From 97c6327f7192d7312eabc033b26a41ad6816496c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2020 15:59:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fscrypt: use smp_load_acquire() for fscrypt_prepared_key Normally smp_store_release() or cmpxchg_release() is paired with smp_load_acquire(). Sometimes smp_load_acquire() can be replaced with the more lightweight READ_ONCE(). However, for this to be safe, all the published memory must only be accessed in a way that involves the pointer itself. This may not be the case if allocating the object also involves initializing a static or global variable, for example. fscrypt_prepared_key includes a pointer to a crypto_skcipher object, which is internal to and is allocated by the crypto subsystem. By using READ_ONCE() for it, we're relying on internal implementation details of the crypto subsystem. Remove this fragile assumption by using smp_load_acquire() instead. (Note: I haven't seen any real-world problems here. This change is just fixing the code to be guaranteed correct and less fragile.)
