Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netpoll: Fix race condition in netpoll_owner_active<br />
<br />
KCSAN detected a race condition in netpoll:<br />
<br />
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in net_rx_action / netpoll_send_skb<br />
write (marked) to 0xffff8881164168b0 of 4 bytes by interrupt on cpu 10:<br />
net_rx_action (./include/linux/netpoll.h:90 net/core/dev.c:6712 net/core/dev.c:6822)<br />
<br />
read to 0xffff8881164168b0 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 2:<br />
netpoll_send_skb (net/core/netpoll.c:319 net/core/netpoll.c:345 net/core/netpoll.c:393)<br />
netpoll_send_udp (net/core/netpoll.c:?)<br />
<br />
value changed: 0x0000000a -> 0xffffffff<br />
<br />
This happens because netpoll_owner_active() needs to check if the<br />
current CPU is the owner of the lock, touching napi->poll_owner<br />
non atomically. The ->poll_owner field contains the current CPU holding<br />
the lock.<br />
<br />
Use an atomic read to check if the poll owner is the current CPU.
