[PATCH net v2] tcp: prevent fetching dst twice in early demux code

From: Michal Kubecek
Date: Mon Mar 23 2015 - 10:14:06 EST


On s390x, gcc 4.8 compiles this part of tcp_v6_early_demux()

struct dst_entry *dst = sk->sk_rx_dst;

if (dst)
dst = dst_check(dst, inet6_sk(sk)->rx_dst_cookie);

to code reading sk->sk_rx_dst twice, once for the test and once for
the argument of ip6_dst_check() (dst_check() is inline). This allows
ip6_dst_check() to be called with null first argument, causing a crash.

Protect sk->sk_rx_dst access by READ_ONCE() both in IPv4 and IPv6
TCP early demux code.

Fixes: 41063e9dd119 ("ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.")
Fixes: c7109986db3c ("ipv6: Early TCP socket demux")
