Subject: [PATCH net v1] net/smc: fix socket use-after-free during link group termination
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 18:54:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723105454.87016-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

__smc_lgr_terminate() drops conns_lock after finding a connection in
lgr->conns_all, but before taking a reference on its socket. The connection
is embedded in the socket, and its registration reference protects it only
while the connection remains in the tree.

A concurrent close can unregister the connection and drop that reference,
freeing the socket before the termination worker reaches sock_hold().

The race is reachable when close overlaps link group termination.
Local stress testing reproduced the use-after-free and KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0 [smc]
  Write of size 4 by task kworker/3:3
  Workqueue: events smc_lgr_terminate_work [smc]
  __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0 [smc]

The socket was allocated by smc_create(), freed through
slab_free_after_rcu_debug(), and was followed by:

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  __smc_lgr_terminate.part.0 [smc]

Take the socket reference while conns_lock still protects the tree entry.
The unregister path then cannot drop the last reference until termination
has finished using the socket.
