net: devmem: fix kernel panic when netlink socket close after module …
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…unload

Kernel panic occurs when a devmem TCP socket is closed after NIC module
is unloaded.

This is Devmem TCP unregistration scenarios. number is an order.
(a)netlink socket close    (b)pp destroy    (c)uninstall    result
1                          2                3               OK
1                          3                2               (d)Impossible
2                          1                3               OK
3                          1                2               (e)Kernel panic
2                          3                1               (d)Impossible
3                          2                1               (d)Impossible

(a) netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() is called when devmem TCP socket is
    closed.
(b) page_pool_destroy() is called when the interface is down.
(c) mp_ops->uninstall() is called when an interface is unregistered.
(d) There is no scenario in mp_ops->uninstall() is called before
    page_pool_destroy().
    Because unregister_netdevice_many_notify() closes interfaces first
    and then calls mp_ops->uninstall().
(e) netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() accesses struct net_device to acquire
    netdev_lock().
    But if the interface module has already been removed, net_device
    pointer is invalid, so it causes kernel panic.

In summary, there are only 3 possible scenarios.
 A. sk close -> pp destroy -> uninstall.
 B. pp destroy -> sk close -> uninstall.
 C. pp destroy -> uninstall -> sk close.

Case C is a kernel panic scenario.

In order to fix this problem, It makes mp_dmabuf_devmem_uninstall() set
binding->dev to NULL.
It indicates an bound net_device was unregistered.

It makes netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() do not acquire netdev_lock()
if binding->dev is NULL.

A new binding->lock is added to protect a dev of a binding.
So, lock ordering is like below.
 priv->lock
 netdev_lock(dev)
 binding->lock

Tests:
Scenario A:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    kill $pid
    ip link set $interface down
    modprobe -rv $module

Scenario B:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    ip link set $interface down
    kill $pid
    modprobe -rv $module

Scenario C:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    modprobe -rv $module
    sleep 5
    kill $pid
