Subject: [PATCH 5/9] netfilter: nf_tables: Align nft_expr private data to 64-bit
Date: Wed,  6 Nov 2019 12:12:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191106111237.3183-6-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191106111237.3183-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>

Invoking the following commands on a 32-bit architecture with strict
alignment requirements (such as an ARMv7-based Raspberry Pi) results
in an alignment exception:

 # nft add table ip test-ip4
 # nft add chain ip test-ip4 output { type filter hook output priority 0; }
 # nft add rule  ip test-ip4 output quota 1025 bytes

Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b26f9f at [<7f4473f8>]
Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xb832e824
Internal error: : 1 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Hardware name: BCM2835
[<7f4473fc>] (nft_quota_do_init [nft_quota])
[<7f447448>] (nft_quota_init [nft_quota])
[<7f4260d0>] (nf_tables_newrule [nf_tables])
[<7f4168dc>] (nfnetlink_rcv_batch [nfnetlink])

[<8071bd18>] (___sys_sendmsg)
[<8071ce3c>] (__sys_sendmsg)
[<8071ce94>] (sys_sendmsg)

The reason is that nft_quota_do_init() calls atomic64_set() on an
atomic64_t which is only aligned to 32-bit, not 64-bit, because it
succeeds struct nft_expr in memory which only contains a 32-bit pointer.
Fix by aligning the nft_expr private data to 64-bit.
