Subject: [PATCH net] net/smc: serialize sndbuf descriptor release with diagnostic dumps
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 15:32:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927073203.3694279-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
An SMC-D connection can remain in the socket hash while smc_conn_kill()
tears it down. For devices supporting DMB nocopy, smcd_buf_detach() frees
the send buffer descriptor without taking the hash lock held by the
diagnostic reader.
__smc_diag_dump() can load a non-NULL conn->sndbuf_desc, then a concurrent
smc_conn_kill() can clear the pointer and free the descriptor before the
dump reads its len field. The socket lock held by the teardown path does
not exclude the dump, and clearing the pointer before freeing it does
not protect a reader that has already loaded it.
KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __smc_diag_dump.constprop.0+0x2477/0x2b10
Call Trace:
__smc_diag_dump.constprop.0+0x2477/0x2b10

__smc_lgr_terminate.part.0+0x231/0x430
smc_smcd_terminate_all+0x2cf/0x610
Take the hash write lock when removing the descriptor from the
connection. This waits for dumps holding the old pointer and prevents
new dumps from seeing it. Free the descriptor after dropping the lock.
