Patch [1] fixes possible race between swap/destroy and add/del/test. Here is is possible order of events when this race can lead to double free with kfree_rcu on already freed hash bucket:
# Thread 1 +-> ip_set_add +-> set = ip_set_rcu_get(xt_net(par), index) < pause > # Thread 2 ipset swap ipset destroy +-> mtype_destroy +-> mtype_ahash_destroy +-> n = __ipset_dereference(hbucket(t, i)) +-> kfree(n) # Thread 1 < unpause > +-> ip_set_lock(set) +-> hash_net4_kadt +-> mtype_variant->adt[adt] +-> net4_kadt_add (mtype_add) +-> n = rcu_dereference_bh(hbucket(t, key)) +-> if (n->pos >= n->size) +-> old = n +-> if (old != ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)) +-> kfree_rcu(old, rcu) That can in it's turn lead to possible rcu free list corruption if this double fried memory is reused just after rcu_free and before actual rcu callback. note1: The patch [1] has a reproducer but, sadly, I was unable to reproduce the situation, even adding mdelay(100) to ip_set_add/del/test. note2: All other patches are fixups to the original fixing patch. note3: We don't have proof that this a fix to original issue, we only know that ipset hash buckets were several times seen double freed just before crash, which might indirectly indicate that the original problem is related to ipset hash buckets.
