From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.79 commit a7aa2317285806640c844acd4cd2cd768e395264 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IBPLJA CVE: CVE-2025-21823 Reference: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi... -------------------------------- commit 8c8ecc98f5c65947b0070a24bac11e12e47cc65d upstream. The ELP worker needs to calculate new metric values for all neighbors "reachable" over an interface. Some of the used metric sources require locks which might need to sleep. This sleep is incompatible with the RCU list iterator used for the recorded neighbors. The initial approach to work around of this problem was to queue another work item per neighbor and then run this in a new context. Even when this solved the RCU vs might_sleep() conflict, it has a major problems: Nothing was stopping the work item in case it is not needed anymore - for example because one of the related interfaces was removed or the batman-adv module was unloaded - resulting in potential invalid memory accesses. Directly canceling the metric worker also has various problems: * cancel_work_sync for a to-be-deactivated interface is called with rtnl_lock held. But the code in the ELP metric worker also tries to use rtnl_lock() - which will never return in this case. This also means that cancel_work_sync would never return because it is waiting for the worker to finish. * iterating over the neighbor list for the to-be-deactivated interface is currently done using the RCU specific methods. Which means that it is possible to miss items when iterating over it without the associated spinlock - a behaviour which is acceptable for a periodic metric check but not for a cleanup routine (which must "stop" all still running workers) The better approch is to get rid of the per interface neighbor metric worker and handle everything in the interface worker. The original problems are solved by: * creating a list of neighbors which require new metric information inside the RCU protected context, gathering the metric according to the new list outside the RCU protected context * only use rcu_trylock inside metric gathering code to avoid a deadlock when the cancel_delayed_work_sync is called in the interface removal code (which is called with the rtnl_lock held) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: c833484e5f38 ("batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput") Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Zicheng Qu <quzicheng@huawei.com> --- net/batman-adv/bat_v.c | 2 -- net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.h | 2 -- net/batman-adv/types.h | 3 -- 4 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/batman-adv/bat_v.c b/net/batman-adv/bat_v.c index ac11f1f08db0..d35479c465e2 100644 --- a/net/batman-adv/bat_v.c +++ b/net/batman-adv/bat_v.c @@ -113,8 +113,6 @@ static void batadv_v_hardif_neigh_init(struct batadv_hardif_neigh_node *hardif_neigh) { ewma_throughput_init(&hardif_neigh->bat_v.throughput);
