From be819f7b66031c4a21fdc8edc47a3ecd4cac635d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 13:15:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lockd: convert nsm_handle.sm_count 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 nsm_handle.sm_count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. The full comparison can be seen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon in state to be merged to the documentation tree. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the nsm_handle.sm_count it might make a difference in following places: - nsm_release(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_lock() only provides RELEASE ordering, control dependency on success and holds a spin lock on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart. No change for the spin lock guarantees. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: J.
