Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nnet/sched: Fix mirred deadlock on device recursion\nWhen the mirred action is used on a classful egress qdisc and a packet is\nmirrored or redirected to self we hit a qdisc lock deadlock.\nSee trace below.\n[..... other info removed for brevity....]\n[ 82.890906]\n[ 82.890906] ============================================\n[ 82.890906] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected\n[ 82.890906] 6.8.0-05205-g77fadd89fe2d-dirty #213 Tainted: G W\n[ 82.890906] --------------------------------------------\n[ 82.890906] ping/418 is trying to acquire lock:\n[ 82.890906] ffff888006994110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at:\n__dev_queue_xmit+0x1778/0x3550\n[ 82.890906]\n[ 82.890906] but task is already holding lock:\n[ 82.890906] ffff888006994110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at:\n__dev_queue_xmit+0x1778/0x3550\n[ 82.890906]\n[ 82.890906] other info that might help us debug this:\n[ 82.890906] Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n[ 82.890906]\n[ 82.890906] CPU0\n[ 82.890906] ----\n[ 82.890906] lock(&sch->q.lock);\n[ 82.890906] lock(&sch->q.lock);\n[ 82.890906]\n[ 82.890906] *** DEADLOCK ***\n[ 82.890906]\n[..... other info removed for brevity....]\nExample setup (eth0->eth0) to recreate\ntc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30\ntc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \\naction mirred egress redirect dev eth0\nAnother example(eth0->eth1->eth0) to recreate\ntc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30\ntc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \\naction mirred egress redirect dev eth1\ntc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default 30\ntc filter add dev eth1 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \\naction mirred egress redirect dev eth0\nWe fix this by adding an owner field (CPU id) to struct Qdisc set after\nroot qdisc is entered. When the softirq enters it a second time, if the\nqdisc owner is the same CPU, the packet is dropped to break the loop.
