Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: qdisc_destroy() old ingress and clsact Qdiscs
before grafting

mini_Qdisc_pair::p_miniq is a double pointer to mini_Qdisc, initialized in ingress_init() to point to net_device::miniq_ingress. ingress Qdiscs access this per-net_device pointer in mini_qdisc_pair_swap(). Similar for clsact Qdiscs and miniq_egress.

Unfortunately, after introducing RTNL-unlocked RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}TFILTER requests (thanks Hillf Danton for the hint), when replacing ingress or clsact Qdiscs, for example, the old Qdisc ("@old") could access the same miniq_{in,e}gress pointer(s) concurrently with the new Qdisc ("@new"), causing race conditions [1] including a use-after-free bug in mini_qdisc_pair_swap() reported by syzbot:

@old and @new should not affect each other. In other words, @old should never modify miniq_{in,e}gress after @new, and @new should not update @old's RCU state.

Fixing without changing sch_api.c turned out to be difficult (please refer to Closes: for discussions). Instead, make sure @new's first call always happen after @old's last call (in {ingress,clsact}_destroy()) has finished:

In qdisc_graft(), return -EBUSY if @old has any ongoing filter requests, and call qdisc_destroy() for @old before grafting @new.

Introduce qdisc_refcount_dec_if_one() as the counterpart of qdisc_refcount_inc_nz() used for filter requests. Introduce a non-static version of qdisc_destroy() that does a TCQ_F_BUILTIN check, just like qdisc_put() etc.

Depends on patch "net/sched: Refactor qdisc_graft() for ingress and clsact Qdiscs".

[1] To illustrate, the syzkaller reproducer adds ingress Qdiscs under TC_H_ROOT (no longer possible after commit c7cfbd115001 ("net/sched:
sch_ingress: Only create under TC_H_INGRESS")) on eth0 that has 8 transmission queues:

Thread 1 creates ingress Qdisc A (containing mini Qdisc a1 and a2), then adds a flower filter X to A.

Thread 2 creates another ingress Qdisc B (containing mini Qdisc b1 and b2) to replace A, then adds a flower filter Y to B.

Thread 1 A's refcnt Thread 2
RTM_NEWQDISC (A, RTNL-locked)
qdisc_create(A) 1
qdisc_graft(A) 9

RTM_NEWTFILTER (X, RTNL-unlocked)

tcf_chain0_head_change(A)
mini_qdisc_pair_swap(A) (1st)

tcf_chain0_head_change_cb_del(A) mini_qdisc_pair_swap(B) (2nd)
mini_qdisc_pair_swap(A) (3rd) |
... ...

Here, B calls mini_qdisc_pair_swap(), pointing eth0->miniq_ingress to its mini Qdisc, b1. Then, A calls mini_qdisc_pair_swap() again during ingress_destroy(), setting eth0->miniq_ingress to NULL, so ingress packets on eth0 will not find filter Y in sch_handle_ingress().

This is just one of the possible consequences of concurrently accessing miniq_{in,e}gress pointers.
