Subject: [PATCH v2 net 2/3] net: udp_tunnel: convert state flags to atomic bitops
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 06:59:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625065938.654652-3-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625065938.654652-1-edumazet@google.com>

The state flags of struct udp_tunnel_nic (need_sync, need_replay,
work_pending) are currently bitfields sharing a single byte.

These flags can be modified concurrently from different contexts:
- RTNL-locked paths (like add_port/del_port) write to need_sync and
  work_pending.
- The RTNL-less reset path (reset_ntf, used by netdevsim) writes to
  need_sync and need_replay under utn->lock.

Since they share a byte, concurrent writes are compiled into non-atomic
Read-Modify-Write (RMW) operations that can corrupt each other. For
example, a write to need_replay in reset_ntf can overwrite and clear
work_pending, defeating the double-queueing prevention and causing UAF.

Fix this by converting these state flags to atomic bitops, ensuring
safe concurrent writes across RTNL-locked and RTNL-less paths.

Fixes: 1ead7501094c ("udp_tunnel: remove rtnl_lock dependency")
