Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> Bluetooth: avoid deadlock between hci_dev-&gt;lock and socket lock<br /> <br /> Commit eab2404ba798 ("Bluetooth: Add BT_PHY socket option") added a<br /> dependency between socket lock and hci_dev-&gt;lock that could lead to<br /> deadlock.<br /> <br /> It turns out that hci_conn_get_phy() is not in any way relying on hdev<br /> being immutable during the runtime of this function, neither does it even<br /> look at any of the members of hdev, and as such there is no need to hold<br /> that lock.<br /> <br /> This fixes the lockdep splat below:<br /> <br /> ======================================================<br /> WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected<br /> 5.12.0-rc1-00026-g73d464503354 #10 Not tainted<br /> ------------------------------------------------------<br /> bluetoothd/1118 is trying to acquire lock:<br /> ffff8f078383c078 (&amp;hdev-&gt;lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> <br /> but task is already holding lock:<br /> ffff8f07e831d920 (sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: l2cap_sock_getsockopt+0x8b/0x610<br /> <br /> which lock already depends on the new lock.<br /> <br /> the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:<br /> <br /> -&gt; #3 (sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP){+.+.}-{0:0}:<br /> lock_sock_nested+0x72/0xa0<br /> l2cap_sock_ready_cb+0x18/0x70 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_config_rsp+0x27a/0x520 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_sig_channel+0x658/0x1330 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_recv_frame+0x1ba/0x310 [bluetooth]<br /> hci_rx_work+0x1cc/0x640 [bluetooth]<br /> process_one_work+0x244/0x5f0<br /> worker_thread+0x3c/0x380<br /> kthread+0x13e/0x160<br /> ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30<br /> <br /> -&gt; #2 (&amp;chan-&gt;lock#2/1){+.+.}-{3:3}:<br /> __mutex_lock+0xa3/0xa10<br /> l2cap_chan_connect+0x33a/0x940 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_sock_connect+0x141/0x2a0 [bluetooth]<br /> __sys_connect+0x9b/0xc0<br /> __x64_sys_connect+0x16/0x20<br /> do_syscall_64+0x33/0x80<br /> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae<br /> <br /> -&gt; #1 (&amp;conn-&gt;chan_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}:<br /> __mutex_lock+0xa3/0xa10<br /> l2cap_chan_connect+0x322/0x940 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_sock_connect+0x141/0x2a0 [bluetooth]<br /> __sys_connect+0x9b/0xc0<br /> __x64_sys_connect+0x16/0x20<br /> do_syscall_64+0x33/0x80<br /> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae<br /> <br /> -&gt; #0 (&amp;hdev-&gt;lock){+.+.}-{3:3}:<br /> __lock_acquire+0x147a/0x1a50<br /> lock_acquire+0x277/0x3d0<br /> __mutex_lock+0xa3/0xa10<br /> hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> l2cap_sock_getsockopt+0x5a9/0x610 [bluetooth]<br /> __sys_getsockopt+0xcc/0x200<br /> __x64_sys_getsockopt+0x20/0x30<br /> do_syscall_64+0x33/0x80<br /> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae<br /> <br /> other info that might help us debug this:<br /> <br /> Chain exists of:<br /> &amp;hdev-&gt;lock --&gt; &amp;chan-&gt;lock#2/1 --&gt; sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP<br /> <br /> Possible unsafe locking scenario:<br /> <br /> CPU0 CPU1<br /> ---- ----<br /> lock(sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP);<br /> lock(&amp;chan-&gt;lock#2/1);<br /> lock(sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP);<br /> lock(&amp;hdev-&gt;lock);<br /> <br /> *** DEADLOCK ***<br /> <br /> 1 lock held by bluetoothd/1118:<br /> #0: ffff8f07e831d920 (sk_lock-AF_BLUETOOTH-BTPROTO_L2CAP){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: l2cap_sock_getsockopt+0x8b/0x610 [bluetooth]<br /> <br /> stack backtrace:<br /> CPU: 3 PID: 1118 Comm: bluetoothd Not tainted 5.12.0-rc1-00026-g73d464503354 #10<br /> Hardware name: LENOVO 20K5S22R00/20K5S22R00, BIOS R0IET38W (1.16 ) 05/31/2017<br /> Call Trace:<br /> dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1<br /> check_noncircular+0x105/0x120<br /> ? __lock_acquire+0x147a/0x1a50<br /> __lock_acquire+0x147a/0x1a50<br /> lock_acquire+0x277/0x3d0<br /> ? hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> ? __lock_acquire+0x2e1/0x1a50<br /> ? lock_is_held_type+0xb4/0x120<br /> ? hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> __mutex_lock+0xa3/0xa10<br /> ? hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> ? lock_acquire+0x277/0x3d0<br /> ? mark_held_locks+0x49/0x70<br /> ? mark_held_locks+0x49/0x70<br /> ? hci_conn_get_phy+0x1c/0x150 [bluetooth]<br /> hci_conn_get_phy+0x<br /> ---truncated---
