macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal and rx path

jpirko · davem330 · commit 233c7df0821c · 2013-05-11T16:25:00.000-07:00
Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and you remove this device, following panic happens: NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198 IP: [<ffffffffa0196058>] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan] I'm using following script to trigger this: <script> while [ 1 ] do ip link add link e1 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode passthru ip link set e1 up ip link set macvtap0 up IFINDEX=`ip link |grep macvtap0 | cut -f 1 -d ':'` cat /dev/tap$IFINDEX >/dev/null & ip link del dev macvtap0 done </script> I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send packets to e1 rx. Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to incorrect pointer which leads to the crash. I'm fixing this by protecting port->vlans list by rcu and by preventing from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.
