CVE: CVE-2022-48842
Published: 2024-07-16
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: Fix race condition during interface enslave

Commit 5dbbbd01cbba83 ("ice: Avoid RTNL lock when re-creating
auxiliary device") changes a process of re-creation of aux device
so ice_plug_aux_dev() is called from ice_service_task() context.
This unfortunately opens a race window that can result in dead-lock
when interface has left LAG and immediately enters LAG again.

Reproducer:
```
#!/bin/sh

ip link add lag0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100
ip link set lag0

for n in {1..10}; do
        echo Cycle: $n
        ip link set ens7f0 master lag0
        sleep 1
        ip link set ens7f0 nomaster
done
```

This results in:

1. Command 'ip link ... set nomaster' causes that ice_plug_aux_dev()
   is called from ice_service_task() context, aux device is created
   and associated device->lock is taken.
2. Command 'ip link ... set master...' calls ice's notifier under
   RTNL lock and that notifier calls ice_unplug_aux_dev(). That
   function tries to take aux device->lock but this is already taken
   by ice_plug_aux_dev() in step 1
3. Later ice_plug_aux_dev() tries to take RTNL lock but this is already
   taken in step 2
4. Dead-lock

The patch fixes this issue by following changes:
- Bit ICE_FLAG_PLUG_AUX_DEV is kept to be set during ice_plug_aux_dev()
  call in ice_service_task()
- The bit is checked in ice_clear_rdma_cap() and only if it is not set
  then ice_unplug_aux_dev() is called. If it is set (in other words
  plugging of aux device was requested and ice_plug_aux_dev() is
  potentially running) then the function only clears the
