Subject: [PATCH net v2] tipc: serialize udp bearer replicast list updates
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 09:42:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707164248.821265-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
tipc_udp_rcast_add() and cleanup_bearer() both update ub->rcast.list
with list_add_rcu() / list_del_rcu(), but nothing serializes them. The
add runs from the encap receive softirq (via tipc_udp_rcast_disc())
without rtnl_lock(), so it can race the cleanup delete and corrupt the
list:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8880298d7ab8,
but was ffff88802449ad38. (prev=ffff888027e3ec98)
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
RIP: __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x17a/0x200
Workqueue: events cleanup_bearer
Call Trace:
cleanup_bearer (net/tipc/udp_media.c:811)
process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3302)
worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3466)
The bearer can be enabled from an unprivileged user namespace, as the
TIPCv2 generic-netlink ops carry no GENL_ADMIN_PERM.
Add a spinlock to struct udp_bearer and take it around the
list_add_rcu() in tipc_udp_rcast_add() and the list_del_rcu() loop in
cleanup_bearer() so the two writers can no longer corrupt the list.
While here, switch the read-only walk in tipc_udp_is_known_peer() to
list_for_each_entry_rcu(); it never deletes, so list_for_each_entry_safe()
was misleading.

v2: (per Tung's review)
- Narrow the lock to just list_add_rcu().
- Drop the under-lock dup re-check; serializing the writers is enough.
- Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() in tipc_udp_is_known_peer().
