Hi,

Was fuzzing Linus v3.17-rc2-89-g59753a8 with Trinity as the root user
in qemu, when I hit the following assertion failures.

Yep,  looks like ipv6_dev_ac_inc() and __ipv6_dev_ac_dec() are called
without RNTL in the socket option path and with RTNL in the address
configuration path.  So it look like this this can actually trigger
list corruptions.

I think we should just use rtnl_lock() instead of rcu_read_lock() there,
it is not a hot path worth optimization.

Please try the attached patch.

note: it doesn't build as it is now, it needs:

-EXPORT_SYMBOL(dev_get_by_flags_rcu);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(dev_get_by_flags);


I just tried your patch with a basic test program (open
socket/join/leave/close and open socket/join/close).

I think you need to modify ipv6_sock_ac_close as well, or you can still
trigger the assertion when closing the socket without leaving first.

Modified patch attached.

You are absolutely right here.

Can I have your Signed-off-by and Tested-by before sending the patch
formally?

Thanks!

Sorry, just had time to look at this.

The reason is not to have list corruption but that the calls down to
ndo_set_rx_mode expect rtnl to be locked by the drivers. Filter lists
are locked by addr_list_lock and that's why I think we never saw any
problems with that, but drivers expect rtnl locked for those calls.

But this problem also affects multicast join, so patch seems incomplete
to me (and for that matter ssm multicast join, too).

Also rtnl_lock and rcu_read_lock compose in that order, so we don't need
to change dev_get_by_flags, but as this is the only user it sure is
possible. RCU locked version is just easier composeable, so I wouldn't
touch that if needed in future, just also take rcu lock as before.

So just adding rtnl_lock add appropriate places seems to be ok to me,
but still need to review parts of the ssm code.

Also we should move ASSERT_RTNL checks from addrconf_join_solict to
ipv6_dev_mc_inc/dec.

Thanks,
Hannes

Thanks for explaining.

I had a look at what you suggested.


So, for anycast, on top of the previous patch, we'd have:

---


And for multicast:
 - locking order in the patch below: rtnl -> rcu -> ipv6_sk_mc_lock
 - ipv6_sock_mc_join: maybe move all the _unlock()'s together at the end of the function
 - do we need to modify rcu_dereference_protected in ipv6_sock_mc_drop/ipv6_sock_mc_close
 - I had a look at the other codepaths that call ipv6_dev_mc_inc/dec
   - ipv6_mc_destroy_dev, dev_forward_change, ipv6_add_dev,
     addrconf_join_solict -- all take rtnl or already have an
     ASSERT_RTNL()
   - pndisc_destructor, called from pneigh_ifdown/pneigh_delete
   - pndisc_constructor, called from pneigh_lookup -- pneigh_lookup
     has ASSERT_RTNL(), but pneigh_lookup is called from ip6_forward and
     ndisc_recv_na
   - (hope I didn't miss any callers)

As far as I could see, apart maybe from pndisc_constructor, it seems
okay, but I'd like to hear your comments.

Ah, these have creat = 0, so it's fine. I missed that earlier.

Sorry for the noise.

ASSERT_RTNL() still performs a runtime check. While those are not really
fast paths, I still think it is better to keep them to a minimum and
place them only at places where we know all code which needs to be
guarded passes by:

I would suggest to move ASSERT_RTNL to ipv6_dev_mc_inc and
__ipv6_dev_mc_dec and even remove the checks from addrconf_join_solict
and addrconf_leave_solict. Does that cover all code paths and makes
sense?

The rest of the patch looks good.

Can you or Cong post a final patch with the adapted ac_join/drop
changes?

[PATCH] ipv6: fix rtnl locking in setsockopt for anycast and multicast

[Sabrina Dubroca]

Calling setsockopt with IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST or IPV6_LEAVE_ANYCAST
triggers the assertion in addrconf_join_solict()/addrconf_leave_solict()

ipv6_sock_ac_join(), ipv6_sock_ac_drop(), ipv6_sock_ac_close() need to
take RTNL before calling ipv6_dev_ac_inc/dec. Same thing with
ipv6_sock_mc_join(), ipv6_sock_mc_drop(), ipv6_sock_mc_close() before
calling ipv6_dev_mc_inc/dec.

This patch moves ASSERT_RTNL() up a level in the call stack.

I included Cong's Signed-off-by for the first part of the patch,
I hope that's OK.

This patch is based on -next, but since the assertion can also be
triggered on a current kernel (tested on a 3.16), I think it should
also go in stable.

Ack, thus you should base the patch on the net tree.

I don't have a very strong opinion on that, but think we shouldn't touch
this function. In general it looks like a useful one and if you force
rtnl lock on it you cannot call it from bh anymore. I think we should
keep rcu locking here and in the anycast code. It shouldn't matter much.

We would need to keep rcu_read_lock inside rtnl_lock if you decide to
keep dev_get_by_flags_rcu around.

Minor nit:
This one is not necessary and will be guarded by the __ipv6_dev_mc_dec
one.

Rest looks good to me, thanks,

[PATCH net v2] ipv6: fix rtnl locking in setsockopt for anycast and multicast

[Sabrina Dubroca]

Calling setsockopt with IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST or IPV6_LEAVE_ANYCAST
triggers the assertion in addrconf_join_solict()/addrconf_leave_solict()

ipv6_sock_ac_join(), ipv6_sock_ac_drop(), ipv6_sock_ac_close() need to
take RTNL before calling ipv6_dev_ac_inc/dec. Same thing with
ipv6_sock_mc_join(), ipv6_sock_mc_drop(), ipv6_sock_mc_close() before
calling ipv6_dev_mc_inc/dec.

