CVE-2023-54283 | bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list KCSAN reported a data-race when accessing node->ref. Although node->ref does not have to be accurate, take this chance to use a more common READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() pattern instead of data_race(). There is an existing bpf_lru_node_is_ref() and bpf_lru_node_set_ref(). This patch also adds bpf_lru_node_clear_ref() to do the WRITE_ONCE(node->ref, 0) also. ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __bpf_lru_list_rotate / __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem write to 0xffff888137038deb of 1 bytes by task 11240 on cpu 1: __bpf_lru_node_move kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:113 [inline] __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:149 [inline] __bpf_lru_list_rotate+0x1bf/0x750 kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:240 bpf_lru_list_pop_free_to_local kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:329 [inline] bpf_common_lru_pop_free kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:447 [inline] bpf_lru_pop_free+0x638/0xe20 kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:499 prealloc_lru_pop kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:290 [inline] __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem+0xe7/0x820 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1316 bpf_percpu_hash_update+0x5e/0x90 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:2313 bpf_map_update_value+0x2a9/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:200 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1687 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2d9/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4534 __sys_bpf+0x338/0x810 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5096 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd read to 0xffff888137038deb of 1 bytes by task 11241 on cpu 0: bpf_lru_node_set_ref kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.h:70 [inline] __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem+0x2f1/0x820 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1332 bpf_percpu_hash_update+0x5e/0x90 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:2313 bpf_map_update_value+0x2a9/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:200 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1687 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2d9/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4534 __sys_bpf+0x338/0x810 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5096 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd value changed: 0x01 -> 0x00 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 0 PID: 11241 Comm: syz-executor.3 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7-syzkaller-00136-g6a66fdd29ea1 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 03/30/2023 ==================================================================
