[PATCH] ucounts: Fix race condition between alloc_ucounts and put_ucounts

From: Alexey Gladkov
Date: Tue Jul 27 2021 - 11:24:18 EST


The race happens because put_ucounts() doesn't use spinlock and
get_ucounts is not under spinlock:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
alloc_ucounts() put_ucounts()

spin_lock_irq(&ucounts_lock);
ucounts = find_ucounts(ns, uid, hashent);

atomic_dec_and_test(&ucounts->count))

spin_unlock_irq(&ucounts_lock);

spin_lock_irqsave(&ucounts_lock, flags);
hlist_del_init(&ucounts->node);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ucounts_lock, flags);
kfree(ucounts);

ucounts = get_ucounts(ucounts);

==================================================================

- The race fix has two parts.
* Changing the code to guarantee that ucounts->count is only decremented
when ucounts_lock is held. This guarantees that find_ucounts
will never find a structure with a zero reference count.
* Changing alloc_ucounts to increment ucounts->count while
ucounts_lock is held. This guarantees the reference count on the
found data structure will not be decremented to zero (and the data
structure freed) before the reference count is incremented.
