[NETFILTER]: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix race between clusterip_config_find_get and _entry_put
Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries" count == 1, and on the other CPU there's a clusterip_config_find_get in progress: CPU1: CPU2: clusterip_config_entry_put: clusterip_config_find_get: if (atomic_dec_and_test(&c->entries)) { /* true */ read_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); c = __clusterip_config_find(clusterip); /* found - it's still in list */ ... atomic_inc(&c->entries); read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); list_del(&c->list); write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); ... dev_put(c->dev); Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get, which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer. The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and will put a stale dev pointer. The fix is to make atomic_dec_and_test under the clusterip_lock. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
