    net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when storing xps_cpus · 1ad58225
    Antoine Tenart authored
    Two race conditions can be triggered when storing xps cpus, resulting in
    various oops and invalid memory accesses:
    
    1. Calling netdev_set_num_tc while netif_set_xps_queue:
    
       - netif_set_xps_queue uses dev->tc_num as one of the parameters to
         compute the size of new_dev_maps when allocating it. dev->tc_num is
         also used to access the map, and the compiler may generate code to
         retrieve this field multiple times in the function.
    
       - netdev_set_num_tc sets dev->tc_num.
    
       If new_dev_maps is allocated using dev->tc_num and then dev->tc_num
       is set to a higher value through netdev_set_num_tc, later accesses to
       new_dev_maps in netif_set_xps_queue could lead to accessing memory
       outside of new_dev_maps; triggering an oops.
    
    2. Calling netif_set_xps_queue while netdev_set_num_tc is running:
    
       2.1. netdev_set_num_tc starts by resetting the xps queues,
            dev->tc_num isn't updated yet.
    
       2.2. netif_set_xps_queue is called, setting up the map with the
            *old* dev->num_tc.
    
       2.3. netdev_set_num_tc updates dev->tc_num.
    
       2.4. Later accesses to the map lead to out of bound accesses and
            oops.
    
       A similar issue can be found with netdev_reset_tc.
    
    One way of triggering this is to set an iface up (for which the driver
    uses netdev_set_num_tc in the open path, such as bnx2x) and writing to
    xps_cpus in a concurrent thread. With the right timing an oops is
    triggered.
    
    Both issues have the same fix: netif_set_xps_queue, netdev_set_num_tc
    and netdev_reset_tc should be mutually exclusive. We do that by taking
    the rtnl lock in xps_cpus_store.
