[PATCH v5] Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Sun Mar 11 2007 - 12:59:35 EST


Differences from version 4:
Updated in-code comments. Largely rewritten changelog.
Lockdep please. --akpm
->read_proc, ->write_proc aren't special, Extend protection to
most methods for regular /proc files. Mentioned by viro.
Differences from version 3:
Use completion instead of unlock/schedule/lock
Move refcount waiting business after removing PDE from lists,
so that *cough* possible concurrent remove_proc_entry() will
work.

Fix following races:
===========================================
1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears
meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method
supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile.

pde = create_proc_entry()
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
pde->write_proc = ...
open
write
copy_from_user
pde = create_proc_entry();
if (!pde) {
remove_proc_entry();
return -ENOMEM;
/* module unloaded */
}
*boom*
==========================================
2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes()

remove_proc_entry vfs_read
proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness]
[check ->f_op->read validness]
[verify_area, security permissions checks]
->f_op = NULL;
if (file->f_op->read)
/* ->f_op dereference, boom */

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's
see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories.
Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for
directories may be unneeded.

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write,
->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release.
If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me. Full audit pending.
