When making a DNS query inside the kernel using dns_query(), the request
code can in rare cases end up creating a duplicate index key in the
assoc_array of the destination keyring. It is eventually found by
a BUG_ON() check in the assoc_array implementation and results in
a crash.

The situation occurs as follows:
* Some kernel facility invokes dns_query() to resolve a hostname, for
example, "abcdef". The function registers its global DNS resolver
cache as current->cred.thread_keyring and passes the query to
request_key_net() -> request_key_tag() -> request_key_and_link().
* Function request_key_and_link() creates a keyring_search_context
object. Its match_data.cmp method gets set via a call to
type->match_preparse() (resolves to dns_resolver_match_preparse()) to
dns_resolver_cmp().
* Function request_key_and_link() continues and invokes
search_process_keyrings_rcu() which returns that a given key was not
found. The control is then passed to request_key_and_link() ->
construct_alloc_key().
* Concurrently to that, a second task similarly makes a DNS query for
"abcdef." and its result gets inserted into the DNS resolver cache.
* Back on the first task, function construct_alloc_key() first runs
__key_link_begin() to determine an assoc_array_edit operation to
insert a new key. Index keys in the array are compared exactly as-is,
using keyring_compare_object(). The operation finds that "abcdef" is
not yet present in the destination keyring.
* Function construct_alloc_key() continues and checks if a given key is
already present on some keyring by again calling
search_process_keyrings_rcu(). This search is done using
dns_resolver_cmp() and "abcdef" gets matched with now present key
"abcdef.".
* The found key is linked on the destination keyring by calling
__key_link() and using the previously calculated assoc_array_edit
operation. This inserts the "abcdef." key in the array but creates
a duplicity because the same index key is already present.
Fix the problem by postponing __key_link_begin() in
construct_alloc_key() until an actual key which should be linked into
the destination keyring is determined.

Hi, I pressed send too early in my respose. I was going to say that
I'm picking.
I did recently from mutt to aerc, and sometimes get really confused
what is going on :-)

OK, now it is applied:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/commit/?id=8ea234bb14b53f3bf1ce63dd669d4acbc519ab6d

Good catch, but I think it's probably the wrong solution.
keyring_compare_object() needs to use the ->cmp() function from the key type.
It's not just request_key() that might have a problem, but also key_link().
There are also asymmetric keys which match against multiple criteria - though
I'm fine with just matching the main description there (the important bit
being to maintain the integrity of the tree inside assoc_array).
I wonder, should I scrap the assoc_array approach and go to each keyring being
a linked-list? It's slower, but a lot easier to manage - and more forgiving
of problems.
struct key_ptr {
struct list_head link;
struct key *key;
unsigned long key_hash;
};
I'm also wondering if I should remove the key type from the matching criteria
- i.e. there can only be one key with any particular description in a ring at
once, regardless of type. Unfortunately, this is may be a UAPI breaker
somewhere.
Any thoughts?

If the amount of items stays at most in hundreds (or actually even like
few thousand items), there's very little gain of having the complexity
of associative array. In most cases it probably shoots back in many
ways.
I've been thinking this for a long time but have thought that since it
has been there, there must be good reasons to have it.
So yeah, definitely +1 for scraping assoc array.

The way I view the current design is that it kind of consists of two
layers. Lower-level functions key_create(), key_link(), key_move(), etc.
are built directly on top of assoc_array, use the exact comparison and
benefit from the assoc_array speed.
Higher-level function request_key() then provides a callout
functionality and offers an option to do approximate search if a needed
key is already present. This gives a trade-off to potentially reduce
a number of callouts but on the other hand requires a linear search over
the underlying keyrings/assoc_arrays.
The patch tries to only provide a point fix where the request-key logic
in construct_alloc_key() wrongly interacted with the approximate
matching option. If my understanding of the current design is correct
then I think key_link() shouldn't require any change in this regard.
Just wanted to add this point, I can't really comment on whether the
whole thing should be designed differently in the first place.
Thanks,
