The faulting address is the address of the old chain head,
free'd by xfrm_hash_resize().
In xfrm_hash_rehash(), chain heads get re-initialized without
any hlist_del_rcu:
for (i = hmask; i >= 0; i--)
INIT_HLIST_HEAD(odst + i);
Then, hlist_del_rcu() gets called on the about to-be-reinserted policy
when iterating the per-net list of policies.
hlist_del_rcu() will then make chain->first be nonzero again:
static inline void __hlist_del(struct hlist_node *n)
{
struct hlist_node *next = n->next; // address of next element in list
struct hlist_node **pprev = n->pprev;// location of previous elem, this
// can point at chain->first
WRITE_ONCE(*pprev, next); // chain->first points to next elem
if (next)
next->pprev = pprev;
Then, when we walk chainlist to find insertion point, we may find a
non-empty list even though we're supposedly reinserting the first
policy to an empty chain.
To fix this first unlink all exact and inexact policies instead of
zeroing the list heads.
Add the commands equivalent to the syzbot reproducer to xfrm_policy.sh,
without fix KASAN catches the corruption as it happens, SLUB poisoning
detects it a bit later.