This patch moves ASSERT_RTNL() up a level in the call stack.

As was said earlier, this should go in stable.

v2:
 - based on net
 - keep dev_get_by_flags_rcu and RCU in ipv6_sock_ac_*
 - remove two ASSERT_RTNL() that are not necessary

Thank you for your help, Hannes!

There is no point to keep RCU here. Hannes' reply doesn't make

I believe you applied a wrong version, at least the following
is not correct:

+       if (!dev)
+               return -ENODEV;

Sabrina took that from my draft patch, but they all don't
realize this is wrong.

(I did provide a correct version which is just ignored by you.)

What games are you playing? You know how patches are processed by David
and I even let him the choice by pointing out a problem in your patch so
that you could an update and send v2.

I really feel miffed about your behavior!

Anyway, I saw the hunk adding the return -ENODEV and didn't see any
problems with it. Sure it might be better if it would gone into a
separate patch. Can you elaborate what problems you see?

Thanks,
Hannes

I assume David goes over all the discussion before applying any patch.
So in the original discussion, obviously I disagree with your point on RCU,
and sent my own version.

I do understand David may miss something due to massive emails in
this list, but you make no point here nor I understand your broken English
"let him the choice...".

I thought the retention of RCU locking was reasonable, and that your
feedback was something I disagreed with.

This is different from ignoring your feedback.

The point is we don't need to backport the patch that far, as I already
mentioned, up to  commit c15b1ccadb323ea
("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue"),
simply because no one reports any bug.

So we don't have to adjust the patch just for stable in this case.

Not ignored, but rather it was hard to interpret the situation due to
poor communication in the feedback emails.

The onus is on you guys to communicate things precisely so that I
understand what patch is in what state.

There is no point to keep RCU read lock if we have rtnl lock,
I don't know why you don't want to change dev_get_by_flags(),
it is pretty easy to do since it only has one caller.

Even if you really need RCU in future, you are always welcome
to bring it back when you do, sorry we should never be blocked by
code NOT merged yet.

I definitely don't have a problem cleaning this up in net-next. I wanted
a minimal patch for stable because I didn't check history where and when
additional users of dev_get_by_flags_rcu were removed.

It is just one logical change, moving ASSERT_RTNLs to places where they
better catch invalid callstacks.

`git grep` should show you we only have one caller. Apparently we don't
care about any out-of-tree module.

Point is : you did not check if some stable versions had more callers.

Its very nice you checked current version, but it is not enough for a
stable candidate.

That is what we do when backporting patches, I can do that if David asks
me to backport it, but you know for netdev that is David's work.

(I am not saying I don't want to help him, I just want to point out the fact.
I am very pleased to help David for stable backports as long as he asks)

Problem is : your patch submission do not identify bug origin.

You claim you want to help, but you do not provide the basic thing that
_really_ helps.

The proper way to identify bug origin is to add in the headers one
line :

Fixes: 12-digit-SHA1 ("patch title")

Since when "Fixes:" tag becomes mandatory for a stable patch?
At least netdev-FAQ is not updated. ;-) I 100% agree "Fixes:"
is helpful when backporting patches, but it is not mandatory currently.

For this patch, I was too lazy to dig the history, it looks like this is
caused by the following commit:

commit c15b1ccadb323ea50023e8f1cca2954129a62b51
Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 27 18:28:07 2014 +0100

    ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue

Instead of helping after the fact, why not arrange the patches so that it's
not such a big issue.  Leave the _rcu variant alone.  Add an _rtnl variant
of the function and use that in the patch.  Have a follow-on patch that
removes the _rcu variant all by itself.  This way backports become easier,
and if anyone wants the _rcu variant back, all they have to do is revert
a very simple commit.

Sure, I don't care about out-of-tree modules either. I just wanted to
make it easier to backport. Current patch is almost headache free to

Those ASSERT_RTNLs were misplaced and only caught the callers mostly
from addrconf.c. I don't mind getting reports from stable kernel users
and fixing those, too (or help fixing those). ASSERT_RTNL is not
dangerous.

We had a long history in not correctly using rtnl lock in ipv6/multicast
code and those wrongfully placed ASSERT_RTNLs were my bad when I fixed
the duplicate address detection handling.

If enough multicast addresses are subscribed to an interface we might
again get those splats because enabling promisc mode on an interface
will also check for rtnl lock.

Bye,
Hannes

Sure, I never doubt adding ASSERT_RTNL() is helpful, I just still think
this should be for net-next, or at least a separated patch. I don't want
my patch to be blamed in others' "Fixes:". :)

Come on, that's why we have community review. Nobody blames anyone
because of added regressions. It's more a fault of the community then,
and it works out fairly good I think! Even others are keen on fixing
your bugs sometimes. ;)

If fixes tag is well researched, it won't point to the addition of
ASSERT_RTNL() but your patch would help to discover a bug somewhere else
in the stack.

I think for this patch a fixes-tag is hard to find because it is hard to
find because it dates back to the beginning of the git history IMHO.

Hannes

As I replied to Eric, this warning is probably caused by
the following commit:

commit c15b1ccadb323ea50023e8f1cca2954129a62b51
Author: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 27 18:28:07 2014 +0100

    ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue


HOWEVER, you can definitely argue that the code without your
ASSERT_RTNL() was already broken, it's a little hard to tell without
digging more, that might date back to the beginning of git as you said.

For safety, I think we can simply assume it's that commit to be fixed
so that we don't fix older kernels until someone really reports a bug.
