vhost_zerocopy_callback accesses VQ right after it drops a ubuf reference. In theory, this could race with device removal which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash on use after free. Do all accesses within rcu read side critical section, and synchronize on release. Since callbacks are always invoked from bh, synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help release complete a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This is was previously posted as part of patch series, but it's an independent fix really. Theoretical race so not needed for stable I think. changes from v1: fixed typo in commit log drivers/vhost/net.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/vhost/net.c b/drivers/vhost/net.c index b12176f..f1be80d 100644 --- a/drivers/vhost/net.c +++ b/drivers/vhost/net.c @@ -308,6 +308,8 @@ static void vhost_zerocopy_callback(struct ubuf_info *ubuf, bool success) struct vhost_virtqueue *vq = ubufs->vq; int cnt; + rcu_read_lock_bh(); + /* set len to mark this desc buffers done DMA */ vq->heads[ubuf->desc].len = success ?
