Subject[PATCH] relay: handle alloc_percpu returning NULL in relay_open
Date
alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan->buf may be set to
NULL. In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan->buf, ...), we
dereference an invalid pointer:

Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL. Because we can readily catch and
handle this situation, switch to alloc_cpu_gfp and pass in __GFP_NOWARN.

This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer
it found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged
user.

There's a syz reproducer on the powerpc syzbot that eventually hits
the bug, but it can take up to an hour or so before it keels over on a
kernel with all the syzkaller debugging on, and even longer on a
production kernel. I have been able to reproduce it once on a stock
Ubuntu 5.0 ppc64le kernel.

I will ask MITRE for a CVE - while only the process doing the syscall
gets killed, it gets killed while holding the relay_channels_mutex,
so it blocks all future relay activity.
