tun: publish tfile after it's fully initialized BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000d1 Call Trace: ? napi_gro_frags+0xa7/0x2c0 tun_get_user+0xb50/0xf20 tun_chr_write_iter+0x53/0x70 new_sync_write+0xff/0x160 vfs_write+0x191/0x1e0 __x64_sys_write+0x5e/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x47/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 I think there is a subtle race between sending a packet via tap and attaching it: CPU0: CPU1: tun_chr_ioctl(TUNSETIFF) tun_set_iff tun_attach rcu_assign_pointer(tfile->tun, tun); tun_fops->write_iter() tun_chr_write_iter tun_napi_alloc_frags napi_get_frags napi->skb = napi_alloc_skb tun_napi_init netif_napi_add napi->skb = NULL napi->skb is NULL here napi_gro_frags napi_frags_skb skb = napi->skb skb_reset_mac_header(skb) panic() Move rcu_assign_pointer(tfile->tun) and rcu_assign_pointer(tun->tfiles) to be the last thing we do in tun_attach(); this should guarantee that when we call tun_get() we always get an initialized object. v2 changes: * remove extra napi_mutex locks/unlocks for napi operations Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Fixes: 90e33d459407 ("tun: enable napi_gro_frags() for TUN/TAP driver") Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
