Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 3/3] inet: Avoid ehash lookup race in inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule()
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 09:50:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924015034.587056-4-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924015034.587056-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
Since ehash lookups are lockless, if another CPU is converting sk to tw
concurrently, fetching the newly inserted tw with tw->tw_refcnt == 0 cause
lookup failure.
The call trace map is drawn as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule()
spin_lock()
inet_twsk_add_node_rcu(tw, ...)
__inet_lookup_established()
(find tw, failure due to tw_refcnt = 0)
__sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu(sk)
refcount_set(&tw->tw_refcnt, 3)
spin_unlock()
By replacing sk with tw atomically via hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu() after
setting tw_refcnt, we ensure that tw is either fully initialized or not
visible to other CPUs, eliminating the race.
It's worth noting that we held lock_sock() before the replacement, so
there's no need to check if sk is hashed. Thanks to Kuniyuki Iwashima!
