Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

soc: fsl: qbman: fix race condition in qman_destroy_fq

When QMAN_FQ_FLAG_DYNAMIC_FQID is set, there's a race condition between

fq_table[fq->idx] state and freeing/allocating from the pool and

WARN_ON(fq_table[fq->idx]) in qman_create_fq() gets triggered.

Indeed, we can have:

Thread A Thread B

qman_destroy_fq() qman_create_fq()

qman_release_fqid()

qman_shutdown_fq()

gen_pool_free()

-- At this point, the fqid is available again --

qman_alloc_fqid()

-- so, we can get the just-freed fqid in thread B --

fq->fqid = fqid;

fq->idx = fqid * 2;

WARN_ON(fq_table[fq->idx]);

fq_table[fq->idx] = fq;

fq_table[fq->idx] = NULL;

And adding some logs between qman_release_fqid() and

fq_table[fq->idx] = NULL makes the WARN_ON() trigger a lot more.

To prevent that, ensure that fq_table[fq->idx] is set to NULL before

gen_pool_free() is called by using smp_wmb().
