Re: [PATCH] idr: fix invalid ptr dereference on item delete

It'd be nice if you cc'd the person who wrote the code you're patching.
You'd get a response a lot quicker than waiting until I happened to
notice the email in a different forum.

Thanks for finding the situation that leads to the bug. Your fix is
incorrect; it's legitimate to store a NULL value at offset 0, and
your patch makes it impossible to delete. Fortunately, the test-suite
covers that case ;-)

Andrew, can you take this through your tree for extra testing?

If the radix tree underlying the IDR happens to be full and we attempt
to remove an id which is larger than any id in the IDR, we will call
__radix_tree_delete() with an uninitialised 'slot' pointer, at which
point anything could happen. This was easiest to hit with a single entry
at id 0 and attempting to remove a non-0 id, but it could have happened
with 64 entries and attempting to remove an id >= 64.

--- original email ---

If an IDR contains a single entry at index==0, the underlying radix tree
has a single item in its root node, in which case
__radix_tree_lookup(index!=0) doesn't set its *@nodep argument (in
addition to returning NULL).

However, the tree itself is not empty, i.e. the tree root doesn't have
IDR_FREE tag.

As a result, on an attempt to remove an index!=0 entry from such an IDR,
radix_tree_delete_item doesn't return early and calls
__radix_tree_delete with invalid parameters which are then dereferenced.
