[PATCH] kcm: switch order of device registration to fix a crash
From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Mar 29 2019 - 07:19:56 EST
When kcm is loaded while many processes try to create a KCM socket, a
crash occurs:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000e
IP: mutex_lock+0x27/0x40 kernel/locking/mutex.c:240
PGD 8000000016ef2067 P4D 8000000016ef2067 PUD 3d6e9067 PMD 0

Call Trace:
kcm_create+0x600/0xbf0 [kcm]
__sock_create+0x324/0x750 net/socket.c:1272
...
This is due to race between sock_create and unfinished
register_pernet_device. kcm_create tries to do "net_generic(net,
kcm_net_id)". but kcm_net_id is not initialized yet.
So switch the order of the two to close the race.
This can be reproduced with mutiple processes doing socket(PF_KCM, ...)
and one process doing module removal.
Fixes: ab7ac4eb9832 ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module")
