[PATCH net] rds: ib: Clear the sg list when mapping an MR fails

flat view
COLD18d

Subsystem: networking [general], rds - reliable datagram sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Allison Henderson, Linus Torvalds

rds_ib_map_frmr() stores the caller's scatterlist in the MR before DMA
mapping and registration can fail. On failure, __rds_rdma_map() unpins
the pages and frees the scatterlist, but rds_ib_free_frmr() can still
return the MR to the pool with the stale pointer set.

This leaves the pool with a dangling scatterlist and can lead to local
privilege escalation. KASAN detects the resulting use-after-free when the
MR is later torn down:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __rds_ib_teardown_mr
Read of size 8

Call Trace:
 __rds_ib_teardown_mr
 rds_ib_unreg_frmr
 rds_ib_flush_mr_pool
 rds_ib_flush_mrs
 rds_free_mr
 rds_setsockopt

Clear the scatterlist fields before returning an error so the caller
retains sole ownership of the scatterlist and its pinned pages. Route a
zero-length DMA mapping through the same cleanup path, and skip unmap
when no mapping was created.
