[PATCH v2] net: neighbor: fix a crash caused by mod zero

From: weichenchen
Date: Mon Dec 21 2020 - 08:09:27 EST


pneigh_enqueue() tries to obtain a random delay by mod
NEIGH_VAR(p, PROXY_DELAY). However, NEIGH_VAR(p, PROXY_DELAY)
migth be zero at that point because someone could write zero
to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/[device]/proxy_delay after the
callers check it.

This patch double-checks NEIGH_VAR(p, PROXY_DELAY) in
pneigh_enqueue() to ensure not to take zero as modulus.

V2:
- Use READ_ONCE() to prevent the complier from re-reading
NEIGH_VAR(p, PROXY_DELAY).
- Give a hint to the complier that delay <= 0 is unlikely
to happen.

Note: I don't think having the caller pass in the value is a
good idea mainly because delay should be only decided by
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/[device]/proxy_delay rather than the
caller.
