Linux kernel source tree

NFSD has always supported added network listeners. The new netlink protocol now enables the removal of listeners. Olga noticed that if an RDMA listener is removed and immediately re-added, the deferred __svc_rdma_free() function might not have run yet, so some or all of the old listener's RDMA resources linger, which prevents a new listener on the same address from being created. Also, svc_xprt_free() does a module_put() just after calling ->xpo_free(). That means if there is deferred work going on, the module could be unloaded before that work is even started, resulting in a UAF. Neil asks: > What particular part of __svc_rdma_free() needs to run in order for a > subsequent registration to succeed? > Can that bit be run directory from svc_rdma_free() rather than be > delayed? > (I know almost nothing about rdma so forgive me if the answers to these > questions seems obvious) The reasons I can recall are: - Some of the transport tear-down work can sleep - Releasing a cm_id is tricky and can deadlock We might be able to mitigate the second issue with judicious application of transport reference counting.

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 reStructuredText 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.
