net: Fix possible race in peernet2id_alloc()
peernet2id_alloc() is racy without rtnl_lock() as refcount_read(&peer->count) under net->nsid_lock does not guarantee, peer is alive: rcu_read_lock() peernet2id_alloc() .. spin_lock_bh(&net->nsid_lock) .. refcount_read(&peer->count) (!= 0) .. .. put_net() .. cleanup_net() .. for_each_net(tmp) .. spin_lock_bh(&tmp->nsid_lock) .. __peernet2id(tmp, net) == -1 .. .. .. .. __peernet2id_alloc(alloc == true) .. .. .. rcu_read_unlock() .. .. synchronize_rcu() .. kmem_cache_free(net) After the above situation, net::netns_id contains id pointing to freed memory, and any other dereferencing by the id will operate with this freed memory. Currently, peernet2id_alloc() is used under rtnl_lock() everywhere except ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info(), and this race can't occur. But peernet2id_alloc() is generic interface, and better we fix it before someone really starts use it in wrong context. v2: Don't place refcount_read(&net->count) under net->nsid_lock as suggested by Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> v3: Rebase on top of net-next Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
