Hi all, using kernel v8.8.13.15 I see a kernel oops happening in a setup where a HTTP using TPROXY is used on a bridge interface. Also NFQUEUE is involved: [ 379.046358] Pid: 5847, comm: afcd/258 Tainted: G O 3.8.13.15-110.g4be5643-smp64 001 Astaro AG ASG/NSB2189 [ 379.046358] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa0269034>] [<ffffffffa0269034>] owner_mt+0x31/0xad [xt_owner] [ 379.046358] RSP: 0018:ffff88016b05b5f0 EFLAGS: 00210246 [ 379.046358] RAX: 0000000000002000 RBX: ffffc90014306ca8 RCX: ffffc90014306cc8 [ 379.046358] RDX: ffffc90014306c01 RSI: ffff88016b05b600 RDI: c9443747ad79b9de [ 379.046358] RBP: ffffc90014306c38 R08: ffffc90014306b68 R09: ffff88010069b0e0 [ 379.046358] R10: 0000000000000002 R11: 0000000000001000 R12: ffff8801980f9810 [ 379.046358] R13: 0000000000000004 R14: ffff8800d4022f00 R15: ffffffff8147faa0 [ 379.046358] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88019fc80000(0063) knlGS:00000000f5983b70 [ 379.046358] CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 379.046358] CR2: 00000000f5b34fa8 CR3: 000000016b115000 CR4: 00000000000007e0 [ 379.046358] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 379.046358] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 379.046358] Process afcd/258 (pid: 5847, threadinfo ffff88016b05a000, task ffff880196292520) [ 379.046358] Stack: [ 379.046358] ffffffffa015a3f1 0000000100000001 ffff880101dda1c0 00000000000005c8 [ 379.046358] ffff880101dda1c0 ffff8800db9b1e00 ffffffff812b5f73 000000000000000c [ 379.046358] 0000000000000004 ffff88019627c000 0000000000000000 0000000400000000 [ 379.046358] Call Trace: [ 379.046358] [<ffffffffa015a3f1>] ? ipt_do_table+0x286/0x5f8 [ip_tables] [ 379.046358] [<ffffffff812b5f73>] ? tcp_rcv_established+0x594/0x685 [ 379.046358] [<ffffffff8129b502>] ? nf_iterate+0x42/0x7d [ 379.046358] [<ffffffff810b5141>] ? virt_to_head_page+0x9/0x30 [ 379.046358] [<ffffffff8129c304>] ? nf_reinject+0x9c/0x131 [ 379.046358] [<ffffffff812a5576>] ? ip_finish_output2+0x2b1/0x2b1 [ 379.046358] [<ffffffffa03337e0>] ? nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x68/0x2b2 Actual OOPS is at the time owner match access VFS file on socket, from xt_owner.c:owner_mt(): filp = sk->sk_socket->file; if (filp == NULL) { And I think that owner match races with TPROXY calling sock_orphan() eventually, e. g. if system is low on memory. To be verified. I think I have fixed the issue by using a read_lock on sk->sk_callback_lock, same lock is used in sock_orphan(). Also I found xt_LOG.c:dump_sk_uid_gid() to be similar, also using sk->sk_callback_lock. I have attached the patch I am currently using. Please check, it seems to fix the issue seen. But still unsure, as not occuring often. /Holger
xt_owner: fix race with sock_orphan() By using a read_lock on sk->sk_callback_lock we can avoid Oops due to someone else calling sock_orphan() at same time on another CPU, e. g. when using TPROXY.
