From: Paolo Abeni Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 11:19:00 +0000 (+0100) Subject: netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in getsockopt() X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0abb05a8cfd498a24ff4d290966e22fda3ee08e5;p=pandora-kernel.git netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in getsockopt() commit 01ea306f2ac2baff98d472da719193e738759d93 upstream. The Syzbot reported a possible deadlock in the netfilter area caused by rtnl lock, xt lock and socket lock being acquired with a different order on different code paths, leading to the following backtrace: Reviewed-by: Xin Long ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 4.15.0+ #301 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ syzkaller233489/4179 is trying to acquire lock: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<0000000048e996fd>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20 net/core/rtnetlink.c:74 but task is already holding lock: (&xt[i].mutex){+.+.}, at: [<00000000328553a2>] xt_find_table_lock+0x3e/0x3e0 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:1041 which lock already depends on the new lock. === Since commit 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock only in the required scope"), we already acquire the socket lock in the innermost scope, where needed. In such commit I forgot to remove the outer-most socket lock from the getsockopt() path, this commit addresses the issues dropping it now. v1 -> v2: fix bad subj, added relavant 'fixes' tag Fixes: 22265a5c3c10 ("netfilter: xt_TEE: resolve oif using netdevice notifiers") Fixes: 202f59afd441 ("netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: do not hold dev") Fixes: 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock only in the required scope") Reported-by: syzbot+ddde1c7b7ff7442d7f2d@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Suggested-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
