[Antonio Quartulli]

Hello David,

here you have a bunch of patches intended for net.

This patchset is provided by Sven Eckelmann and it is basically
fixing 2 major issues that exist in several parts of the code -
that is why we have 8 patches.

The first bugfix (patch 1 and 2) is preventing call_rcu from
being invoked recursively. This would deceive any user waiting
on rcu_barrier() because the latter won't be able to wait for
the nested invocation thus triggering any sort of undefined
behaviours.

The second bugfix (patches from 3 to 8) prevents the code from
freeing rcu protected objects without waiting for the proper grace
period. This issue can potentially lead to wrong memory access
and thus kernel crashes.

Unfortunately this bogus code pattern was copy/pasted
all around the place when developing new features, therefore
Sven diligently created several patches to address each component
independently.



Given that such bugs were introduced quite some time ago, all
the patches except patch 5 should be considered for submission
to stable.



Please pull or let me know of any issue!
Thanks a lot,
	Antonio

[PATCH 1/8] batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_bla_claim

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The batadv_claim_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free of the
batadv_bla_claim object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is enabled
anymore. This makes sure that no context is still trying to access the
object which should be removed. But batadv_bla_claim also contains a
reference to backbone_gw which must be removed.

The reference drop of backbone_gw was done in the call_rcu function
batadv_claim_free_rcu but should actually be done in the
batadv_claim_release function to avoid nested call_rcus. This is important
because rcu_barrier (e.g. batadv_softif_free or batadv_exit) will not
detect the inner call_rcu as relevant for its execution. Otherwise this
barrier will most likely be inserted in the queue before the callback of
the first call_rcu was executed. The caller of rcu_barrier will therefore
continue to run before the inner call_rcu callback finished.

[PATCH 3/8] batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_orig_ifinfo free function

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_orig_ifinfo_free_ref.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 4/8] batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_neigh_node free function

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_neigh_node_free_ref.

[PATCH 7/8] batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free function

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_hardif_free_ref.

Pulled, but you really need to sort something out.

You give really nice detailed, high level, descriptions of
your changes here in this pull request.  It is awesome.

But then you include other text in the merge commit I end
up getting when I pull.  I don't want that _UNLESS_ it's
exactly what you're saying here in this email and therefore
is what I would have put there anyways.

When I did this time is just concatenate them together and therefore
including both things.  But I don't want to have to even think about
this in the future.

Just let me include what you say in this email or put exactly this
text into that merge commit.

Thanks.

Thanks for explaining this, David.

Next time I'll put in the git tag the same text as the email (I'll just
drop references to patch numbers because those are not really useful in
the git log).

Thanks for explaining this, David.

Next time I'll put in the git tag the same text as the email (I'll just
drop references to patch numbers because those are not really useful in
the git log).

Hello David,

here you have a bunch of patches intended for net.

This patchset is provided by Sven Eckelmann and it is basically
fixing 2 major issues that exist in several parts of the code -
that is why we have 8 patches.

The first bugfix (patch 1 and 2) is preventing call_rcu from
being invoked recursively. This would deceive any user waiting
on rcu_barrier() because the latter won't be able to wait for
the nested invocation thus triggering any sort of undefined
behaviours.

The second bugfix (patches from 3 to 8) prevents the code from
freeing rcu protected objects without waiting for the proper grace
period. This issue can potentially lead to wrong memory access
and thus kernel crashes.

Unfortunately this bogus code pattern was copy/pasted
all around the place when developing new features, therefore
Sven diligently created several patches to address each component
independently.



Given that such bugs were introduced quite some time ago, all
the patches except patch 5 should be considered for submission
to stable.



Please pull or let me know of any issue!
Thanks a lot,
	Antonio
