net: qrtr: ns: Limit the total number of nodes

2026-05-07T04:12:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 27d5e84e810b0849d08b9aec68e48570461ce313 ] Currently, the nameserver doesn't limit the number of nodes it handles. This can be an attack vector if a malicious client starts registering random nodes, leading to memory exhaustion. Hence, limit the maximum number of nodes to 64. Note that, limit of 64 is chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes in the future, this limit can be increased.

net: qrtr: ns: Limit the maximum number of lookups

2026-05-07T04:12:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5640227d9a21c6a8be249a10677b832e7f40dc55 ] Current code does no bound checking on the number of lookups a client can perform. Though the code restricts the lookups to local clients, there is still a possibility of a malicious local client sending a flood of NEW_LOOKUP messages over the same socket. Fix this issue by limiting the maximum number of lookups to 64 globally. Since the nameserver allows only atmost one local observer, this global lookup count will ensure that the lookups stay within the limit. Note that, limit of 64 is chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes in the future, this limit can be increased.

net: qrtr: ns: Limit the maximum server registration per node

2026-05-07T04:12:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit d5ee2ff98322337951c56398e79d51815acbf955 ] Current code does no bound checking on the number of servers added per node. A malicious client can flood NEW_SERVER messages and exhaust memory. Fix this issue by limiting the maximum number of server registrations to 256 per node. If the NEW_SERVER message is received for an old port, then don't restrict it as it will get replaced. While at it, also rate limit the error messages in the failure path of qrtr_ns_worker(). Note that the limit of 256 is chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes in the future, this limit can be increased.

net: qrtr: ns: Free the node during ctrl_cmd_bye()

2026-05-07T04:11:44+00:00

commit 68efba36446a7774ea5b971257ade049272a07ac upstream. A node sends the BYE packet when it is about to go down. So the nameserver should advertise the removal of the node to all remote and local observers and free the node finally. But currently, the nameserver doesn't free the node memory even after processing the BYE packet. This causes the node memory to leak. Hence, remove the node from Xarray list and free the node memory during both success and failure case of ctrl_cmd_bye().

net: qrtr: ns: Fix use-after-free in driver remove()

2026-05-07T04:11:37+00:00

commit 7809fea20c9404bfcfa6112ec08d1fe1d3520beb upstream. In the remove callback, if a packet arrives after destroy_workqueue() is called, but before sock_release(), the qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback will try to queue the work, causing use-after-free issue. Fix this issue by saving the default 'sk_data_ready' callback during qrtr_ns_init() and use it to replace the qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback at the start of remove(). This ensures that even if a packet arrives after destroy_workqueue(), the work struct will not be dereferenced. Note that it is also required to ensure that the RX threads are completed before destroying the workqueue, because the threads could be using the qrtr_ns_data_ready() callback.

net: qrtr: replace qrtr_tx_flow radix_tree with xarray to fix memory leak

2026-04-11T12:26:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2428083101f6883f979cceffa76cd8440751ffe6 ] __radix_tree_create() allocates and links intermediate nodes into the tree one by one. If a subsequent allocation fails, the already-linked nodes remain in the tree with no corresponding leaf entry. These orphaned internal nodes are never reclaimed because radix_tree_for_each_slot() only visits slots containing leaf values. The radix_tree API is deprecated in favor of xarray. As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, migrate qrtr_tx_flow from radix_tree to xarray instead of fixing the radix_tree itself [1]. xarray properly handles cleanup of internal nodes — xa_destroy() frees all internal xarray nodes when the qrtr_node is released, preventing the leak.

net: qrtr: Drop the MHI auto_queue feature for IPCR DL channels

2026-03-12T11:09:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 51731792a25cb312ca94cdccfa139eb46de1b2ef ] MHI stack offers the 'auto_queue' feature, which allows the MHI stack to auto queue the buffers for the RX path (DL channel). Though this feature simplifies the client driver design, it introduces race between the client drivers and the MHI stack. For instance, with auto_queue, the 'dl_callback' for the DL channel may get called before the client driver is fully probed. This means, by the time the dl_callback gets called, the client driver's structures might not be initialized, leading to NULL ptr dereference. Currently, the drivers have to workaround this issue by initializing the internal structures before calling mhi_prepare_for_transfer_autoqueue(). But even so, there is a chance that the client driver's internal code path may call the MHI queue APIs before mhi_prepare_for_transfer_autoqueue() is called, leading to similar NULL ptr dereference. This issue has been reported on the Qcom X1E80100 CRD machines affecting boot. So to properly fix all these races, drop the MHI 'auto_queue' feature altogether and let the client driver (QRTR) manage the RX buffers manually. In the QRTR driver, queue the RX buffers based on the ring length during probe and recycle the buffers in 'dl_callback' once they are consumed. This also warrants removing the setting of 'auto_queue' flag from controller drivers. Currently, this 'auto_queue' feature is only enabled for IPCR DL channel. So only the QRTR client driver requires the modification.

net: qrtr: Update packets cloning when broadcasting

2024-09-24T08:48:16+00:00

When broadcasting data to multiple nodes via MHI, using skb_clone() causes all nodes to receive the same header data. This can result in packets being discarded by endpoints, leading to lost data. This issue occurs when a socket is closed, and a QRTR_TYPE_DEL_CLIENT packet is broadcasted. All nodes receive the same destination node ID, causing the node connected to the client to discard the packet and remain unaware of the client's deletion. Replace skb_clone() with pskb_copy(), to create a separate copy of the header for each sk_buff.

Ignore the ENODEV failures returned by kernel_sendmsg(). These errors indicate that either the local port has been closed or the remote has gone down.

net: qrtr: ns: Fix module refcnt

2024-05-16T08:47:45+00:00

The qrtr protocol core logic and the qrtr nameservice are combined into a single module. Neither the core logic or nameservice provide much functionality by themselves; combining the two into a single module also prevents any possible issues that may stem from client modules loading inbetween qrtr and the ns. Creating a socket takes two references to the module that owns the socket protocol. Since the ns needs to create the control socket, this creates a scenario where there are always two references to the qrtr module. This prevents the execution of 'rmmod' for qrtr. To resolve this, forcefully put the module refcount for the socket opened by the nameservice.
