Subject: [NETLINK] Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:16:18 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4625D3D2.9030507@sw.ru> (raw)
Sorry, I forgot to put netdev and David in Cc when I first sent it.
There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release()
that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero
callback is freed.
Here it is:
CPU1: CPU2
netlink_release(): netlink_dump_start():
sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */
netlink_remove();
spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
...
}
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);
spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
...
}
nlk->cb = cb;
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);
...
sock_orphan(sk);
/*
* proceed with releasing
* the socket
*/
The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback
in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in
netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.
