When operating on struct vhost_net_ubuf_ref, the following execution
sequence is theoretically possible:
CPU0 is finalizing DMA operation CPU1 is doing VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND
// ubufs->refcount == 2
vhost_net_ubuf_put() vhost_net_ubuf_put_wait_and_free(oldubufs)
vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait()
vhost_net_ubuf_put()
int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount);
// r = 1
int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount);
// r = 0
wait_event(ubufs->wait, !atomic_read(&ubufs->refcount));
// no wait occurs here because condition is already true
kfree(ubufs);
if (unlikely(!r))
wake_up(&ubufs->wait); // use-after-free
This leads to use-after-free on ubufs access. This happens because CPU1
skips waiting for wake_up() when refcount is already zero.
To prevent that use a read-side RCU critical section in vhost_net_ubuf_put(),
as suggested by Hillf Danton. For this lock to take effect, free ubufs with
kfree_rcu().

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 reStructuredText 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.
