[INET]: Fix inet_diag register vs rcv race
The following race is possible when one cpu unregisters the handler while other one is trying to receive a message and call this one: CPU1: CPU2: inet_diag_rcv() inet_diag_unregister() mutex_lock(&inet_diag_mutex); netlink_rcv_skb(skb, &inet_diag_rcv_msg); if (inet_diag_table[nlh->nlmsg_type] == NULL) /* false handler is still registered */ ... netlink_dump_start(idiagnl, skb, nlh, inet_diag_dump, NULL); cb = kzalloc(sizeof(*cb), GFP_KERNEL); /* sleep here freeing memory * or preempt * or sleep later on nlk->cb_mutex */ spin_lock(&inet_diag_register_lock); inet_diag_table[type] = NULL; ... spin_unlock(&inet_diag_register_lock); synchronize_rcu(); /* CPU1 is sleeping - RCU quiescent * state is passed */ return; /* inet_diag_dump is finally called: */ inet_diag_dump() handler = inet_diag_table[cb->nlh->nlmsg_type]; BUG_ON(handler == NULL); /* OOPS! While we slept the unregister has set * handler to NULL :( */ Grep showed, that the register/unregister functions are called from init/fini module callbacks for tcp_/dccp_diag, so it's OK to use the inet_diag_mutex to synchronize manipulations with the inet_diag_table and the access to it. Besides, as Herbert pointed out, asynchronous dumps should hold this mutex as well, and thus, we provide the mutex as cb_mutex one.
