Subject: kcm: avoid potential race in kcm_tx_work
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ec7eede369fe5b0d085ac51fdbb95184f87bfc6c upstream.
syzbot found that kcm_tx_work() could crash [1] in:
/* Primarily for SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets */
if (likely(sk->sk_socket) &&
test_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags)) {
<<*>> clear_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags);
sk->sk_write_space(sk);
}
I think the reason is that another thread might concurrently
run in kcm_release() and call sock_orphan(sk) while sk is not
locked. kcm_tx_work() find sk->sk_socket being NULL.
