From 28206cdb3bc079a97d24c33b4427395f9e406fad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 10:23:45 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] drivers, net: convert masces_tx_sa.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable masces_tx_sa.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: David S.
