net: rds: fix MR cleanup on copy error

2026-04-23T19:18:08+00:00

__rds_rdma_map() hands sg/pages ownership to the transport after get_mr() succeeds. If copying the generated cookie back to user space fails after that point, the error path must not free those resources again before dropping the MR reference. Remove the duplicate unpin/free from the put_user() failure branch so that MR teardown is handled only through the existing final cleanup path.

net/rds: zero per-item info buffer before handing it to visitors

2026-04-23T04:05:16+00:00

rds_for_each_conn_info() and rds_walk_conn_path_info() both hand a caller-allocated on-stack u64 buffer to a per-connection visitor and then copy the full item_len bytes back to user space via rds_info_copy() regardless of how much of the buffer the visitor actually wrote. rds_ib_conn_info_visitor() and rds6_ib_conn_info_visitor() only write a subset of their output struct when the underlying rds_connection is not in state RDS_CONN_UP (src/dst addr, tos, sl and the two GIDs via explicit memsets). Several u32 fields (max_send_wr, max_recv_wr, max_send_sge, rdma_mr_max, rdma_mr_size, cache_allocs) and the 2-byte alignment hole between sl and cache_allocs remain as whatever stack contents preceded the visitor call and are then memcpy_to_user()'d out to user space. struct rds_info_rdma_connection and struct rds6_info_rdma_connection are the only rds_info_* structs in include/uapi/linux/rds.h that are not marked __attribute__((packed)), so they have a real alignment hole. The other info visitors (rds_conn_info_visitor, rds6_conn_info_visitor, rds_tcp_tc_info, ...) write all fields of their packed output struct today and are not known to be vulnerable, but a future visitor that adds a conditional write-path would have the same bug. Reproduction on a kernel built without CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO=y: a local unprivileged user opens AF_RDS, sets SO_RDS_TRANSPORT=IB, binds to a local address on an RDMA-capable netdev (rxe soft-RoCE on any netdev is sufficient), sendto()'s any peer on the same subnet (fails cleanly but installs an rds_connection in the global hash in RDS_CONN_CONNECTING), then calls getsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_INFO_IB_CONNECTIONS). The returned 68-byte item contains 26 bytes of stack garbage including kernel text/data pointers: 0..7 0a 63 00 01 0a 63 00 02 src=10.99.0.1 dst=10.99.0.2 8..39 00 ... gids (memset-zeroed) 40..47 e0 92 a3 81 ff ff ff ff kernel pointer (max_send_wr) 48..55 7f 37 b5 81 ff ff ff ff kernel pointer (rdma_mr_max) 56..59 01 00 08 00 rdma_mr_size (garbage) 60..61 00 00 tos, sl 62..63 00 00 alignment padding 64..67 18 00 00 00 cache_allocs (garbage) Fix by zeroing the per-item buffer in both rds_for_each_conn_info() and rds_walk_conn_path_info() before invoking the visitor. This covers the IPv4/IPv6 IB visitors and hardens all current and future visitors against the same class of bug. No functional change for visitors that fully populate their output.

