netfilter: nf_tables: do not defer rule destruction via call_rcu

2025-06-04T12:32:36+00:00

commit b04df3da1b5c6f6dc7cdccc37941740c078c4043 upstream.

nf_tables_chain_destroy can sleep, it can't be used from call_rcu
callbacks.

Moreover, nf_tables_rule_release() is only safe for error unwinding,
while transaction mutex is held and the to-be-desroyed rule was not
exposed to either dataplane or dumps, as it deactives+frees without
the required synchronize_rcu() in-between.

nft_rule_expr_deactivate() callbacks will change ->use counters
of other chains/sets, see e.g. nft_lookup .deactivate callback, these
must be serialized via transaction mutex.

Also add a few lockdep asserts to make this more explicit.

Calling synchronize_rcu() isn't ideal, but fixing this without is hard
and way more intrusive. As-is, we can get:

WARNING: .. net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:5515 nft_set_destroy+0x..
Workqueue: events nf_tables_trans_destroy_work
RIP: 0010:nft_set_destroy+0x3fe/0x5c0
Call Trace:

nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x6b7/0xad0
process_one_work+0x64a/0xce0
worker_thread+0x613/0x10d0

In case the synchronize_rcu becomes an issue, we can explore alternatives.

One way would be to allocate nft_trans_rule objects + one nft_trans_chain
object, deactivate the rules + the chain and then defer the freeing to the
nft destroy workqueue. We'd still need to keep the synchronize_rcu path as
a fallback to handle -ENOMEM corner cases though.

netfilter: nf_tables: wait for rcu grace period on net_device removal

2025-06-04T12:32:36+00:00

commit c03d278fdf35e73dd0ec543b9b556876b9d9a8dc upstream.

8c873e219970 ("netfilter: core: free hooks with call_rcu") removed
synchronize_net() call when unregistering basechain hook, however,
net_device removal event handler for the NFPROTO_NETDEV was not updated
to wait for RCU grace period.

Note that 835b803377f5 ("netfilter: nf_tables_netdev: unregister hooks
on net_device removal") does not remove basechain rules on device
removal, I was hinted to remove rules on net_device removal later, see
5ebe0b0eec9d ("netfilter: nf_tables: destroy basechain and rules on
netdevice removal").

Although NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is guaranteed to be handled after
synchronize_net() call, this path needs to wait for rcu grace period via
rcu callback to release basechain hooks if netns is alive because an
ongoing netlink dump could be in progress (sockets hold a reference on
the netns).

Note that nf_tables_pre_exit_net() unregisters and releases basechain
hooks but it is possible to see NETDEV_UNREGISTER at a later stage in
the netns exit path, eg. veth peer device in another netns:

 cleanup_net()
  default_device_exit_batch()
   unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
    notifier_call_chain()
     nf_tables_netdev_event()
      __nft_release_basechain()

In this particular case, same rule of thumb applies: if netns is alive,
then wait for rcu grace period because netlink dump in the other netns
could be in progress. Otherwise, if the other netns is going away then
no netlink dump can be in progress and basechain hooks can be released
inmediately.

While at it, turn WARN_ON() into WARN_ON_ONCE() for the basechain
validation, which should not ever happen.

sctp: detect and prevent references to a freed transport in sendmsg

2025-05-02T05:39:16+00:00

commit f1a69a940de58b16e8249dff26f74c8cc59b32be upstream.

sctp_sendmsg() re-uses associations and transports when possible by
doing a lookup based on the socket endpoint and the message destination
address, and then sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() sets the selected transport in
all the message chunks to be sent.

There's a possible race condition if another thread triggers the removal
of that selected transport, for instance, by explicitly unbinding an
address with setsockopt(SCTP_SOCKOPT_BINDX_REM), after the chunks have
been set up and before the message is sent. This can happen if the send
buffer is full, during the period when the sender thread temporarily
releases the socket lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf().

This causes the access to the transport data in
sctp_outq_select_transport(), when the association outqueue is flushed,
to result in a use-after-free read.

This change avoids this scenario by having sctp_transport_free() signal
the freeing of the transport, tagging it as "dead". In order to do this,
the patch restores the "dead" bit in struct sctp_transport, which was
removed in
commit 47faa1e4c50e ("sctp: remove the dead field of sctp_transport").

Then, in the scenario where the sender thread has released the socket
lock in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), the bit is checked again after
re-acquiring the socket lock to detect the deletion. This is done while
holding a reference to the transport to prevent it from being freed in
the process.

If the transport was deleted while the socket lock was relinquished,
sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc() will return -EAGAIN to let userspace retry the
send.

The bug was found by a private syzbot instance (see the error report [1]
and the C reproducer that triggers it [2]).

net: add dev_net_rcu() helper

[ Upstream commit 482ad2a4ace2740ca0ff1cbc8f3c7f862f3ab507 ]

dev->nd_net can change, readers should either
use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL.

We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with
no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs.

Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock()
protection.

net: add exit_batch_rtnl() method

2025-02-01T17:18:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit fd4f101edbd9f99567ab2adb1f2169579ede7c13 ]

Many (struct pernet_operations)->exit_batch() methods have
to acquire rtnl.

In presence of rtnl mutex pressure, this makes cleanup_net()
very slow.

This patch adds a new exit_batch_rtnl() method to reduce
number of rtnl acquisitions from cleanup_net().

exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called while rtnl is locked,
and devices to be killed can be queued in a list provided
as their second argument.

A single unregister_netdevice_many() is called right
before rtnl is released.

exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called before ->exit() and
->exit_batch() handlers.

tcp/dccp: allow a connection when sk_max_ack_backlog is zero

2025-02-01T17:18:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3479c7549fb1dfa7a1db4efb7347c7b8ef50de4b ]

If the backlog of listen() is set to zero, sk_acceptq_is_full() allows
one connection to be made, but inet_csk_reqsk_queue_is_full() does not.
When the net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies is zero, inet_csk_reqsk_queue_is_full()
will cause an immediate drop before the sk_acceptq_is_full() check in
tcp_conn_request(), resulting in no connection can be made.

This patch tries to keep consistent with 64a146513f8f ("[NET]: Revert
incorrect accept queue backlog changes.").
