    packet: race condition in packet_bind · 30f7ea1c
    Francesco Ruggeri authored
    There is a race conditions between packet_notifier and packet_bind{_spkt}.
    
    It happens if packet_notifier(NETDEV_UNREGISTER) executes between the
    time packet_bind{_spkt} takes a reference on the new netdevice and the
    time packet_do_bind sets po->ifindex.
    In this case the notification can be missed.
    If this happens during a dev_change_net_namespace this can result in the
    netdevice to be moved to the new namespace while the packet_sock in the
    old namespace still holds a reference on it. When the netdevice is later
    deleted in the new namespace the deletion hangs since the packet_sock
    is not found in the new namespace' &net->packet.sklist.
    It can be reproduced with the script below.
    
    This patch makes packet_do_bind check again for the presence of the
    netdevice in the packet_sock's namespace after the synchronize_net
    in unregister_prot_hook.
    More in general it also uses the rcu lock for the duration of the bind
    to stop dev_change_net_namespace/rollback_registered_many from
    going past the synchronize_net following unlist_netdevice, so that
    no NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifications can happen on the new netdevice
    while the bind is executing. In order to do this some code from
    packet_bind{_spkt} is consolidated into packet_do_dev.
    
    import socket, os, time, sys
    proto=7
    realDev='em1'
    vlanId=400
    if len(sys.argv) > 1:
       vlanId=int(sys.argv[1])
    dev='vlan%d' % vlanId
    
    os.system('taskset -p 0x10 %d' % os.getpid())
    
    s = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW, proto)
    os.system('ip link add link %s name %s type vlan id %d' %
              (realDev, dev, vlanId))
    os.system('ip netns add dummy')
    
    pid=os.fork()
    
    if pid == 0:
       # dev should be moved while packet_do_bind is in synchronize net
       os.system('taskset -p 0x20000 %d' % os.getpid())
       os.system('ip link set %s netns dummy' % dev)
       os.system('ip netns exec dummy ip link del %s' % dev)
       s.close()
       sys.exit(0)
    
    time.sleep(.004)
    try:
       s.bind(('%s' % dev, proto+1))
    except:
       print 'Could not bind socket'
       s.close()
       os.system('ip netns del dummy')
       sys.exit(0)
    
    os.waitpid(pid, 0)
    s.close()
    os.system('ip netns del dummy')
    sys.exit(0)
