Chinmay Agarwal 241abccc8a neighbour: Prevent Race condition in neighbour subsytem
commit eefb45eef5c4c425e87667af8f5e904fbdd47abf upstream.

Following Race Condition was detected:

<CPU A, t0>: Executing: __netif_receive_skb() ->__netif_receive_skb_core()
-> arp_rcv() -> arp_process().arp_process() calls __neigh_lookup() which
takes a reference on neighbour entry 'n'.
Moves further along, arp_process() and calls neigh_update()->
__neigh_update(). Neighbour entry is unlocked just before a call to
neigh_update_gc_list.

This unlocking paves way for another thread that may take a reference on
the same and mark it dead and remove it from gc_list.

<CPU B, t1> - neigh_flush_dev() is under execution and calls
neigh_mark_dead(n) marking the neighbour entry 'n' as dead. Also n will be
removed from gc_list.
Moves further along neigh_flush_dev() and calls
neigh_cleanup_and_release(n), but since reference count increased in t1,
'n' couldn't be destroyed.

<CPU A, t3>- Code hits neigh_update_gc_list, with neighbour entry
set as dead.

<CPU A, t4> - arp_process() finally calls neigh_release(n), destroying
the neighbour entry and we have a destroyed ntry still part of gc_list.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
