This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netlink: annotate accesses to nlk->cb_running to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netlink-annotate-accesses-to-nlk-cb_running.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit dc454f777e4cf009bc6c4cdc56bbbd77f4e0917b Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 9 16:56:34 2023 +0000 netlink: annotate accesses to nlk->cb_running [ Upstream commit a939d14919b799e6fff8a9c80296ca229ba2f8a4 ] Both netlink_recvmsg() and netlink_native_seq_show() read nlk->cb_running locklessly. Use READ_ONCE() there. Add corresponding WRITE_ONCE() to netlink_dump() and __netlink_dump_start() syzbot reported: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __netlink_dump_start / netlink_recvmsg write to 0xffff88813ea4db59 of 1 bytes by task 28219 on cpu 0: __netlink_dump_start+0x3af/0x4d0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2399 netlink_dump_start include/linux/netlink.h:308 [inline] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x70f/0x8c0 net/core/rtnetlink.c:6130 netlink_rcv_skb+0x126/0x220 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2577 rtnetlink_rcv+0x1c/0x20 net/core/rtnetlink.c:6192 netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1339 [inline] netlink_unicast+0x56f/0x640 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1365 netlink_sendmsg+0x665/0x770 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1942 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:724 [inline] sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:747 [inline] sock_write_iter+0x1aa/0x230 net/socket.c:1138 call_write_iter include/linux/fs.h:1851 [inline] new_sync_write fs/read_write.c:491 [inline] vfs_write+0x463/0x760 fs/read_write.c:584 ksys_write+0xeb/0x1a0 fs/read_write.c:637 __do_sys_write fs/read_write.c:649 [inline] __se_sys_write fs/read_write.c:646 [inline] __x64_sys_write+0x42/0x50 fs/read_write.c:646 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd read to 0xffff88813ea4db59 of 1 bytes by task 28222 on cpu 1: netlink_recvmsg+0x3b4/0x730 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2022 sock_recvmsg_nosec+0x4c/0x80 net/socket.c:1017 ____sys_recvmsg+0x2db/0x310 net/socket.c:2718 ___sys_recvmsg net/socket.c:2762 [inline] do_recvmmsg+0x2e5/0x710 net/socket.c:2856 __sys_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2935 [inline] __do_sys_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2958 [inline] __se_sys_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2951 [inline] __x64_sys_recvmmsg+0xe2/0x160 net/socket.c:2951 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd value changed: 0x00 -> 0x01 Fixes: 16b304f3404f ("netlink: Eliminate kmalloc in netlink dump operation.")
