From 77c523dfb0535d10df809426da2d2097e5b14d9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiawei Ye Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2024 08:18:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix mismatched RCU unlock flavour in bpf_out_neigh_v6 [ Upstream commit fb86c42a2a5d44e849ddfbc98b8d2f4f40d36ee3 ] In the bpf_out_neigh_v6 function, rcu_read_lock() is used to begin an RCU read-side critical section. However, when unlocking, one branch incorrectly uses a different RCU unlock flavour rcu_read_unlock_bh() instead of rcu_read_unlock(). This mismatch in RCU locking flavours can lead to unexpected behavior and potential concurrency issues. This possible bug was identified using a static analysis tool developed by myself, specifically designed to detect RCU-related issues. This patch corrects the mismatched unlock flavour by replacing the incorrect rcu_read_unlock_bh() with the appropriate rcu_read_unlock(), ensuring that the RCU critical section is properly exited. This change prevents potential synchronization issues and aligns with proper RCU usage patterns.
