[PATCH 3.10 38/56] net: call rcu_read_lock early in process_backlog

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 29 2015 - 09:59:34 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2c17d27c36dcce2b6bf689f41a46b9e909877c21 ]

Incoming packet should be either in backlog queue or
in RCU read-side section. Otherwise, the final sequence of
flush_backlog() and synchronize_net() may miss packets
that can run without device reference:

CPU 1 CPU 2
skb->dev: no reference
process_backlog:__skb_dequeue
process_backlog:local_irq_enable

on_each_cpu for
flush_backlog => IPI(hardirq): flush_backlog
- packet not found in backlog

CPU delayed ...
synchronize_net
- no ongoing RCU
read-side sections

netdev_run_todo,
rcu_barrier: no
ongoing callbacks
__netif_receive_skb_core:rcu_read_lock
- too late
free dev
process packet for freed dev
