[PATCH net] sctp: add mutual exclusion in proc_sctp_do_udp_port()

[PATCH net] sctp: add mutual exclusion in proc_sctp_do_udp_port()

[Eric Dumazet]

We must serialize calls to sctp_udp_sock_stop() and sctp_udp_sock_start()
or risk a crash as syzbot reported:

Instead of introducing a new lock for this, wouldn't be better to just
move up `lock_sock(sk)` a little bit?

It depends if calling synchronize_rcu() two times while holding the
socket lock is ok or not ?

What is the issue about using a separate mutex ?

Don't they need locking against a different path that is using the socket?
Not only against concurrent accesses to the sysctl?

Presuming the crash was because of the net->sctp.udp4_sock = NULL
assignment in sock_stop(), if 'min' is zero allowing 'new_value' zero
then the pointer is left NULL.

IIRC sctp_sk(sk) is fixed, so the sock_lock() doesn't do much apart
from stop some unlikely 'data tearing'.

Hi Davide,

The lock is used to protect the variable 'net->sctp.udp4_sock',  and there
are no other paths accessing it.

The udp socket is created to listen on a specific port for receiving only,
there's no need to access net->sctp.udp4_sock in sctp data path.

Thanks.

hm, It doesn't sound normal, although this ctl_sock only handles the
out-of-blue packets.

no issue, just don't want to introduce a new lock for this only.
