Neigh timer can be scheduled multiple times from userspace adding multiple neigh entries and forcing the neigh timer scheduling passing NTF_USE in the netlink requests. This will result in a refcount leak and in the following dump stack: [ 32.465295] NEIGH: BUG, double timer add, state is 8 [ 32.465308] CPU: 0 PID: 416 Comm: double_timer_ad Not tainted 5.2.0+ #65 [ 32.465311] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.12.0-2.fc30 04/01/2014 [ 32.465313] Call Trace: [ 32.465318] dump_stack+0x7c/0xc0 [ 32.465323] __neigh_event_send+0x20c/0x880 [ 32.465326] ? ___neigh_create+0x846/0xfb0 [ 32.465329] ? neigh_lookup+0x2a9/0x410 [ 32.465332] ? neightbl_fill_info.constprop.0+0x800/0x800 [ 32.465334] neigh_add+0x4f8/0x5e0 [ 32.465337] ? neigh_xmit+0x620/0x620 [ 32.465341] ? find_held_lock+0x85/0xa0 [ 32.465345] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x204/0x570 [ 32.465348] ? rtnl_dellink+0x450/0x450 [ 32.465351] ? mark_held_locks+0x90/0x90 [ 32.465354] ? match_held_lock+0x1b/0x230 [ 32.465357] netlink_rcv_skb+0xc4/0x1d0 [ 32.465360] ? rtnl_dellink+0x450/0x450 [ 32.465363] ? netlink_ack+0x420/0x420 [ 32.465366] ? netlink_deliver_tap+0x115/0x560 [ 32.465369] ? __alloc_skb+0xc9/0x2f0 [ 32.465372] netlink_unicast+0x270/0x330 [ 32.465375] ? netlink_attachskb+0x2f0/0x2f0 [ 32.465378] netlink_sendmsg+0x34f/0x5a0 [ 32.465381] ? netlink_unicast+0x330/0x330 [ 32.465385] ? move_addr_to_kernel.part.0+0x20/0x20 [ 32.465388] ? netlink_unicast+0x330/0x330 [ 32.465391] sock_sendmsg+0x91/0xa0 [ 32.465394] ___sys_sendmsg+0x407/0x480 [ 32.465397] ? copy_msghdr_from_user+0x200/0x200 [ 32.465401] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x37/0x40 [ 32.465404] ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0x17d/0x250 [ 32.465407] ? __wake_up_common_lock+0xcb/0x110 [ 32.465410] ? __wake_up_common+0x230/0x230 [ 32.465413] ? netlink_bind+0x3e1/0x490 [ 32.465416] ? netlink_setsockopt+0x540/0x540 [ 32.465420] ? __fget_light+0x9c/0xf0 [ 32.465423] ? sockfd_lookup_light+0x8c/0xb0 [ 32.465426] __sys_sendmsg+0xa5/0x110 [ 32.465429] ? __ia32_sys_shutdown+0x30/0x30 [ 32.465432] ? __fd_install+0xe1/0x2c0 [ 32.465435] ? lockdep_hardirqs_off+0xb5/0x100 [ 32.465438] ? mark_held_locks+0x24/0x90 [ 32.465441] ? do_syscall_64+0xf/0x270 [ 32.465444] do_syscall_64+0x63/0x270 [ 32.465448] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe Fix the issue unscheduling neigh_timer if selected entry is in 'IN_TIMER' receiving a netlink request with NTF_USE flag set Reported-by: Marek Majkowski <marek@cloudflare.com> Fixes: 0c5c2d308906 ("neigh: Allow for user space users of the neighbour table") Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
