If get_unused_fd_flags() fails, we ended up calling fput(sock->file)
twice.

IMHO, the better way to fix it is to change handshake_nl_accept_doit()
do not call to fput(sock->file) in error case. It is not right thing
to have a call to handshake_dup() and rely on elevated get_file()
for failure too as it will be problematic for future extension of
handshake_dup().

Thanks

I agree with the above: I think a failing helper should leave the
larger scope status unmodified. In this case a failing handshake_dup()
should not touch file refcount, and handshake_nl_accept_doit() should
be modified accordingly, something alike:

---
diff --git a/net/handshake/netlink.c b/net/handshake/netlink.c

 out_status:

 	return err;
---

Somewhat related: handshake_nl_done_doit() releases the file refcount
even if the req lookup fails. If that is caused by a concurrent
req_cancel - not sure if possible at all, possibly syzkaller could
guess if instructed about the API - such refcount will underflow, as it
is rightfully decremented by req_cancel, too.

I think it should be safer adding a chunk like:

---
diff --git a/net/handshake/netlink.c b/net/handshake/netlink.c
index e865fcf68433..3e3e849f302a 100644

 		err = -EBUSY;
-		fput(sock->file);
 		goto out_status;
 	}
---

Possibly explicitly documenting the used ownership rules for the file
refcount in the relevant functions could help with future maintenance.

Finally it's not clear to me if we agreed to a target tree or not ;) I
see no replies so my suggestion.

Thanks!

I'm happy to accommodate these changes, but it's not clear to me
whether you want this hunk applied /in addition to/ my fix or
/instead of/.

That's because sockfd_lookup() increments the file ref count.

More likely, req_cancel might take the file ref count to zero
before sockfd_lookup can increment it, resulting in a UAF?

Let me think about this.

Since we expect other subsystems to use net/handshake besides
SunRPC, I agree to going with netdev, even for this series once
it is acceptable.

It's above (completely untested!) chunk is intended to be a replace for
patch 2/6

Ooops, I missed that.

Then in the successful path handshake_nl_done_doit() should call
fput() twice ?!? 1 for the reference acquired by sockfd_lookup() and 1
for the reference owned by  'req' ?!? Otherwise a ref will be leaked.

I now think this race is not possible, but I now fear the refcount leak
mentioned above.

Not sure why I haven't seen evidence of a leak here. I'll have a closer look.

I added provisional trace points to report the value of f_count
before the fput() in done_doit and also where the RPC client
destroys the socket. The latter reports f_count is 1, as I would
expect, just before the final __fput_sync().
