4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bob Copeland <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fe7a7c57629e8dcbc0e297363a9b2366d67a6dc5 upstream.
Currently, the mesh paths associated with a nexthop station are cleaned
up in the following code path:
__sta_info_destroy_part1
synchronize_net()
__sta_info_destroy_part2
-> cleanup_single_sta
-> mesh_sta_cleanup
-> mesh_plink_deactivate
-> mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop
However, there are a couple of problems here:
1) the paths aren't flushed at all if the MPM is running in userspace
(e.g. when using wpa_supplicant or authsae)
2) there is no synchronize_rcu between removing the path and readers
accessing the nexthop, which means the following race is possible:
CPU0 CPU1
~~~~ ~~~~
sta_info_destroy_part1()
synchronize_net()
rcu_read_lock()
mesh_nexthop_resolve()
mpath = mesh_path_lookup()
[...] -> mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop()
sta = rcu_dereference(
mpath->next_hop)
kfree(sta)
access sta <-- CRASH
Fix both of these by unconditionally flushing paths before destroying
the sta, and by adding a synchronize_net() after path flush to ensure
no active readers can still dereference the sta.
Fixes this crash:
