3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e89d469e3be3ed3d7124a803211a463ff83d0964 upstream. The below commit added a call to ->destroy() on init failure, but multiq still frees ->queues on error in init, but ->queues is also freed by ->destroy() thus we get double free and corrupted memory. Very easy to reproduce (eth0 not multiqueue): $ tc qdisc add dev eth0 root multiq RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported $ ip l add dumdum type dummy (crash) Trace log: [ 3929.467747] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 3929.468083] Modules linked in: [ 3929.468302] CPU: 3 PID: 967 Comm: ip Not tainted 4.13.0-rc6+ #56 [ 3929.468625] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.7.5-20140531_083030-gandalf 04/01/2014 [ 3929.469124] task: ffff88003716a700 task.stack: ffff88005872c000 [ 3929.469449] RIP: 0010:__kmalloc_track_caller+0x117/0x1be [ 3929.469746] RSP: 0018:ffff88005872f6a0 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 3929.470042] RAX: 00000000000002de RBX: 0000000058a59000 RCX: 00000000000002df [ 3929.470406] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffff821f7020 [ 3929.470770] RBP: ffff88005872f6e8 R08: 000000000001f010 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 3929.471133] R10: ffff88005872f730 R11: 0000000000008cdd R12: ff006d75646d7564 [ 3929.471496] R13: 00000000014000c0 R14: ffff88005b403c00 R15: ffff88005b403c00 [ 3929.471869] FS: 00007f0b70480740(0000) GS:ffff88005d980000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 3929.472286] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 3929.472677] CR2: 00007ffcee4f3000 CR3: 0000000059d45000 CR4: 00000000000406e0 [ 3929.473209] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 3929.474109] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 3929.474873] Call Trace: [ 3929.475337] ? kstrdup_const+0x23/0x25 [ 3929.475863] kstrdup+0x2e/0x4b [ 3929.476338] kstrdup_const+0x23/0x25 [ 3929.478084] __kernfs_new_node+0x28/0xbc [ 3929.478478] kernfs_new_node+0x35/0x55 [ 3929.478929] kernfs_create_link+0x23/0x76 [ 3929.479478] sysfs_do_create_link_sd.isra.2+0x85/0xd7 [ 3929.480096] sysfs_create_link+0x33/0x35 [ 3929.480649] device_add+0x200/0x589 [ 3929.481184] netdev_register_kobject+0x7c/0x12f [ 3929.481711] register_netdevice+0x373/0x471 [ 3929.482174] rtnl_newlink+0x614/0x729 [ 3929.482610] ? rtnl_newlink+0x17f/0x729 [ 3929.483080] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x188/0x197 [ 3929.483533] ? rcu_read_unlock+0x3e/0x5f [ 3929.483984] ? rtnl_newlink+0x729/0x729 [ 3929.484420] netlink_rcv_skb+0x6c/0xce [ 3929.484858] rtnetlink_rcv+0x23/0x2a [ 3929.485291] netlink_unicast+0x103/0x181 [ 3929.485735] netlink_sendmsg+0x326/0x337 [ 3929.486181] sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x14/0x3f [ 3929.486614] sock_sendmsg+0x29/0x2e [ 3929.486973] ___sys_sendmsg+0x209/0x28b [ 3929.487340] ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xcd/0xf8 [ 3929.487719] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x27/0x31 [ 3929.488092] ? __handle_mm_fault+0x651/0xdb1 [ 3929.488471] ? check_chain_key+0xb0/0xfd [ 3929.488847] __sys_sendmsg+0x45/0x63 [ 3929.489206] ? __sys_sendmsg+0x45/0x63 [ 3929.489576] SyS_sendmsg+0x19/0x1b [ 3929.489901] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc2 [ 3929.490172] RIP: 0033:0x7f0b6fb93690 [ 3929.490423] RSP: 002b:00007ffcee4ed588 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000002e [ 3929.490881] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: ffffffff810d278c RCX: 00007f0b6fb93690 [ 3929.491198] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00007ffcee4ed5d0 RDI: 0000000000000003 [ 3929.491521] RBP: ffff88005872ff98 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 3929.491801] R10: 00007ffcee4ed350 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000002 [ 3929.492075] R13: 000000000066f1a0 R14: 00007ffcee4f5680 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 3929.492352] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0xa7/0xcf [ 3929.492590] Code: 8b 45 c0 48 8b 45 b8 74 17 48 8b 4d c8 83 ca ff 44 89 ee 4c 89 f7 e8 83 ca ff ff 49 89 c4 eb 49 49 63 56 20 48 8d 48 01 4d 8b 06 <49> 8b 1c 14 48 89 c2 4c 89 e0 65 49 0f c7 08 0f 94 c0 83 f0 01 [ 3929.493335] RIP: __kmalloc_track_caller+0x117/0x1be RSP: ffff88005872f6a0 Fixes: 87b60cfacf9f ("net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation") Fixes: f07d1501292b ("multiq: Further multiqueue cleanup") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
