Bluetooth: Fix atomicity violation in {min,max}_key_size_set

In min_key_size_set():

    if (val > hdev->le_max_key_size || val < SMP_MIN_ENC_KEY_SIZE)
        return -EINVAL;
    hci_dev_lock(hdev);
    hdev->le_min_key_size = val;
    hci_dev_unlock(hdev);

In max_key_size_set():

    if (val > SMP_MAX_ENC_KEY_SIZE || val < hdev->le_min_key_size)
        return -EINVAL;
    hci_dev_lock(hdev);
    hdev->le_max_key_size = val;
    hci_dev_unlock(hdev);

The atomicity violation occurs due to concurrent execution of set_min and set_max funcs.Consider a scenario where setmin writes a new, valid 'min' value, and concurrently, setmax writes a value that is greater than the old 'min' but smaller than the new 'min'. In this case, setmax might check against the old 'min' value (before acquiring the lock) but write its value after the 'min' has been updated by setmin. This leads to a situation where the 'max' value ends up being smaller than the 'min' value, which is an inconsistency.

This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool developed by our team, BassCheck[1]. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations. The above possible bug is reported when our tool analyzes the source code of Linux 5.17.

To resolve this issue, it is suggested to encompass the validity checks within the locked sections in both set_min and set_max funcs. The modification ensures that the validation of 'val' against the current min/max values is atomic, thus maintaining the integrity of the settings. With this patch applied, our tool no longer reports the bug, with the kernel configuration allyesconfig for x86_64. Due to the lack of associated hardware, we cannot test the patch in runtime testing, and just verify it according to the code logic.

Regards,
Linux Bluetooth

Dear All, I hope this message finds you well. Following up on my previous email regarding the patch, I want to highlight an important aspect. In /net/bluetooth/hci_debugfs.c, there are four similar bugs related to atomicity violations, potentially leading to minimum values exceeding maximum ones. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/[email protected]/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/[email protected]/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/[email protected]/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/bluetooth/patch/[email protected]/ I kindly request your review of these issues alongside the original patch. Understanding your busy schedules, your prompt attention to this consolidated review would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Han
