This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ip6mr: fix stale iterator to the 4.4-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: ip6mr-fix-stale-iterator.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 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 Wed Feb 7 11:22:35 PST 2018 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:29:30 +0200 Subject: ip6mr: fix stale iterator From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4adfa79fc254efb7b0eb3cd58f62c2c3f805f1ba ] When we dump the ip6mr mfc entries via proc, we initialize an iterator with the table to dump but we don't clear the cache pointer which might be initialized from a prior read on the same descriptor that ended. This can result in lock imbalance (an unnecessary unlock) leading to other crashes and hangs. Clear the cache pointer like ipmr does to fix the issue. Thanks for the reliable reproducer. Here's syzbot's trace: WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 4.15.0-rc3+ #128 Not tainted syzkaller971460/3195 is trying to release lock (mrt_lock) at: [<000000006898068d>] ipmr_mfc_seq_stop+0xe1/0x130 net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:553 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by syzkaller971460/3195: #0: (&p->lock){+.+.}, at: [<00000000744a6565>] seq_read+0xd5/0x13d0 fs/seq_file.c:165 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 3195 Comm: syzkaller971460 Not tainted 4.15.0-rc3+ #128 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:17 [inline] dump_stack+0x194/0x257 lib/dump_stack.c:53 print_unlock_imbalance_bug+0x12f/0x140 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3561 __lock_release kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3775 [inline] lock_release+0x5f9/0xda0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4023 __raw_read_unlock include/linux/rwlock_api_smp.h:225 [inline] _raw_read_unlock+0x1a/0x30 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:255 ipmr_mfc_seq_stop+0xe1/0x130 net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:553 traverse+0x3bc/0xa00 fs/seq_file.c:135 seq_read+0x96a/0x13d0 fs/seq_file.c:189 proc_reg_read+0xef/0x170 fs/proc/inode.c:217 do_loop_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:673 [inline] do_iter_read+0x3db/0x5b0 fs/read_write.c:897 compat_readv+0x1bf/0x270 fs/read_write.c:1140 do_compat_preadv64+0xdc/0x100 fs/read_write.c:1189 C_SYSC_preadv fs/read_write.c:1209 [inline] compat_SyS_preadv+0x3b/0x50 fs/read_write.c:1203 do_syscall_32_irqs_on arch/x86/entry/common.c:327 [inline] do_fast_syscall_32+0x3ee/0xf9d arch/x86/entry/common.c:389 entry_SYSENTER_compat+0x51/0x60 arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S:125 RIP: 0023:0xf7f73c79 RSP: 002b:00000000e574a15c EFLAGS: 00000292 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000014d RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 000000000000000f RCX: 0000000020a3afb0 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000067 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at lib/usercopy.c:25 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 3195, name: syzkaller971460 INFO: lockdep is turned off.
