netlink: fix potential deadlock in netlink_set_err()
syzbot reported a possible deadlock in netlink_set_err() [1] A similar issue was fixed in commit 1d482e66 ("netlink: disable IRQs for netlink_lock_table()") in netlink_lock_table() This patch adds IRQ safety to netlink_set_err() and __netlink_diag_dump() which were not covered by cited commit. [1] WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected 6.4.0-rc6-syzkaller-00240-g4e9f0ec3 #0 Not tainted syz-executor.2/23011 just changed the state of lock: ffffffff8e1a7a58 (nl_table_lock){.+.?}-{2:2}, at: netlink_set_err+0x2e/0x3a0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1612 but this lock was taken by another, SOFTIRQ-safe lock in the past: (&local->queue_stop_reason_lock){..-.}-{2:2} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. other info that might help us debug this: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(nl_table_lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock); lock(nl_table_lock); <Interrupt> lock(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** Fixes: 1d482e66 ("netlink: disable IRQs for netlink_lock_table()") Reported-by: syzbot+a7d200a347f912723e5c@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Link: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a7d200a347f912723e5c Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/000000000000e38d1605fea5747e@google.com/T/#uSigned-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230621154337.1668594-1-edumazet@google.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
