net: mscc: ocelot: mark traps with a bool instead of keeping them in a list
Since the blamed commit, VCAP filters can appear on more than one list. If their action is "trap", they are chained on ocelot->traps via filter->trap_list. This is in addition to their normal placement on the VCAP block->rules list head. Therefore, when we free a VCAP filter, we must remove it from all lists it is a member of, including ocelot->traps. There are at least 2 bugs which are direct consequences of this design decision. First is the incorrect usage of list_empty(), meant to denote whether "filter" is chained into ocelot->traps via filter->trap_list. This does not do the correct thing, because list_empty() checks whether "head->next == head", but in our case, head->next == head->prev == NULL. So we dereference NULL pointers and die when we call list_del(). Second is the fact that not all places that should remove the filter from ocelot->traps do so. One example is ocelot_vcap_block_remove_filter(), which is where we have the main kfree(filter). By keeping freed filters in ocelot->traps we end up in a use-after-free in felix_update_trapping_destinations(). Attempting to fix all the buggy patterns is a whack-a-mole game which makes the driver unmaintainable. Actually this is what the previous patch version attempted to do: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220503115728.834457-3-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ but it introduced another set of bugs, because there are other places in which create VCAP filters, not just ocelot_vcap_filter_create(): - ocelot_trap_add() - felix_tag_8021q_vlan_add_rx() - felix_tag_8021q_vlan_add_tx() Relying on the convention that all those code paths must call INIT_LIST_HEAD(&filter->trap_list) is not going to scale. So let's do what should have been done in the first place and keep a bool in struct ocelot_vcap_filter which denotes whether we are looking at a trapping rule or not. Iterating now happens over the main VCAP IS2 block->rules. The advantage is that we no longer risk having stale references to a freed filter, since it is only present in that list.
