Subject[PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix RCU race in nf_conntrack_find_get (v3)
Date
Lets look at destroy_conntrack:

hlist_nulls_del_rcu(&ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL].hnnode);
...
nf_conntrack_free(ct)
kmem_cache_free(net->ct.nf_conntrack_cachep, ct);

net->ct.nf_conntrack_cachep is created with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU.

The hash is protected by rcu, so readers look up conntracks without
locks.
A conntrack is removed from the hash, but in this moment a few readers
still can use the conntrack. Then this conntrack is released and another
thread creates conntrack with the same address and the equal tuple.
After this a reader starts to validate the conntrack:
* It's not dying, because a new conntrack was created
* nf_ct_tuple_equal() returns true.

But this conntrack is not initialized yet, so it can not be used by two
threads concurrently. In this case BUG_ON may be triggered from
nf_nat_setup_info().

Florian Westphal suggested to check the confirm bit too. I think it's
right.

task 1 task 2 task 3
nf_conntrack_find_get
____nf_conntrack_find
destroy_conntrack
hlist_nulls_del_rcu
nf_conntrack_free
kmem_cache_free
__nf_conntrack_alloc
kmem_cache_alloc
memset(&ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_MAX],
if (nf_ct_is_dying(ct))
if (!nf_ct_tuple_equal()

I'm not sure, that I have ever seen this race condition in a real life.
Currently we are investigating a bug, which is reproduced on a few nodes.
In our case one conntrack is initialized from a few tasks concurrently,
we don't have any other explanation for this.

v2: move nf_ct_is_confirmed into the unlikely() annotation
v3: Eric suggested to fix refcnt, so that it becomes zero before adding
in a hash, but we can't find a way how to do that. Another way is to
interpret the confirm bit as part of a search key and check it in
____nf_conntrack_find() too.
