<title>net/smc: release the internal TCP sock on IPPROTO_SMC socket creation failure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cec261b0b4c5c0b044165303198d10ffcdf3414c</id>
<content type='text'>
IPPROTO_SMC sockets create an internal TCP sock ("clcsock") from the
proto-&gt;init hook. When socket creation fails after proto-&gt;init has
run - e.g. a cgroup BPF program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE
denies the socket - sk_common_release() only invokes sk_prot-&gt;destroy
if it is set, but neither smc_inet_prot nor smc_inet6_prot defines it,
and smc_destruct() returns early unless sk_state is SMC_CLOSED. As a
result, every failing socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC) call
leaks one tcp_sock, so an unprivileged task able to attach a deny-all
BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE program to its own cgroup can grow kernel
memory unboundedly.

Add a .destroy hook to both protos that releases the clcsock via
smc_clcsock_release(). smc_sk_init() hashes the sock into the smc
hashinfo before the clcsock is created, and smc_diag dumps walk that
hash dereferencing smc-&gt;clcsock without taking clcsock_release_lock,
while sk_common_release() calls .destroy before .unhash. Unhash the
sock before releasing the clcsock, as __smc_release() does, so a
concurrent dump cannot observe the release; the second unhash in
sk_common_release() is a no-op.

smc_rx_splice() hands RMB pages to a pipe and takes a socket reference
per entry so the smc_sock stays alive until the reader finishes. The
connection does not: a concurrent close runs smc_conn_free(), which
releases the receive buffer back to the link group pool.

smc_rx_pipe_buf_release() tests sk_state before taking the socket lock.
The state can change between the test and the lock, and
smc_rx_update_cons() then dereferences conn-&gt;rmb_desc and walks
conn-&gt;lgr, which smc_conn_free() has already released. On the
is_reg_err path smcr_buf_unuse() frees the descriptor outright, so
this is a use-after-free.

Take the socket lock first and test conn-&gt;freed instead.
smc_conn_free() sets that flag before releasing anything, and every
caller holds the socket lock. The two paths exclude each other: either
the pipe release runs first with everything valid, or it sees the flag
and skips the update.

<title>net/smc: stop killed, freed and out_of_sync sharing a byte</title>

<id>urn:sha1:db51a8658c11a82432b64999519a269c3aabb447</id>
<content type='text'>
The three connection state flags are single-bit bitfields, so they occupy
one byte of struct smc_connection and every store to one is a
read-modify-write of the other two:

    u8  killed : 1;
    u8  freed : 1;
    u8  out_of_sync : 1;

They are not written under a common lock. smc_cdc_msg_validate() sets
out_of_sync from the receive tasklet, while smc_conn_kill() sets killed
from process context under lock_sock(), and the receive path does not defer
to the backlog when the socket is owned -- smc_cdc_msg_recv() takes only
bh_lock_sock().

Give each flag its own byte so a store no longer touches its neighbours.
All readers test them as booleans and are unchanged. struct smc_connection
grows by two bytes.

<title>net/smc: fix socket refcount leak in smc_switch_conns()</title>

<content type='text'>
smc_switch_conns() takes a reference on the SMC socket before dropping
lgr-&gt;conns_lock, so the connection stays alive while the CDC slot is
fetched:

        sock_hold(&amp;smc-&gt;sk);
        read_unlock_bh(&amp;lgr-&gt;conns_lock);
        /* pre-fetch buffer outside of send_lock, might sleep */
        rc = smc_cdc_get_free_slot(conn, to_lnk, &amp;wr_buf, NULL, &amp;pend);
        if (rc)
                goto err_out;

The err_out label only drops the wr_tx link reference, so this early exit
returns without the matching sock_put(). The second error exit is not
affected, because sock_put() has already run by then.

A leaked sk_refcnt means the smc_sock is never destroyed. Its send and
receive buffers stay allocated, and for a user socket the reference held
on the network namespace is never released, so the netns can no longer be
torn down.

smc_cdc_get_free_slot() fails when the target link goes down or when the
connection has been killed while the switch is in progress. Both are
reachable during the link failover this function implements, so the leak
is triggered by the same hardware events that make smc_switch_conns() run
in the first place.

Restructure so there is a single sock_put() covering both outcomes,
instead of adding a second one to the error path.

