device stop
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 00:54:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822045407.28983-1-blbllhy@gmail.com> (raw)

amt_dev_stop() calls list_del_rcu() on each tunnel without holding
amt->lock. amt_tunnel_expire() does the same under amt->lock. When both
race on the same tunnel, the second list_del_rcu() hits LIST_POISON2 and
panics the kernel. An unprivileged user can trigger this inside its own
user/network namespace.

 list_del corruption, prev is LIST_POISON2 (dead000000000122)
 kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:59!
 RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x13a/0x200
 Call Trace:
  amt_dev_stop+0x2c3/0x500 (drivers/net/amt.c:3097)
  __dev_close_many+0x17e/0x470
  unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x729/0x1f00

Fix:
1. Quiesce RX: clear sk_user_data and call synchronize_net() to ensure
   no RCU readers are traversing tunnel_list. This makes list_del_init()
   safe (it is not RCU-reader-safe unlike list_del_rcu()).
2. Hold amt->lock when unlinking tunnels in stop, using list_del_init()
   so amt_tunnel_expire() can detect already-claimed tunnels via
   list_empty() and skip them.
3. Use while/list_first_entry instead of list_for_each_entry_safe,
   because cancel_delayed_work_sync() can sleep and the cached next
   pointer may become stale.
4. Use disable_delayed_work_sync() instead of cancel_delayed_work_sync()
   to prevent amt_update_handler() from rearming the GC timer in a rare
   race where a packet arrives before the socket is fully released.
