From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7707a4d01a648e4c655101a469c956cb11273655 ] While existing code is correct, KCSAN is reporting a data-race in netlink_insert / netlink_sendmsg [1] It is correct to read nlk->bound without a lock, as netlink_autobind() will acquire all needed locks. [1] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in netlink_insert / netlink_sendmsg write to 0xffff8881031c8b30 of 1 bytes by task 18752 on cpu 0: netlink_insert+0x5cc/0x7f0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:597 netlink_autobind+0xa9/0x150 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:842 netlink_sendmsg+0x479/0x7c0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1892 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:703 [inline] sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:723 [inline] ____sys_sendmsg+0x360/0x4d0 net/socket.c:2392 ___sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2446 [inline] __sys_sendmsg+0x1ed/0x270 net/socket.c:2475 __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2484 [inline] __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2482 [inline] __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x42/0x50 net/socket.c:2482 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae read to 0xffff8881031c8b30 of 1 bytes by task 18751 on cpu 1: netlink_sendmsg+0x270/0x7c0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1891 sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:703 [inline] sock_sendmsg net/socket.c:723 [inline] __sys_sendto+0x2a8/0x370 net/socket.c:2019 __do_sys_sendto net/socket.c:2031 [inline] __se_sys_sendto net/socket.c:2027 [inline] __x64_sys_sendto+0x74/0x90 net/socket.c:2027 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae value changed: 0x00 -> 0x01 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 1 PID: 18751 Comm: syz-executor.0 Not tainted 5.14.0-rc1-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 Fixes: da314c9923fe ("netlink: Replace rhash_portid with bound") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
