We report the crash: KASAN: null-ptr-deref Read in rds_ib_get_mr Note that this bug is previously reported by syzkaller. https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=0bb56a5a48b000b52aa2b0d8dd20b1f545214d91 Nonetheless, this bug has not fixed yet, and we hope that this report and our analysis, which gets help by the RaceFuzzer's feature, will helpful to fix the crash. This crash has been found in v4.17-rc1 using RaceFuzzer (a modified version of Syzkaller), which we describe more at the end of this report. Our analysis shows that the race occurs when invoking two syscalls concurrently, bind$rds and setsockopt$RDS_GET_MR. Analysis: We think the concurrent execution of __rds_rdma_map() and rds_bind() causes the problem. __rds_rdma_map() checks whether rs->rs_bound_addr is 0 or not. But the concurrent execution with rds_bind() can by-pass this check. Therefore, __rds_rdmap_map() calls rs->rs_transport->get_mr() and rds_ib_get_mr() causes the null deref at ib_rdma.c:544 in v4.17-rc1, when dereferencing rs_conn.

While we leverage many different technique, the notable feature of RaceFuzzer is in leveraging a custom hypervisor (QEMU/KVM) to interleave the scheduling. In particular, we modified the hypervisor to intentionally stall a per-core execution, which is similar to supporting per-core breakpoint functionality. This allows RaceFuzzer to force the kernel to deterministically trigger racy condition (which may rarely happen in practice due to randomness in scheduling). RaceFuzzer's C repro always pinpoints two racy syscalls. Since C repro's scheduling synchronization should be performed at the user space, its reproducibility is limited (reproduction may take from 1 second to 10 minutes (or even more), depending on a bug). This is because, while RaceFuzzer precisely interleaves the scheduling at the kernel's instruction level when finding this bug, C repro cannot fully utilize such a feature. Please disregard all code related to "should_hypercall" in the C repro, as this is only for our debugging purposes using our own hypervisor. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
