net: xfrm: fix a race condition during allocing spi
we found that the following race condition exists in xfrm_alloc_userspi flow: user thread state_hash_work thread ---- ---- xfrm_alloc_userspi() __find_acq_core() /*alloc new xfrm_state:x*/ xfrm_state_alloc() /*schedule state_hash_work thread*/ xfrm_hash_grow_check() xfrm_hash_resize() xfrm_alloc_spi /*hold lock*/ x->id.spi = htonl(spi) spin_lock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock) /*waiting lock release*/ xfrm_hash_transfer() spin_lock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock) /*add x into hlist:net->xfrm.state_byspi*/ hlist_add_head_rcu(&x->byspi) spin_unlock_bh(&net->xfrm.xfrm_state_lock) /*add x into hlist:net->xfrm.state_byspi 2 times*/ hlist_add_head_rcu(&x->byspi) 1. a new state x is alloced in xfrm_state_alloc() and added into the bydst hlist in __find_acq_core() on the LHS; 2. on the RHS, state_hash_work thread travels the old bydst and tranfers every xfrm_state (include x) into the new bydst hlist and new byspi hlist; 3. user thread on the LHS gets the lock and adds x into the new byspi hlist again. So the same xfrm_state (x) is added into the same list_hash (net->xfrm.state_byspi) 2 times that makes the list_hash become an inifite loop. To fix the race, x->id.spi = htonl(spi) in the xfrm_alloc_spi() is moved to the back of spin_lock_bh, sothat state_hash_work thread no longer add x which id.spi is zero into the hash_list.
