tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()

2026-06-25T15:53:00+00:00

Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net() to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete: while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count)) cond_resched(); This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task, or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups. Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the thread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero. Accordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and wake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero. This uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat struct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test() provides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed.

tipc: fix use-after-free of the discoverer in tipc_disc_rcv()

2026-06-21T21:28:22+00:00

bearer_disable() frees b->disc with tipc_disc_delete()'s plain kfree(), but tipc_disc_rcv() still dereferences b->disc in RX softirq under rcu_read_lock() (tipc_udp_recv -> tipc_rcv -> tipc_disc_rcv). L2 bearers are safe thanks to the synchronize_net() in tipc_disable_l2_media(), but the UDP bearer defers that call to the cleanup_bearer() workqueue, so the discoverer is freed with no grace period: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149) Read of size 8 at addr ffff88802348b728 by task poc_tipc/184 tipc_disc_rcv (net/tipc/discover.c:149) tipc_rcv (net/tipc/node.c:2126) tipc_udp_recv (net/tipc/udp_media.c:391) udp_rcv (net/ipv4/udp.c:2643) ip_local_deliver_finish (net/ipv4/ip_input.c:241) Freed by task 181: kfree (mm/slub.c:6565) bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:418) tipc_nl_bearer_disable (net/tipc/bearer.c:1001) The bearer is freed with kfree_rcu(); free the discoverer the same way. Add an rcu_head to struct tipc_discoverer and free it and its skb from an RCU callback. Because the RCU callback (tipc_disc_free_rcu) lives in module text, a call_rcu() that is still pending when the tipc module is unloaded would invoke a freed function. Add an rcu_barrier() to tipc_exit() after the bearer subsystem has been torn down, so all pending discoverer callbacks have run before the module text goes away. Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace: the TIPCv2 genl family is netnsok and its bearer commands have no GENL_ADMIN_PERM. Needs CONFIG_TIPC and CONFIG_TIPC_MEDIA_UDP.

tipc: simplify the finalize work queue

2021-05-18T20:22:09+00:00

This patch is to use "struct work_struct" for the finalize work queue instead of "struct tipc_net_work", as it can get the "net" and "addr" from tipc_net's other members and there is no need to add extra net and addr in tipc_net by defining "struct tipc_net_work". Note that it's safe to get net from tn->bcl as bcl is always released after the finalize work queue is done. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Acked-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

To fix it, this patch introduce a member wq_count in tipc_net to track the numbers of work queues in schedule, and wait and exit until all work queues are done in tipc_exit_net().

tipc: fix ordering of tipc module init and exit routine

2019-12-06T20:01:09+00:00

In order to set/get/dump, the tipc uses the generic netlink infrastructure. So, when tipc module is inserted, init function calls genl_register_family(). After genl_register_family(), set/get/dump commands are immediately allowed and these callbacks internally use the net_generic. net_generic is allocated by register_pernet_device() but this is called after genl_register_family() in the __init function. So, these callbacks would use un-initialized net_generic. Test commands: #SHELL1 while : do modprobe tipc modprobe -rv tipc done #SHELL2 while : do tipc link list done Splat looks like: [ 59.616322][ T2788] kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled [ 59.617234][ T2788] kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access [ 59.618398][ T2788] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN PTI [ 59.619389][ T2788] CPU: 3 PID: 2788 Comm: tipc Not tainted 5.4.0+ #194 [ 59.620231][ T2788] Hardware name: innotek GmbH VirtualBox/VirtualBox, BIOS VirtualBox 12/01/2006 [ 59.621428][ T2788] RIP: 0010:tipc_bcast_get_broadcast_mode+0x131/0x310 [tipc] [ 59.622379][ T2788] Code: c7 c6 ef 8b 38 c0 65 ff 0d 84 83 c9 3f e8 d7 a5 f2 e3 48 8d bb 38 11 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 00 [ 59.622550][ T2780] NET: Registered protocol family 30 [ 59.624627][ T2788] RSP: 0018:ffff88804b09f578 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 59.624630][ T2788] RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000011 RCX: 000000008bc66907 [ 59.624631][ T2788] RDX: 0000000000000229 RSI: 000000004b3cf4cc RDI: 0000000000001149 [ 59.624633][ T2788] RBP: ffff88804b09f588 R08: 0000000000000003 R09: fffffbfff4fb3df1 [ 59.624635][ T2788] R10: fffffbfff50318f8 R11: ffff888066cadc18 R12: ffffffffa6cc2f40 [ 59.624637][ T2788] R13: 1ffff11009613eba R14: ffff8880662e9328 R15: ffff8880662e9328 [ 59.624639][ T2788] FS: 00007f57d8f7b740(0000) GS:ffff88806cc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 59.624645][ T2788] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 59.625875][ T2780] tipc: Started in single node mode [ 59.626128][ T2788] CR2: 00007f57d887a8c0 CR3: 000000004b140002 CR4: 00000000000606e0 [ 59.633991][ T2788] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 59.635195][ T2788] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 59.636478][ T2788] Call Trace: [ 59.637025][ T2788] tipc_nl_add_bc_link+0x179/0x1470 [tipc] [ 59.638219][ T2788] ? lock_downgrade+0x6e0/0x6e0 [ 59.638923][ T2788] ? __tipc_nl_add_link+0xf90/0xf90 [tipc] [ 59.639533][ T2788] ? tipc_nl_node_dump_link+0x318/0xa50 [tipc] [ 59.640160][ T2788] ? mutex_lock_io_nested+0x1380/0x1380 [ 59.640746][ T2788] tipc_nl_node_dump_link+0x4fd/0xa50 [tipc] [ 59.641356][ T2788] ? tipc_nl_node_reset_link_stats+0x340/0x340 [tipc] [ 59.642088][ T2788] ? __skb_ext_del+0x270/0x270 [ 59.642594][ T2788] genl_lock_dumpit+0x85/0xb0 [ 59.643050][ T2788] netlink_dump+0x49c/0xed0 [ 59.643529][ T2788] ? __netlink_sendskb+0xc0/0xc0 [ 59.644044][ T2788] ? __netlink_dump_start+0x190/0x800 [ 59.644617][ T2788] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0xd0/0x670 [ 59.645177][ T2788] __netlink_dump_start+0x5a0/0x800 [ 59.645692][ T2788] genl_rcv_msg+0xa75/0xe90 [ 59.646144][ T2788] ? __lock_acquire+0xdfe/0x3de0 [ 59.646692][ T2788] ? genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse+0x320/0x320 [ 59.647340][ T2788] ? genl_lock_dumpit+0xb0/0xb0 [ 59.647821][ T2788] ? genl_unlock+0x20/0x20 [ 59.648290][ T2788] ? genl_parallel_done+0xe0/0xe0 [ 59.648787][ T2788] ? find_held_lock+0x39/0x1d0 [ 59.649276][ T2788] ? genl_rcv+0x15/0x40 [ 59.649722][ T2788] ? lock_contended+0xcd0/0xcd0 [ 59.650296][ T2788] netlink_rcv_skb+0x121/0x350 [ 59.650828][ T2788] ? genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse+0x320/0x320 [ 59.651491][ T2788] ? netlink_ack+0x940/0x940 [ 59.651953][ T2788] ? lock_acquire+0x164/0x3b0 [ 59.652449][ T2788] genl_rcv+0x24/0x40 [ 59.652841][ T2788] netlink_unicast+0x421/0x600 [ ... ] Fixes: 7e4369057806 ("tipc: fix a slab object leak") Fixes: a62fbccecd62 ("tipc: make subscriber server support net namespace") Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo Acked-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.
