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

net/rds: fix recursive lock in rds_tcp_conn_slots_available

For rds_tcp_accept_one(), the socket has just been accepted and is not yet exposed to concurrent access. For rds_tcp_conn_slots_available(), direct access avoids the recursive deadlock seen during backlog processing where the socket lock is already held from the __release_sock(). However, rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() is also called from the normal softirq path via tcp_data_ready() where the lock is not held. This is also safe because inet_dport is a stable 16 bits field. A READ_ONCE() annotation as the value might be accessed lockless in a concurrent access context. Note that it is also safe to call rds_tcp_conn_slots_available() from rds_conn_shutdown() because the fan-out is disabled.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

rds: tcp: fix uninit-value in __inet_bind

2026-02-19T15:05:56+00:00

KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in __inet_bind() when binding an RDS TCP socket. The uninitialized memory originates from rds_tcp_conn_alloc(), which uses kmem_cache_alloc() to allocate the rds_tcp_connection structure. Specifically, the field 't_client_port_group' is incremented in rds_tcp_conn_path_connect() without being initialized first: if (++tc->t_client_port_group >= port_groups) Since kmem_cache_alloc() does not zero the memory, this field contains garbage, leading to the KMSAN report. Fix this by using kmem_cache_zalloc() to ensure the structure is zero-initialized upon allocation.

net/rds: Fix NULL pointer dereference in rds_tcp_accept_one

2026-02-19T14:57:56+00:00

Save a local pointer to new_sock->sk and hold a reference before installing callbacks in rds_tcp_accept_one. After rds_tcp_set_callbacks() or rds_tcp_reset_callbacks(), tc->t_sock is set to new_sock which may race with the shutdown path. A concurrent rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown() may call sock_release(), which sets new_sock->sk = NULL and may eventually free sk when the refcount reaches zero. Subsequent accesses to new_sock->sk->sk_state would dereference NULL, causing the crash. The fix saves a local sk pointer before callbacks are installed so that sk_state can be accessed safely even after new_sock->sk is nulled, and uses sock_hold()/sock_put() to ensure sk itself remains valid for the duration.

net/rds: rds_sendmsg should not discard payload_len

2026-02-17T11:03:57+00:00

Commit 3db6e0d172c9 ("rds: use RCU to synchronize work-enqueue with connection teardown") modifies rds_sendmsg to avoid enqueueing work while a tear down is in progress. However, it also changed the return value of rds_sendmsg to that of rds_send_xmit instead of the payload_len. This means the user may incorrectly receive errno values when it should have simply received a payload of 0 while the peer attempts a reconnections. So this patch corrects the teardown handling code to only use the out error path in that case, thus restoring the original payload_len return value.
