Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] gtp: serialize PDP context updates
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 21:54:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901015419.2065671-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026083100-implosive-divinity-5dca@gregkh>
From: Qing Ming <a0yami@mailbox.org>
[ Upstream commit 498386b6d402737db1e2eeed4c385acbf0ef9e34 ]
PDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP
network device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL,
but the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU.
Running both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the
same PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and
reproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program
racing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range
[0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]
RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp]
RBP: dead000000000122
The second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer.
Serialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a
shared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in
the NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete
PDP context use in the DELPDP path.
Fixes: 459aa660eb1d ("gtp: add initial driver for datapath of GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U)")

[ adapted the locking changes to the older IPv4-only PDP context API and omitted the absent IPv6 lookup hunk. ]