net/rds: Optimize rds_ib_laddr_check

2026-04-12T20:33:19+00:00

rds_ib_laddr_check() creates a CM_ID and attempts to bind the address in question to it. This in order to qualify the allegedly local address as a usable IB/RoCE address. In the field, ExaWatcher runs rds-ping to all ports in the fabric from all local ports. This using all active ToS'es. In a full rack system, we have 14 cell servers and eight db servers. Typically, 6 ToS'es are used. This implies 528 rds-ping invocations per ExaWatcher's "RDSinfo" interval. Adding to this, each rds-ping invocation creates eight sockets and binds the local address to them: socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 3 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 4 bind(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 5 bind(5, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 6 bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 7 bind(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 8 bind(8, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 9 bind(9, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 10 bind(10, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.36.2")}, 16) = 0 So, at every interval ExaWatcher executes rds-ping's, 4224 CM_IDs are allocated, considering this full-rack system. After the a CM_ID has been allocated, rdma_bind_addr() is called, with the port number being zero. This implies that the CMA will attempt to search for an un-used ephemeral port. Simplified, the algorithm is to start at a random position in the available port space, and then if needed, iterate until an un-used port is found. The book-keeping of used ports uses the idr system, which again uses slab to allocate new struct idr_layer's. The size is 2092 bytes and slab tries to reduce the wasted space. Hence, it chooses an order:3 allocation, for which 15 idr_layer structs will fit and only 1388 bytes are wasted per the 32KiB order:3 chunk. Although this order:3 allocation seems like a good space/speed trade-off, it does not resonate well with how it used by the CMA. The combination of the randomized starting point in the port space (which has close to zero spatial locality) and the close proximity in time of the 4224 invocations of the rds-ping's, creates a memory hog for order:3 allocations. These costly allocations may need reclaims and/or compaction. At worst, they may fail and produce a stack trace such as (from uek4): [] __inc_zone_page_state+0x35/0x40 [] page_add_file_rmap+0x57/0x60 [] remove_migration_pte+0x3f/0x3c0 [ksplice_6cn872bt_vmlinux_new] [] rmap_walk+0xd8/0x340 [] remove_migration_ptes+0x40/0x50 [] migrate_pages+0x3ec/0x890 [] compact_zone+0x32d/0x9a0 [] compact_zone_order+0x6d/0x90 [] try_to_compact_pages+0x102/0x270 [] __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0x46/0x100 [] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x74b/0xaa0 [] alloc_pages_current+0x91/0x110 [] new_slab+0x38b/0x480 [] __slab_alloc+0x3b7/0x4a0 [ksplice_s0dk66a8_vmlinux_new] [] kmem_cache_alloc+0x1fb/0x250 [] idr_layer_alloc+0x36/0x90 [] idr_get_empty_slot+0x28c/0x3d0 [] idr_alloc+0x4d/0xf0 [] cma_alloc_port+0x4d/0xa0 [rdma_cm] [] rdma_bind_addr+0x2ae/0x5b0 [rdma_cm] [] rds_ib_laddr_check+0x83/0x2c0 [ksplice_6l2xst5i_rds_rdma_new] [] rds_trans_get_preferred+0x5b/0xa0 [rds] [] rds_bind+0x212/0x280 [rds] [] SYSC_bind+0xe6/0x120 [] SyS_bind+0xe/0x10 [] system_call_fastpath+0x18/0xd4 To avoid these excessive calls to rdma_bind_addr(), we optimize rds_ib_laddr_check() by simply checking if the address in question has been used before. The rds_rdma module keeps track of addresses associated with IB devices, and the function rds_ib_get_device() is used to determine if the address already has been qualified as a valid local address. If not found, we call the legacy rds_ib_laddr_check(), now renamed to rds_ib_laddr_check_cm().

rds: ib: reject FRMR registration before IB connection is established

2026-04-02T00:52:40+00:00

rds_ib_get_mr() extracts the rds_ib_connection from conn->c_transport_data and passes it to rds_ib_reg_frmr() for FRWR memory registration. On a fresh outgoing connection, ic is allocated in rds_ib_conn_alloc() with i_cm_id = NULL because the connection worker has not yet called rds_ib_conn_path_connect() to create the rdma_cm_id. When sendmsg() with RDS_CMSG_RDMA_MAP is called on such a connection, the sendmsg path parses the control message before any connection establishment, allowing rds_ib_post_reg_frmr() to dereference ic->i_cm_id->qp and crash the kernel. The existing guard in rds_ib_reg_frmr() only checks for !ic (added in commit 9e630bcb7701), which does not catch this case since ic is allocated early and is always non-NULL once the connection object exists.

Return -ENODEV when the connection is not ready, which the existing error handling in rds_cmsg_send() converts to -EAGAIN for userspace retry and triggers rds_conn_connect_if_down() to start the connection worker.

net/rds: Fix circular locking dependency in rds_tcp_tune

2026-03-03T11:57:06+00:00

syzbot reported a circular locking dependency in rds_tcp_tune() where sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() is called while holding the socket lock: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected ====================================================== kworker/u10:8/15040 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff8e9aaf80 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x4b/0x6f0 but task is already holding lock: ffff88805a3c1ce0 (k-sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: rds_tcp_tune+0xd7/0x930 The issue occurs because sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() performs memory allocation (via get_net_track() -> ref_tracker_alloc()) while the socket lock is held, creating a circular dependency with fs_reclaim. Fix this by moving sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() outside the socket lock critical section. This is safe because the fields modified by the sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() call (sk_net_refcnt, ns_tracker) are not accessed by any concurrent code path at this point. v2: - Corrected fixes tag - check patch line wrap nits - ai commentary nits Reported-by: syzbot+2e2cf5331207053b8106@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2e2cf5331207053b8106 Fixes: 3a58f13a881e ("net: rds: acquire refcount on TCP sockets") Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260227202336.167757-1-achender@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni
