[PATCH v3] RDMA/core: Fix race when resolving IP address

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use neighbour lock when copying MAC address from neighbour data struct
in dst_fetch_ha.

When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update, causing it to copy an invalid MAC address.

It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.

This will cause the race shown it the following sample trace:

rdma_resolve_addr()
  rdma_resolve_ip()
    addr_resolve()
      addr_resolve_neigh()
        fetch_ha()
          dst_fetch_ha()
            n->nud_state == NUD_VALID

and

net_ioctl()
  arp_ioctl()
    arp_rec_delete()
      arp_invalidate()
        neigh_update()
          __neigh_update()
            neigh->nud_state = new;

v1 -> v2:
   * Modified implementation to improve readability

v2 -> v3:
   * Added sample trace as suggested by Parav Pandit
   * Added Reviewed-by
