net: Fix possible race in peernet2id_alloc()
peernet2id_alloc() is racy without rtnl_lock() as refcount_read(&peer->count)
under net->nsid_lock does not guarantee, peer is alive:
rcu_read_lock()
peernet2id_alloc() ..
spin_lock_bh(&net->nsid_lock) ..
refcount_read(&peer->count) (!= 0) ..
.. put_net()
.. cleanup_net()
.. for_each_net(tmp)
.. spin_lock_bh(&tmp->nsid_lock)
.. __peernet2id(tmp, net) == -1
.. ..
.. ..
__peernet2id_alloc(alloc == true) ..
.. ..
rcu_read_unlock() ..
.. synchronize_rcu()
.. kmem_cache_free(net)
After the above situation, net::netns_id contains id pointing to freed memory,
and any other dereferencing by the id will operate with this freed memory.
Currently, peernet2id_alloc() is used under rtnl_lock() everywhere except
ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info(), and this race can't occur. But peernet2id_alloc()
is generic interface, and better we fix it before someone really starts
use it in wrong context.
v2: Don't place refcount_read(&net->count) under net->nsid_lock
as suggested by Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v3: Rebase on top of net-next
