CVE-2022-50174 — net: hinic: avoid kernel hung in hinic_get_stats64()

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hinic: avoid kernel hung in hinic_get_stats64()

When using hinic device as a bond slave device, and reading device stats of master bond device, the kernel may hung.

The kernel panic calltrace as follows: Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks Call trace: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x1ec/0x31c dev_get_stats+0x60/0xcc dev_seq_printf_stats+0x40/0x120 dev_seq_show+0x1c/0x40 seq_read_iter+0x3c8/0x4dc seq_read+0xe0/0x130 proc_reg_read+0xa8/0xe0 vfs_read+0xb0/0x1d4 ksys_read+0x70/0xfc __arm64_sys_read+0x20/0x30 el0_svc_common+0x88/0x234 do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x90 el0_svc+0x1c/0x30 el0_sync_handler+0xa8/0xb0 el0_sync+0x148/0x180

And the calltrace of task that actually caused kernel hungs as follows: __switch_to+124 __schedule+548 schedule+72 schedule_timeout+348 __down_common+188 __down+24 down+104 hinic_get_stats64+44 [hinic] dev_get_stats+92 bond_get_stats+172 [bonding] dev_get_stats+92 dev_seq_printf_stats+60 dev_seq_show+24 seq_read_iter+964 seq_read+220 proc_reg_read+164 vfs_read+172 ksys_read+108 __arm64_sys_read+28 el0_svc_common+132 do_el0_svc+40 el0_svc+24 el0_sync_handler+164 el0_sync+324

When getting device stats from bond, kernel will call bond_get_stats(). It first holds the spinlock bond->stats_lock, and then call hinic_get_stats64() to collect hinic device's stats. However, hinic_get_stats64() calls `do…
