igmp: convert struct ip_sf_list to RCU

2026-09-01T00:22:03+00:00

Commit 23d2b94043ca ("igmp: Add ip_mc_list lock in ip_check_mc_rcu") added spin_lock_bh(&im->lock) to ip_check_mc_rcu() to prevent a use-after-free while iterating im->sources during concurrent deletions. However, ip_check_mc_rcu() is called from RCU read-side critical sections in packet receive and route lookup fast paths (e.g. __mkroute_output(), ip_route_input_rcu(), and __udp4_lib_rcv()). When igmpv3_send_cr() or igmpv3_send_report() holds &pmc->lock and calls add_grec() -> igmpv3_newpack() -> ip_route_output_ports(), an XFRM policy matching a multicast destination triggers xfrm_tmpl_resolve_one() -> xfrm4_get_saddr() -> __mkroute_output() -> ip_check_mc_rcu(). This attempts to acquire &im->lock while &pmc->lock is already held on the same CPU, triggering a lockdep recursive locking warning / deadlock. Fix this by converting IPv4 struct ip_sf_list to RCU, mirroring the IPv6 implementation in net/ipv6/mcast.c: 1. Add struct rcu_head to struct ip_sf_list and annotate sf_next, sources, and tomb as __rcu pointers. 2. Use rcu_assign_pointer() and kfree_rcu() for list updates and deletions. 3. Remove spin_lock_bh(&im->lock) from ip_check_mc_rcu() and traverse im->sources locklessly with for_each_psf_rcu(), reading and writing counter fields with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Note: RCU conversion of /proc/net/mcfilter will be done in a separate patch.

ipv4: igmp: Fix potential memory leaks in igmp_mod_timer() and igmp_stop_timer()

2026-07-08T12:41:01+00:00

When a timer is deleted and not re-armed in igmp_mod_timer(), or stopped in igmp_stop_timer(), the code currently decrements the reference counter of the multicast list entry @im using refcount_dec(&im->refcnt). However, both functions can be called from the RCU reader path: - igmp_mod_timer() via igmp_heard_query() -> for_each_pmc_rcu() - igmp_stop_timer() via igmp_rcv() -> igmp_heard_report() If the group im was concurrently removed from the list by ip_mc_dec_group(), its reference count might have already been decremented to 1. In this case, timer_delete() succeeds, and refcount_dec() decrements the refcount from 1 to 0. Since refcount_dec() does not free the object when it hits 0 (unlike ip_ma_put()), the im structure is leaked. Fix this by using ip_ma_put(im) instead of refcount_dec(&im->refcnt), and deferring the put until after the spinlock is released.

ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()

2026-07-08T12:41:01+00:00

A race condition exists between device teardown (inetdev_destroy) and incoming IGMP query processing (igmp_rcv), leading to a Use-After-Free in the IGMP timer callback. During device destruction, inetdev_destroy() drops the primary reference to in_device, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of in_device memory is deferred via RCU (using call_rcu()). Concurrently, igmp_rcv() runs under RCU read lock and obtains the in_device pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely dereference in_device even if its refcount has hit 0. However, if CPU-0 calls igmp_gq_start_timer() and re-arms the timer, it attempts to acquire a reference using in_dev_hold(). This increments the refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning. Since the in_device memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU grace period (as the free callback does not check the refcount again), the device is freed while the timer is still armed. When the timer expires, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic. Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper in_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not arm the timer. A similar issue in IPv6 MLD is fixed in a subsequent patch.

ipv4: igmp: remove multicast group from hash table on device destruction

2026-07-07T10:15:39+00:00

When a device is destroyed under RTNL, ip_mc_destroy_dev() iterates through the multicast list and calls ip_ma_put() on each membership, scheduling them for RCU reclamation. However, they are not unlinked from the device's multicast hash table (mc_hash). Since the device remains published in dev->ip_ptr until after ip_mc_destroy_dev() completes, concurrent RCU readers traversing mc_hash can still locate and access the multicast group after its refcount is decremented. If the RCU callback runs and frees the group while a reader is accessing it, a use-after-free occurs. Fix this by unlinking the multicast group from mc_hash using ip_mc_hash_remove() before scheduling it for reclamation.

net: ipv4: report multicast group user count

2026-07-03T06:50:43+00:00

RTM_GETMULTICAST has been part of the rtnetlink ABI for a long time and already reports IPv4 multicast group membership through IFA_MULTICAST and IFA_CACHEINFO. It does not report how many consumers hold each membership, so userspace still has to parse /proc/net/igmp to get the Users column. Add IFA_MC_USERS as a u32 attribute carrying ip_mc_list::users in RTM_GETMULTICAST replies and entry-lifecycle notifications. This gives iproute2 enough information to migrate the IPv4 part of "ip maddr show" from procfs parsing to rtnetlink.

ipv4: igmp: annotate data-races around timer-related fields

2026-06-09T11:19:33+00:00

/proc/net/igmp walks the multicast list locklessly under RCU and reads timer-related fields (im->tm_running, im->reporter, im->timer.expires) to print the timer state of multicast memberships. Concurrently, these fields are modified under im->lock spinlock in timer management paths (igmp_stop_timer(), igmp_start_timer(), and igmp_timer_expire()). Fix this intentional lockless snapshot by annotating the lockless reads with READ_ONCE() and the updates with WRITE_ONCE().
