If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Dec 19 11:44:48 AM CET 2020 From: Joseph Huang <Joseph.Huang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 18:56:28 -0500 Subject: bridge: Fix a deadlock when enabling multicast snooping From: Joseph Huang <Joseph.Huang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 851d0a73c90e6c8c63fef106c6c1e73df7e05d9d ] When enabling multicast snooping, bridge module deadlocks on multicast_lock if 1) IPv6 is enabled, and 2) there is an existing querier on the same L2 network. The deadlock was caused by the following sequence: While holding the lock, br_multicast_open calls br_multicast_join_snoopers, which eventually causes IP stack to (attempt to) send out a Listener Report (in igmp6_join_group). Since the destination Ethernet address is a multicast address, br_dev_xmit feeds the packet back to the bridge via br_multicast_rcv, which in turn calls br_multicast_add_group, which then deadlocks on multicast_lock. The fix is to move the call br_multicast_join_snoopers outside of the critical section. This works since br_multicast_join_snoopers only deals with IP and does not modify any multicast data structures of the bridge, so there's no need to hold the lock. Steps to reproduce: 1. sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.force_mld_version=1 2. have another querier 3. ip link set dev bridge type bridge mcast_snooping 0 && \ ip link set dev bridge type bridge mcast_snooping 1 < deadlock > A typical call trace looks like the following: [ 936.251495] _raw_spin_lock+0x5c/0x68 [ 936.255221] br_multicast_add_group+0x40/0x170 [bridge] [ 936.260491] br_multicast_rcv+0x7ac/0xe30 [bridge] [ 936.265322] br_dev_xmit+0x140/0x368 [bridge] [ 936.269689] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x94/0x158 [ 936.273876] __dev_queue_xmit+0x5ac/0x7f8 [ 936.277890] dev_queue_xmit+0x10/0x18 [ 936.281563] neigh_resolve_output+0xec/0x198 [ 936.285845] ip6_finish_output2+0x240/0x710 [ 936.290039] __ip6_finish_output+0x130/0x170 [ 936.294318] ip6_output+0x6c/0x1c8 [ 936.297731] NF_HOOK.constprop.0+0xd8/0xe8 [ 936.301834] igmp6_send+0x358/0x558 [ 936.305326] igmp6_join_group.part.0+0x30/0xf0 [ 936.309774] igmp6_group_added+0xfc/0x110 [ 936.313787] __ipv6_dev_mc_inc+0x1a4/0x290 [ 936.317885] ipv6_dev_mc_inc+0x10/0x18 [ 936.321677] br_multicast_open+0xbc/0x110 [bridge] [ 936.326506] br_multicast_toggle+0xec/0x140 [bridge] Fixes: 4effd28c1245 ("bridge: join all-snoopers multicast address") Signed-off-by: Joseph Huang <Joseph.Huang@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201204235628.50653-1-Joseph.Huang@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/bridge/br_device.c | 6 ++++++ net/bridge/br_multicast.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- net/bridge/br_private.h | 10 ++++++++++ 3 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) --- a/net/bridge/br_device.c +++ b/net/bridge/br_device.c @@ -168,6 +168,9 @@ static int br_dev_open(struct net_device br_stp_enable_bridge(br); br_multicast_open(br); + if (br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED)) + br_multicast_join_snoopers(br); + return 0; } @@ -188,6 +191,9 @@ static int br_dev_stop(struct net_device br_stp_disable_bridge(br); br_multicast_stop(br); + if (br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED)) + br_multicast_leave_snoopers(br); + netif_stop_queue(dev); return 0; --- a/net/bridge/br_multicast.c +++ b/net/bridge/br_multicast.c @@ -1848,7 +1848,7 @@ static inline void br_ip6_multicast_join } #endif -static void br_multicast_join_snoopers(struct net_bridge *br) +void br_multicast_join_snoopers(struct net_bridge *br) { br_ip4_multicast_join_snoopers(br); br_ip6_multicast_join_snoopers(br); @@ -1879,7 +1879,7 @@ static inline void br_ip6_multicast_leav } #endif -static void br_multicast_leave_snoopers(struct net_bridge *br) +void br_multicast_leave_snoopers(struct net_bridge *br) { br_ip4_multicast_leave_snoopers(br); br_ip6_multicast_leave_snoopers(br); @@ -1898,9 +1898,6 @@ static void __br_multicast_open(struct n void br_multicast_open(struct net_bridge *br) { - if (br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED)) - br_multicast_join_snoopers(br); - __br_multicast_open(br, &br->ip4_own_query); #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) __br_multicast_open(br, &br->ip6_own_query); @@ -1916,9 +1913,6 @@ void br_multicast_stop(struct net_bridge del_timer_sync(&br->ip6_other_query.timer); del_timer_sync(&br->ip6_own_query.timer); #endif - - if (br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED)) - br_multicast_leave_snoopers(br); } void br_multicast_dev_del(struct net_bridge *br) @@ -2049,6 +2043,7 @@ static void br_multicast_start_querier(s int br_multicast_toggle(struct net_bridge *br, unsigned long val) { struct net_bridge_port *port; + bool change_snoopers = false; spin_lock_bh(&br->multicast_lock); if (!!br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED) == !!val) @@ -2057,7 +2052,7 @@ int br_multicast_toggle(struct net_bridg br_mc_disabled_update(br->dev, val); br_opt_toggle(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED, !!val); if (!br_opt_get(br, BROPT_MULTICAST_ENABLED)) { - br_multicast_leave_snoopers(br); + change_snoopers = true; goto unlock; } @@ -2068,9 +2063,30 @@ int br_multicast_toggle(struct net_bridg list_for_each_entry(port, &br->port_list, list) __br_multicast_enable_port(port); + change_snoopers = true; + unlock: spin_unlock_bh(&br->multicast_lock); + /* br_multicast_join_snoopers has the potential to cause + * an MLD Report/Leave to be delivered to br_multicast_rcv, + * which would in turn call br_multicast_add_group, which would + * attempt to acquire multicast_lock.
