Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred: ==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in virtqueue_disable_cb / virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed write to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by task 3288 on cpu 0: virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed+0x42/0x3c0 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2653 start_xmit+0x230/0x1310 drivers/net/virtio_net.c:3264 __netdev_start_xmit include/linux/netdevice.h:5151 [inline] netdev_start_xmit include/linux/netdevice.h:5160 [inline] xmit_one net/core/dev.c:3800 [inline] read to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by interrupt on cpu 1: virtqueue_disable_cb_split drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:880 [inline] virtqueue_disable_cb+0x92/0x180 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2566 skb_xmit_done+0x5f/0x140 drivers/net/virtio_net.c:777 vring_interrupt+0x161/0x190 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2715 __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x95/0x490 kernel/irq/handle.c:158 handle_irq_event_percpu kernel/irq/handle.c:193 [inline] value changed: 0x01 -> 0x00
================================================================== When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used. Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.
