Since the blamed commit, VCAP filters can appear on more than one list.
If their action is "trap", they are chained on ocelot->traps via
filter->trap_list. This is in addition to their normal placement on the
VCAP block->rules list head.
Therefore, when we free a VCAP filter, we must remove it from all lists
it is a member of, including ocelot->traps.
There are at least 2 bugs which are direct consequences of this design
decision.
First is the incorrect usage of list_empty(), meant to denote whether
"filter" is chained into ocelot->traps via filter->trap_list.
This does not do the correct thing, because list_empty() checks whether
"head->next == head", but in our case, head->next == head->prev == NULL.
So we dereference NULL pointers and die when we call list_del().
Second is the fact that not all places that should remove the filter
from ocelot->traps do so. One example is ocelot_vcap_block_remove_filter(),
which is where we have the main kfree(filter). By keeping freed filters
in ocelot->traps we end up in a use-after-free in
felix_update_trapping_destinations().
Attempting to fix all the buggy patterns is a whack-a-mole game which
makes the driver unmaintainable. Actually this is what the previous
patch version attempted to do:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220503115728.834457-3-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
but it introduced another set of bugs, because there are other places in
which create VCAP filters, not just ocelot_vcap_filter_create():
- ocelot_trap_add()
- felix_tag_8021q_vlan_add_rx()
- felix_tag_8021q_vlan_add_tx()
Relying on the convention that all those code paths must call
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&filter->trap_list) is not going to scale.
So let's do what should have been done in the first place and keep a
bool in struct ocelot_vcap_filter which denotes whether we are looking
at a trapping rule or not. Iterating now happens over the main VCAP IS2
block->rules. The advantage is that we no longer risk having stale
references to a freed filter, since it is only present in that list.
