From 12be15dd5ac928b60323b1ed8f6facd7335bb2cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liping Zhang Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 23:13:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink_acct: fix race between nfacct del and xt_nfacct destroy Suppose that we input the following commands at first: # nfacct add test # iptables -A INPUT -m nfacct --nfacct-name test And now "test" acct's refcnt is 2, but later when we try to delete the "test" nfacct and the related iptables rule at the same time, race maybe happen: CPU0 CPU1 nfnl_acct_try_del nfnl_acct_put atomic_dec_and_test //ref=1,testfail - - atomic_dec_and_test //ref=0,testok - kfree_rcu atomic_inc //ref=1 - So after the rcu grace period, nf_acct will be freed but it is still linked in the nfnl_acct_list, and we can access it later, then oops will happen. Convert atomic_dec_and_test and atomic_inc combinaiton to one atomic operation atomic_cmpxchg here to fix this problem.
