Enzo Matsumiya 906807c734 smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod
commit e9f2517a3e18a54a3943c098d2226b245d488801 upstream.

Commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client: Fix use-after-free of network namespace.")
fixed a netns UAF by manually enabled socket refcounting
(sk->sk_net_refcnt=1 and sock_inuse_add(net, 1)).

The reason the patch worked for that bug was because we now hold
references to the netns (get_net_track() gets a ref internally)
and they're properly released (internally, on __sk_destruct()),
but only because sk->sk_net_refcnt was set.

Problem:
(this happens regardless of CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and regardless
if init_net or other)

Setting sk->sk_net_refcnt=1 *manually* and *after* socket creation is not
only out of cifs scope, but also technically wrong -- it's set conditionally
based on user (=1) vs kernel (=0) sockets.  And net/ implementations
seem to base their user vs kernel space operations on it.

e.g. upon TCP socket close, the TCP timers are not cleared because
sk->sk_net_refcnt=1:
(cf. commit 151c9c724d05 ("tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets"))

net/ipv4/tcp.c:
    void tcp_close(struct sock *sk, long timeout)
    {
    	lock_sock(sk);
    	__tcp_close(sk, timeout);
    	release_sock(sk);
    	if (!sk->sk_net_refcnt)
    		inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync(sk);
    	sock_put(sk);
    }

Which will throw a lockdep warning and then, as expected, deadlock on
tcp_write_timer().

A way to reproduce this is by running the reproducer from ef7134c7fc48
and then 'rmmod cifs'.  A few seconds later, the deadlock/lockdep
warning shows up.

Fix:
We shouldn't mess with socket internals ourselves, so do not set
sk_net_refcnt manually.

Also change __sock_create() to sock_create_kern() for explicitness.

As for non-init_net network namespaces, we deal with it the best way
we can -- hold an extra netns reference for server->ssocket and drop it
when it's released.  This ensures that the netns still exists whenever
we need to create/destroy server->ssocket, but is not directly tied to
it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
