[PATCH 5.4 28/68] Fix double fget() in vhost_net_set_backend()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fb4554c2232e44d595920f4d5c66cf8f7d13f9bc upstream.

Descriptor table is a shared resource; two fget() on the same descriptor
may return different struct file references.  get_tap_ptr_ring() is
called after we'd found (and pinned) the socket we'll be using and it
tries to find the private tun/tap data structures associated with it.
Redoing the lookup by the same file descriptor we'd used to get the
socket is racy - we need to same struct file.

Thanks to Jason for spotting a braino in the original variant of patch -
I'd missed the use of fd == -1 for disabling backend, and in that case
we can end up with sock == NULL and sock != oldsock.
