[PATCH 5.5 043/120] netdevsim: fix using uninitialized resources

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 13 2020 - 10:32:11 EST


From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx>

commit f5cd21605ecd249e5fc715411df22cc1bc877b32 upstream.

When module is being initialized, __init() calls bus_register() and
driver_register().
These functions internally create various resources and sysfs files.
The sysfs files are used for basic operations(add/del device).
/sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
/sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device

These sysfs files use netdevsim resources, they are mostly allocated
and initialized in ->probe() function, which is nsim_dev_probe().
But, sysfs files could be executed before ->probe() is finished.
So, accessing uninitialized data would occur.

Another problem is very similar.
/sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device internally creates sysfs files.
/sys/devices/netdevsim<id>/new_port
/sys/devices/netdevsim<id>/del_port

These sysfs files also use netdevsim resources, they are mostly allocated
and initialized in creating device routine, which is nsim_bus_dev_new().
But they also could be executed before nsim_bus_dev_new() is finished.
So, accessing uninitialized data would occur.

To fix these problems, this patch adds flags, which means whether the
operation is finished or not.
The flag variable 'nsim_bus_enable' means whether netdevsim bus was
initialized or not.
This is protected by nsim_bus_dev_list_lock.
The flag variable 'nsim_bus_dev->init' means whether nsim_bus_dev was
initialized or not.
This could be used in {new/del}_port_store() with no lock.

Test commands:
#SHELL1
modprobe netdevsim
while :
do
echo "1 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
echo "1 1" > /sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device
done

#SHELL2
while :
do
echo 1 > /sys/devices/netdevsim1/new_port
echo 1 > /sys/devices/netdevsim1/del_port
done

Splat looks like:
