This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sched: fix refcount imbalance in actions to the 4.1-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: net-sched-fix-refcount-imbalance-in-actions.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.1 subdirectory. 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 Sep 26 11:13:07 PDT 2015 From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2015 23:35:25 +0200 Subject: net: sched: fix refcount imbalance in actions From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 28e6b67f0b292f557468c139085303b15f1a678f ] Since commit 55334a5db5cd ("net_sched: act: refuse to remove bound action outside"), we end up with a wrong reference count for a tc action. Test case 1: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," BAR="1,6 0 0 4294967294," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 \ action bpf bytecode "$FOO" tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$BAR" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967294' default-action pipe index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$FOO" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 3 bind 1 Test case 2: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action ok tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 3 bind 1 What happens is that in tcf_hash_check(), we check tcf_common for a given index and increase tcfc_refcnt and conditionally tcfc_bindcnt when we've found an existing action. Now there are the following cases: 1) We do a late binding of an action. In that case, we leave the tcfc_refcnt/tcfc_bindcnt increased and are done with the ->init() handler. This is correctly handeled. 2) We replace the given action, or we try to add one without replacing and find out that the action at a specific index already exists (thus, we go out with error in that case). In case of 2), we have to undo the reference count increase from tcf_hash_check() in the tcf_hash_check() function. Currently, we fail to do so because of the 'tcfc_bindcnt > 0' check which bails out early with an -EPERM error. Now, while commit 55334a5db5cd prevents 'tc actions del action ...' on an already classifier-bound action to drop the reference count (which could then become negative, wrap around etc), this restriction only accounts for invocations outside a specific action's ->init() handler. One possible solution would be to add a flag thus we possibly trigger the -EPERM ony in situations where it is indeed relevant. After the patch, above test cases have correct reference count again.
