Marcelo Leitner 1ea1f33931 Fix race condition between vxlan_sock_add and vxlan_sock_release ...

[ Upstream commit 00c83b01d5 ]

Currently, when trying to reuse a socket, vxlan_sock_add will grab
vn->sock_lock, locate a reusable socket, inc refcount and release
vn->sock_lock.

But vxlan_sock_release() will first decrement refcount, and then grab
that lock. refcnt operations are atomic but as currently we have
deferred works which hold vs->refcnt each, this might happen, leading to
a use after free (specially after vxlan_igmp_leave):

  CPU 1                            CPU 2

deferred work                    vxlan_sock_add
  ...                              ...
                                   spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                   vs = vxlan_find_sock();
  vxlan_sock_release
    dec vs->refcnt, reaches 0
    spin_lock(&vn->sock_lock)
                                   vxlan_sock_hold(vs), refcnt=1
                                   spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)
    hlist_del_rcu(&vs->hlist);
    vxlan_notify_del_rx_port(vs)
    spin_unlock(&vn->sock_lock)

So when we look for a reusable socket, we check if it wasn't freed
already before reusing it.
