[ Upstream commit 234ec0b6034b16869d45128b8cd2dc6ffe596f04 ]
I analyze the potential sleeping issue of the following processes:
Thread A Thread B
... netlink_create //ref = 1
do_mq_notify ...
sock = netlink_getsockbyfilp ... //ref = 2
info->notify_sock = sock; ...
... netlink_sendmsg
... skb = netlink_alloc_large_skb //skb->head is vmalloced
... netlink_unicast
... sk = netlink_getsockbyportid //ref = 3
... netlink_sendskb
... __netlink_sendskb
... skb_queue_tail //put skb to sk_receive_queue
... sock_put //ref = 2
... ...
... netlink_release
... deferred_put_nlk_sk //ref = 1
mqueue_flush_file
spin_lock
remove_notification
netlink_sendskb
sock_put //ref = 0
sk_free
...
__sk_destruct
netlink_sock_destruct
skb_queue_purge //get skb from sk_receive_queue
...
__skb_queue_purge_reason
kfree_skb_reason
__kfree_skb
...
skb_release_all
skb_release_head_state
netlink_skb_destructor
vfree(skb->head) //sleeping while holding spinlock
In netlink_sendmsg, if the memory pointed to by skb->head is allocated by
vmalloc, and is put to sk_receive_queue queue, also the skb is not freed.
When the mqueue executes flush, the sleeping bug will occur. Use
vfree_atomic instead of vfree in netlink_skb_destructor to solve the issue.

commit f2764bd4f6a8dffaec3e220728385d9756b3c2cb upstream.
When I added support to allow generic netlink multicast groups to be
restricted to subscribers with CAP_NET_ADMIN I was unaware that a
genl_bind implementation already existed in the past.
It was reverted due to ABBA deadlock:
1. ->netlink_bind gets called with the table lock held.
2. genetlink bind callback is invoked, it grabs the genl lock.
But when a new genl subsystem is (un)registered, these two locks are
taken in reverse order.
One solution would be to revert again and add a comment in genl
referring 1e82a62fec613, "genetlink: remove genl_bind").
This would need a second change in mptcp to not expose the raw token
value anymore, e.g. by hashing the token with a secret key so userspace
can still associate subflow events with the correct mptcp connection.
However, Paolo Abeni reminded me to double-check why the netlink table is
locked in the first place.
I can't find one. netlink_bind() is already called without this lock
when userspace joins a group via NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP setsockopt.
Same holds for the netlink_unbind operation.
Digging through the history, commit f773608026ee1
("netlink: access nlk groups safely in netlink bind and getname")
expanded the lock scope.
commit 3a20773beeeeade ("net: netlink: cap max groups which will be considered in netlink_bind()")
... removed the nlk->ngroups access that the lock scope
extension was all about.
Reduce the lock scope again and always call ->netlink_bind without
the table lock.
The Fixes tag should be vs. the patch mentioned in the link below,
but that one got squash-merged into the patch that came earlier in the
series.
