Vlad Buslov 275a2c08c3 net: sched: flower: insert new filter to idr after setting its mask
[ Upstream commit ecb3dea400 ]

When adding new filter to flower classifier, fl_change() inserts it to
handle_idr before initializing filter extensions and assigning it a mask.
Normally this ordering doesn't matter because all flower classifier ops
callbacks assume rtnl lock protection. However, when filter has an action
that doesn't have its kernel module loaded, rtnl lock is released before
call to request_module(). During this time the filter can be accessed bu
concurrent task before its initialization is completed, which can lead to a
crash.

Example case of NULL pointer dereference in concurrent dump:

Task 1                           Task 2

tc_new_tfilter()
 fl_change()
  idr_alloc_u32(fnew)
  fl_set_parms()
   tcf_exts_validate()
    tcf_action_init()
     tcf_action_init_1()
      rtnl_unlock()
      request_module()
      ...                        rtnl_lock()
      				 tc_dump_tfilter()
      				  tcf_chain_dump()
				   fl_walk()
				    idr_get_next_ul()
				    tcf_node_dump()
				     tcf_fill_node()
				      fl_dump()
				       mask = &f->mask->key; <- NULL ptr
      rtnl_lock()

Extension initialization and mask assignment don't depend on fnew->handle
that is allocated by idr_alloc_u32(). Move idr allocation code after action
creation and mask assignment in fl_change() to prevent concurrent access
to not fully initialized filter when rtnl lock is released to load action
module.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
