Initialize msg/shm IPC objects before doing ipc_addid()

2015-10-22T21:39:20+00:00

commit b9a532277938798b53178d5a66af6e2915cb27cf upstream.

As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before
having initialized the IPC object state.  Yes, we initialize the IPC
object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work,
that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen.

We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f0329:
"ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we
clearly forgot about msg and shm.

ipc: whitespace cleanup

2014-01-28T05:02:39+00:00

The ipc code does not adhere the typical linux coding style.
This patch fixes lots of simple whitespace errors.

- mostly autogenerated by
  scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix \
	--types=pointer_location,spacing,space_before_tab
- one manual fixup (keep structure members tab-aligned)
- removal of additional space_before_tab that were not found by --fix

Tested with some of my msg and sem test apps.

Andrew: Could you include it in -mm and move it towards Linus' tree?

ipc: introduce ipc_valid_object() helper to sort out IPC_RMID races

2014-01-28T05:02:39+00:00

After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple
of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the
'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock().  The
spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the
racy critical sections.

This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope
with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API
implementation.

ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)

2013-11-22T00:42:28+00:00

Commit 2caacaa82a51 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl")
restructured the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a
path where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation
actually was performed.

Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value
from security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement.

Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM, and in the
case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all, and used as the return value
from shmctl.

To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the fallthrough
case alone.

ipc,shm: fix shm_file deletion races

2013-11-22T00:42:27+00:00

When IPC_RMID races with other shm operations there's potential for
use-after-free of the shm object's associated file (shm_file).

Here's the race before this patch:

  TASK 1                     TASK 2
  ------                     ------
  shm_rmid()
    ipc_lock_object()
                             shmctl()
                             shp = shm_obtain_object_check()

    shm_destroy()
      shum_unlock()
      fput(shp->shm_file)
                             ipc_lock_object()
                             shmem_lock(shp->shm_file)
                             

The oops is caused because shm_destroy() calls fput() after dropping the
ipc_lock.  fput() clears the file's f_inode, f_path.dentry, and
f_path.mnt, which causes various NULL pointer references in task 2.  I
reliably see the oops in task 2 if with shmlock, shmu

This patch fixes the races by:
1) set shm_file=NULL in shm_destroy() while holding ipc_object_lock().
2) modify at risk operations to check shm_file while holding
   ipc_object_lock().

Example workloads, which each trigger oops...

Workload 1:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shm_rmid $id &
    shmlock $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack shows accessing NULL f_inode due to racing fput:
    _raw_spin_lock
    shmem_lock
    SyS_shmctl

Workload 2:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shmat $id 4096 &
    shm_rmid $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack is similar to workload 1 due to NULL f_inode:
    touch_atime
    shmem_mmap
    shm_mmap
    mmap_region
    do_mmap_pgoff
    do_shmat
    SyS_shmat

Workload 3:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shmlock $id
    shm_rmid $id &
    shmunlock $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack shows second fput tripping on an NULL f_inode.  The
  first fput() completed via from shm_destroy(), but a racing thread did
  a get_file() and queued this fput():
    locks_remove_flock
    __fput
    ____fput
    task_work_run
    do_notify_resume
    int_signal

ipc: fix race with LSMs

2013-09-24T16:36:53+00:00

Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
RCU.  However, since security modules can free the security structure,
for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
creating a use-after-free condition.  Manfred illustrates this nicely,
for instance with shared mem and selinux:

 -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
 -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
     Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
     Then it returns.
 -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
 -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
 -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security

shm_close()
 -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
 -> shm_close calls shm_destroy
 -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
 -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
 -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)

This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
readers are done.  Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
kept.  Linus states:

 "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
  security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
  various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
  _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."

I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server.  In both cases selinux is
enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything
we weren't aware of.

ipc, shm: guard against non-existant vma in shmdt(2)

2013-09-11T22:59:44+00:00

When !CONFIG_MMU there's a chance we can derefence a NULL pointer when the
VM area isn't found - check the return value of find_vma().

Also, remove the redundant -EINVAL return: retval is set to the proper
return code and *only* changed to 0, when we actually unmap the segments.
