[PATCH v2 2/2] RDMA/rxe: Reject prefetch of a non-ODP MR

From: Norbert Szetei via B4 Relay

From: Norbert Szetei <norbert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

rxe_ib_advise_mr_prefetch() and rxe_ib_prefetch_sg_list() look up the MR
by lkey and hand it to rxe_odp_do_pagefault_and_lock() without checking
that it is an ODP MR. That path runs to_ib_umem_odp() on mr->umem, and
for a non-ODP MR mr->umem is a plain struct ib_umem from ib_umem_get(),
so the container_of() in to_ib_umem_odp() lands past the end of the
object and ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() reads its ib_umem_odp fields
out of bounds.

lookup_mr() validates the lkey, PD, access and state but not the MR
type, and IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_ADVICE_PREFETCH is accepted for any MR.

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock+0x884/0x8a0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810a3ebcf0 by task advi/921

ib_uverbs_cmd_verbs+0x2b3c/0x3b20

Allocated by task 921:
__ib_umem_get_va+0x13e/0xae0
rxe_mr_init_user+0x2ae/0xb00
rxe_reg_user_mr+0x337/0x510
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810a3ebc80
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96

Ask lookup_mr() for IB_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND in both the synchronous and
the asynchronous prefetch arm. mr->access carries that flag only for
an MR registered as ODP, so the existing
(access & mr->access) != access test rejects a plain MR and the
prefetch fails with -EINVAL.
