From 3a36515f729458c8efa0c124c7262d5843ad5c37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 03:04:23 +0200 Subject: netlink: fix splat in skb_clone with large messages Since (c05cdb1 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space), netlink splats if it invokes skb_clone on large netlink skbs since: * skb_shared_info was not correctly initialized. * skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb. This was spotted by trinity: [ 894.990671] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000047b001 [ 894.991034] IP: [] skb_clone+0x24/0xc0 [...] [ 894.991034] Call Trace: [ 894.991034] [] nl_fib_input+0x6a/0x240 [ 894.991034] [] ? _raw_read_unlock+0x26/0x40 [ 894.991034] [] netlink_unicast+0x169/0x1e0 [ 894.991034] [] netlink_sendmsg+0x251/0x3d0 Fix it by: 1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input, that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path. 2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path, moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling. I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found seems to be the fib frontend. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for helping to address this issue. Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S.
