Subject: l2tp: fix race condition in l2tp_tunnel_delete
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 62b982eeb4589b2e6d7c01a90590e3a4c2b2ca19 ]
If we try to delete the same tunnel twice, the first delete operation
does a lookup (l2tp_tunnel_get), finds the tunnel, calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete, which queues it for deletion by
l2tp_tunnel_del_work.
The second delete operation also finds the tunnel and calls
l2tp_tunnel_delete. If the workqueue has already fired and started
running l2tp_tunnel_del_work, then l2tp_tunnel_delete will queue the
same tunnel a second time, and try to free the socket again.
Add a dead flag to prevent firing the workqueue twice. Then we can
remove the check of queue_work's result that was meant to prevent that
race but doesn't.
Reproducer:
ip l2tp add tunnel tunnel_id 3000 peer_tunnel_id 4000 local 192.168.0.2 remote 192.168.0.1 encap udp udp_sport 5000 udp_dport 6000
ip l2tp add session name l2tp1 tunnel_id 3000 session_id 1000 peer_session_id 2000
ip link set l2tp1 up
ip l2tp del tunnel tunnel_id 3000
ip l2tp del tunnel tunnel_id 3000