<title>net/smc: carry oversized SMC-Rv2 LLC messages in the queue entry</title>

smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() and smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() read the part
of a v2 message that does not fit into the 44-byte union smc_llc_msg, and
both bound themselves by the size of the buffer it landed in, not by what
arrived. On a link with a shared v2 receive buffer a 44-byte
DELETE_RKEY_V2 declaring 255 rkeys reaches rkey[9..254] in whatever an
earlier message left in lgr-&gt;wr_rx_buf_v2, and passes each of them to
smc_rtoken_delete(). One of those 255 matched a registered rtoken and
deleted it. An ADD_LINK on such a link installs up to 255 rtokens from
the same bytes.

Copy the tail into the queue entry, so its length is the length of the
message that arrived, and declare the rkeys that fit inline as a member of
the union instead of reaching them through a cast. The same
DELETE_RKEY_V2 now processes the 9 rkeys it carries. The copy is limited
to the longest tail the two functions can read, so the peer does not pick
the size of the entry.

The bound the previous patch placed on links without a shared v2 receive
buffer is no longer needed.

On a link whose device has max_recv_sge == 1 there is no shared v2 receive
buffer, and smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() takes the v2 extension from 44
bytes past the start of the queue entry's inline message:

  ext = (struct smc_llc_msg_add_link_v2_ext *)(llc_msg + SMC_WR_TX_SIZE);

The entry is a 72-byte allocation and the extension starts at offset 68, so
ext-&gt;num_rkeys at offset 94 is already past it. This happens on every
SMC-Rv2 link addition, whatever the peer sends:

Whatever that read finds then bounds the ext-&gt;rt[] loop, so a peer that
declares 255 rkeys reads much further. smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() has the
same shape for llcv2-&gt;rkey[].

Bound both loops by the buffer they read from, and skip the extension
altogether when there is no shared v2 receive buffer. The extension
does arrive on the link, but smc_llc_enqueue() copies only
sizeof(union smc_llc_msg) into the queue entry, so what that code read
past the 44 inline bytes was heap and not peer data.

smc_llc_srv_add_link() keeps add_llc pointing into the queue entry:

  add_llc = &amp;qentry-&gt;msg.add_link;			smc_llc.c:1482
  ...
  smc_llc_save_add_link_info(link_new, add_llc);	smc_llc.c:1494
  smc_llc_flow_qentry_del(&amp;lgr-&gt;llc_flow_lcl);		smc_llc.c:1495
  ...
  u8 *llc_msg = smc_link_shared_v2_rxbuf(link) ?
	(u8 *)lgr-&gt;wr_rx_buf_v2 : (u8 *)add_llc;	smc_llc.c:1504
  smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys(link, link_new, llc_msg);	smc_llc.c:1506

smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() kfree()s the entry, so on a link without a shared
v2 receive buffer the pointer handed to smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() is
already freed. Before the Fixes: commit that branch always used
lgr-&gt;wr_rx_buf_v2 and add_llc was not used after the free.

Reproduced on an unpatched tree over rxe, with KASAN, kasan_multi_shot
and a link forced to max_recv_sge == 1: the entry is freed and read by
the same call, and the freeing frame is smc_llc_srv_add_link() itself.

The offset is past the 72-byte queue entry because the out-of-bounds read
fixed by the next patch is on the same line; what this patch removes is the
free at smc_llc_srv_add_link+0x9a8 happening before the read at +0xaa2.

Detach the entry instead of freeing it there, and free it at the single
exit label. The reject path has to detach as well, otherwise it would be
freed twice.

This changes only the lifetime of the entry. The same read still runs past
its end until the next two patches bound it, so a backport wants all three.

<title>net/smc: free pending qentry in smc_llc_flow_stop() before memset</title>

smc_llc_flow_stop() resets a flow struct with a blind memset:

	spin_lock_bh(&amp;lgr-&gt;llc_flow_lock);
	memset(flow, 0, sizeof(*flow));
	flow-&gt;type = SMC_LLC_FLOW_NONE;
	spin_unlock_bh(&amp;lgr-&gt;llc_flow_lock);

If flow-&gt;qentry is non-NULL at this point the pointer is overwritten without the
allocation being freed, leaking one kmalloc object.

A late-arriving duplicate CONFIRM_LINK or ADD_LINK_CONT message can set
flow-&gt;qentry after the legitimate message has been consumed by the waiter via
smc_llc_flow_qentry_clr() (which NULLs the pointer but leaves flow-&gt;type
non-zero) but before the flow completes and smc_llc_flow_stop() runs.  In that
window the duplicate is stashed into flow-&gt;qentry, and then lost when
smc_llc_flow_stop() zeros the struct.

Call smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() inside the lock before the memset.
smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() already checks flow-&gt;qentry before freeing, so the
normal case where no entry is pending is a no-op.
