This patch series addresses several races with L2TP APIs discovered by syzbot. While working on this, it became clear that the L2TP code needed some work to address object lifetime issues. There are no functional changes.
The set of patches 1-13 in combination fix the following syzbot reports. 9df43faf0 KASAN: use-after-free Read in pppol2tp_connect 6e6a5ec8d general protection fault in pppol2tp_connect 347bd5acd KASAN: use-after-free Read in inet_shutdown 19c09769f WARNING in debug_print_object In detail:- 1. Add RCU protection of sk_user_data. Since L2TP hooks on sockets opened by userspace, we may race with other socket families that attempt to use the same socket. (patches 1-2) 2. Fix inet_shutdown races when L2TP tunnels close. (patch 3) 3. Refactor code to address internal object lifetime issues. Previously internal refcounts and socket refcounts were used inconsistently and led to workarounds to fix specific bugs. With the changes made here, we can now fetch the tunnel/session context from its socket sk_user_data and fetch the socket from the tunnel/session without using other APIs such as sockfd_lookup. (patches 4-8) 4. Refactor pppol2tp_connect to fix several races and split it up to improve readability. (patch 9) 5. Refactor session destroy paths to use a workqueue such that all session cleanup is done using common code, regardless of whether the session is closed by netlink request or (in the case of ppp) its socket closed. (patches 10-13) 6. Misc cleanups made possible by the refactoring done in this series. (patches 14-16) Changes in v2:- Fix compile error that would have broken bisect.
