Subject: [PATCH 03/12] xfrm: add missing RCU read lock in xfrm_send_migrate_state()
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:29:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907093020.2228346-4-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907093020.2228346-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>
xfrm_nlmsg_multicast() requires the RCU read lock to be held because it
safely dereferences the net->xfrm.nlsk pointer using rcu_dereference().
When it is called from xfrm_send_migrate_state(), the RCU read lock is not
held, which triggers a suspicious RCU usage warning:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1630 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
Call Trace:
lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x13f/0x1d0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:6876
xfrm_nlmsg_multicast+0x1d8/0x1f0 net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1630
xfrm_send_migrate_state+0x870/0xae0 net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:3340

xfrm_user_rcv_msg+0x7a8/0xf30 net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:3907
Fix this by wrapping the xfrm_nlmsg_multicast() call in
xfrm_send_migrate_state() with rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
Fixes: a9d155ea9b44 ("xfrm: add XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE for single SA migration")
