vhost/net: Protect ubufs with rcu read lock in vhost_net_ubuf_put()
commit dd54bcf86c91a4455b1f95cbc8e9ac91205f3193 upstream. When operating on struct vhost_net_ubuf_ref, the following execution sequence is theoretically possible: CPU0 is finalizing DMA operation CPU1 is doing VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND // ubufs->refcount == 2 vhost_net_ubuf_put() vhost_net_ubuf_put_wait_and_free(oldubufs) vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait() vhost_net_ubuf_put() int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 1 int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 0 wait_event(ubufs->wait, !atomic_read(&ubufs->refcount)); // no wait occurs here because condition is already true kfree(ubufs); if (unlikely(!r)) wake_up(&ubufs->wait); // use-after-free This leads to use-after-free on ubufs access. This happens because CPU1 skips waiting for wake_up() when refcount is already zero. To prevent that use a read-side RCU critical section in vhost_net_ubuf_put(), as suggested by Hillf Danton. For this lock to take effect, free ubufs with kfree_rcu().
