[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 038/130] net: sched: fix refcount imbalance in actions

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 28e6b67f0b292f557468c139085303b15f1a678f upstream.

Since commit 55334a5db5cd ("net_sched: act: refuse to remove bound action
outside"), we end up with a wrong reference count for a tc action.

Test case 1:

  FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295,"
  BAR="1,6 0 0 4294967294,"
  tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 \
     action bpf bytecode "$FOO"
  tc actions show action bpf
    action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe
    index 1 ref 1 bind 1
  tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$BAR" index 1
  tc actions show action bpf
    action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967294' default-action pipe
    index 1 ref 2 bind 1
  tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$FOO" index 1
  tc actions show action bpf
    action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe
    index 1 ref 3 bind 1

Test case 2:

  FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295,"
  tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action ok
  tc actions show action gact
    action order 0: gact action pass
    random type none pass val 0
     index 1 ref 1 bind 1
  tc actions add action drop index 1
    RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...]
  tc actions show action gact
    action order 0: gact action pass
     random type none pass val 0
     index 1 ref 2 bind 1
  tc actions add action drop index 1
    RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...]
  tc actions show action gact
    action order 0: gact action pass
     random type none pass val 0
     index 1 ref 3 bind 1

What happens is that in tcf_hash_check(), we check tcf_common for a given
index and increase tcfc_refcnt and conditionally tcfc_bindcnt when we've
found an existing action. Now there are the following cases:

  1) We do a late binding of an action. In that case, we leave the
     tcfc_refcnt/tcfc_bindcnt increased and are done with the ->init()
     handler. This is correctly handeled.

  2) We replace the given action, or we try to add one without replacing
     and find out that the action at a specific index already exists
     (thus, we go out with error in that case).

In case of 2), we have to undo the reference count increase from
tcf_hash_check() in the tcf_hash_check() function. Currently, we fail to
do so because of the 'tcfc_bindcnt > 0' check which bails out early with
an -EPERM error.

Now, while commit 55334a5db5cd prevents 'tc actions del action ...' on an
already classifier-bound action to drop the reference count (which could
then become negative, wrap around etc), this restriction only accounts for
invocations outside a specific action's ->init() handler.

One possible solution would be to add a flag thus we possibly trigger
the -EPERM ony in situations where it is indeed relevant.

After the patch, above test cases have correct reference count again.
