From: Ziyang Xuan <william.xuanziyang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d0553680f94c49bbe0e39eb50d033ba563b4212d ] The conclusion "j1939_session_deactivate() should be called with a session ref-count of at least 2" is incorrect. In some concurrent scenarios, j1939_session_deactivate can be called with the session ref-count less than 2. But there is not any problem because it will check the session active state before session putting in j1939_session_deactivate_locked(). Here is the concurrent scenario of the problem reported by syzbot and my reproduction log. cpu0 cpu1 j1939_xtp_rx_eoma j1939_xtp_rx_abort_one j1939_session_get_by_addr [kref == 2] j1939_session_get_by_addr [kref == 3] j1939_session_deactivate [kref == 2] j1939_session_put [kref == 1] j1939_session_completed j1939_session_deactivate WARN_ON_ONCE(kref < 2) ===================================================== WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 21 at net/can/j1939/transport.c:1088 j1939_session_deactivate+0x5f/0x70 CPU: 1 PID: 21 Comm: ksoftirqd/1 Not tainted 5.14.0-rc7+ #32 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:j1939_session_deactivate+0x5f/0x70 Call Trace: j1939_session_deactivate_activate_next+0x11/0x28 j1939_xtp_rx_eoma+0x12a/0x180 j1939_tp_recv+0x4a2/0x510 j1939_can_recv+0x226/0x380 can_rcv_filter+0xf8/0x220 can_receive+0x102/0x220 ? process_backlog+0xf0/0x2c0 can_rcv+0x53/0xf0 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x67/0x90 ? process_backlog+0x97/0x2c0 __netif_receive_skb+0x22/0x80 Fixes: 0c71437dd50d ("can: j1939: j1939_session_deactivate(): clarify lifetime of session object") Reported-by: syzbot+9981a614060dcee6eeca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ziyang Xuan <william.xuanziyang@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210906094200.95868-1-william.xuanziyang@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/can/j1939/transport.c | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/can/j1939/transport.c b/net/can/j1939/transport.c index 78f6a9110699..57d6aac7f435 100644 --- a/net/can/j1939/transport.c +++ b/net/can/j1939/transport.c @@ -1087,10 +1087,6 @@ static bool j1939_session_deactivate(struct j1939_session *session) bool active; j1939_session_list_lock(priv); - /* This function should be called with a session ref-count of at - * least 2. - */ - WARN_ON_ONCE(kref_read(&session->kref) < 2); active = j1939_session_deactivate_locked(session); j1939_session_list_unlock(priv); -- 2.39.0
