[PATCH v4] RDMA/core: Fix race when resolving IP address

From: Dag Moxnes
Date: Tue Jul 09 2019 - 07:51:43 EST


Use the neighbour lock when copying the MAC address from the neighbour
data struct in dst_fetch_ha.

When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update(), causing it to copy an torn MAC address:

rdma_resolve_addr()
rdma_resolve_ip()
addr_resolve()
addr_resolve_neigh()
fetch_ha()
dst_fetch_ha()
memcpy(dev_addr->dst_dev_addr, n->ha, MAX_ADDR_LEN)

and

net_ioctl()
arp_ioctl()
arp_rec_delete()
arp_invalidate()
neigh_update()
__neigh_update()
memcpy(&neigh->ha, lladdr, dev->addr_len)

It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr() in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.
