Title
sunrpc: xprtsock: annotate shared socket callbacks with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: xprtsock: annotate shared socket callbacks with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE xprtsock replaces and restores sk->sk_data_ready and sk->sk_write_space on live sockets with plain stores, and xs_udp_do_set_buffer_size() invokes sk->sk_write_space via a plain load. These callback pointers are shared with generic socket and protocol paths that may read or invoke them concurrently, so xprtsock needs the same READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() callback visibility contract that the validated 4022 family applied elsewhere. When SUNRPC takes over an AF_LOCAL, UDP, or TCP socket and later restores the lower-socket callbacks during teardown, another CPU may still hold an earlier callback snapshot. The plain replace/restore pattern leaves the same visibility hole as the validated 4022 family, so a stale snapshot can still invoke xs_data_ready() or xs_udp_write_space() after the live callback fields have already been restored to the lower-socket handlers. Use WRITE_ONCE() for the shared sk_data_ready and sk_write_space stores in xs_local_finish_connecting(), xs_udp_finish_connecting(), xs_tcp_finish_connecting(), and xs_restore_old_callbacks(). Use READ_ONCE() for the direct sk_write_space invocation in xs_udp_do_set_buffer_size(). This matches the required callback visibility contract while leaving adjacent sk_state_change and sk_error_report handling unchanged.

NFS client RPC-over-TCP/UDP replies use the same xprtsock callbacks.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides: SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM then a later SETCLIENTID or TCP RST forces xs_tcp_finish_connecting versus xs_restore_old_callbacks (nfsd4_process_cb_update \u2192 rpc_shutdown_client \u2192 xs_reset_transport), while concurrent callback replies and TX skb frees take sock_wfree\u0027s lockless sk_write_space snapshot. The race is retryable on new callback sockets.\nPR:N - SETCLIENTID and SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM are ALLOWED_WITHOUT_FH. Typical nfsd deployments accept AUTH_SYS/AUTH_NULL, so a remote peer that can reach TCP/2049 needs no local account or capability on the NFS server to create and tear down the callback xprtsock.\nUI:N - The attacker sends SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM and the callback-channel TCP segments itself. No victim mount or other interactive action is required beyond nfsd already serving NFSv4.0.\nS:U - Stale xs_data_ready or xs_udp_write_space running against a torn-down sock_xprt corrupts kernel memory on the host that owns the RPC socket. This is not a guest-to-host, IOMMU, or other cross-authority escape.\nC:H - A stale xs_data_ready after xs_restore_old_callbacks can still see a non-NULL sk_user_data via xprt_from_sock and call transport-\u003eold_data_ready plus read sock_xprt fields, leaking kernel heap once that xprt is reused or freed.\nI:H - The same callback/user_data desync lets xs_write_space queue_work on a freed recv_worker/error_worker and decrement sk_write_pending while xs_reset_transport is in __fput_sync, giving an arbitrary kernel write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Use-after-free of sock_xprt in xs_data_ready, xs_udp_write_space, or xs_tcp_write_space from sock_wfree or tcp_data_queue after xs_restore_old_callbacks oopses or panics the kernel even without a full write primitive."

These callback pointers are shared with generic socket and\nprotocol paths that may read or invoke them concurrently, so xprtsock\nneeds the same READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() callback visibility contract\nthat the validated 4022 family applied elsewhere.\n\nWhen SUNRPC takes over an AF_LOCAL, UDP, or TCP socket and later\nrestores the lower-socket callbacks during teardown, another CPU may\nstill hold an earlier callback snapshot. The plain replace/restore\npattern leaves the same visibility hole as the validated 4022 family,\nso a stale snapshot can still invoke xs_data_ready() or\nxs_udp_write_space() after the live callback fields have already been\nrestored to the lower-socket handlers.\n\nUse WRITE_ONCE() for the shared sk_data_ready and sk_write_space\nstores in xs_local_finish_connecting(), xs_udp_finish_connecting(),\nxs_tcp_finish_connecting(), and xs_restore_old_callbacks(). Use\nREAD_ONCE() for the direct sk_write_space invocation in\nxs_udp_do_set_buffer_size(). This matches the required callback\nvisibility contract while leaving adjacent sk_state_change and\nsk_error_report handling unchanged."
