From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@huawei.com> commit 4c59406ed00379c8663f8663d82b2537467ce9d7 upstream. After xfrm_add_policy add a policy, its ref is 2, then xfrm_policy_timer read_lock xp->walk.dead is 0 .... mod_timer() xfrm_policy_kill policy->walk.dead = 1 .... del_timer(&policy->timer) xfrm_pol_put //ref is 1 xfrm_pol_put //ref is 0 xfrm_policy_destroy call_rcu xfrm_pol_hold //ref is 1 read_unlock xfrm_pol_put //ref is 0 xfrm_policy_destroy call_rcu xfrm_policy_destroy is called twice, which may leads to double free. Call Trace: RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x161/0x210 ... xfrm_policy_timer+0x522/0x600 call_timer_fn+0x1b3/0x5e0 ? __xfrm_decode_session+0x2990/0x2990 ? msleep+0xb0/0xb0 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x24/0x40 ? __xfrm_decode_session+0x2990/0x2990 ? __xfrm_decode_session+0x2990/0x2990 run_timer_softirq+0x5c5/0x10e0 Fix this by use write_lock_bh in xfrm_policy_kill.
