[PATCH net] rxrpc: Fix race between recvmsg and sendmsg on immediate call failure

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Jul 28 2020 - 19:10:14 EST


There's a race between rxrpc_sendmsg setting up a call, but then failing to
send anything on it due to an error, and recvmsg() seeing the call
completion occur and trying to return the state to the user.

An assertion fails in rxrpc_recvmsg() because the call has already been
released from the socket and is about to be released again as recvmsg deals
with it. (The recvmsg_q queue on the socket holds a ref, so there's no
problem with use-after-free.)

We also have to be careful not to end up reporting an error twice, in such
a way that both returns indicate to userspace that the user ID supplied
with the call is no longer in use - which could cause the client to
malfunction if it recycles the user ID fast enough.

Fix this by the following means:

(1) When sendmsg() creates a call after the point that the call has been
successfully added to the socket, don't return any errors through
sendmsg(), but rather complete the call and let recvmsg() retrieve
them. Make sendmsg() return 0 at this point. Further calls to
sendmsg() for that call will fail with ESHUTDOWN.

Note that at this point, we haven't send any packets yet, so the
server doesn't yet know about the call.

(2) If sendmsg() returns an error when it was expected to create a new
call, it means that the user ID wasn't used.

(3) Mark the call disconnected before marking it completed to prevent an
oops in rxrpc_release_call().

(4) recvmsg() will then retrieve the error and set MSG_EOR to indicate
that the user ID is no longer known by the kernel.


An oops like the following is produced:
