[PATCH net 1/2] tun: hold napi_mutex for all napi operations

[Stanislav Fomichev]

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000d1
Call Trace:
 ? napi_gro_frags+0xa7/0x2c0
 tun_get_user+0xb50/0xf20
 tun_chr_write_iter+0x53/0x70
 new_sync_write+0xff/0x160

I think there is a subtle race between sending a packet via tap and
attaching it:

CPU0:                    CPU1:
tun_chr_ioctl(TUNSETIFF)
  tun_set_iff
    tun_attach
      rcu_assign_pointer(tfile->tun, tun);
                         tun_fops->write_iter()
                           tun_chr_write_iter
                             tun_napi_alloc_frags
                               napi_get_frags
                                 napi->skb = napi_alloc_skb
      tun_napi_init
        netif_napi_add
          napi->skb = NULL
                              napi->skb is NULL here
                              napi_gro_frags
                                napi_frags_skb
                                  skb = napi->skb
                                  skb_reset_mac_header(skb)
                                  panic()

To fix, do the following:
* Move rcu_assign_pointer(tfile->tun, tun) to be the last thing we do
  in tun_attach(); this should guarantee that when we call tun_get()
  we always get an initialized object
* As another safeguard, always grab napi_mutex whenever doing any
  napi operation; this should prevent napi state change between
  calls to napi_get_frags and napi_gro_frags
