A race condition exists between lec_atm_close() setting priv->lecd
to NULL and concurrent access to priv->lecd in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge(), and lec_atm_send(). When the socket is freed
via RCU while another thread is still using it, a use-after-free
occurs in sock_def_readable() when accessing the socket's wait queue.
The root cause is that lec_atm_close() clears priv->lecd without
any synchronization, while callers dereference priv->lecd without
any protection against concurrent teardown.
Fix this by converting priv->lecd to an RCU-protected pointer:
- Mark priv->lecd as __rcu in lec.h
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() in lec_atm_close() and lecd_attach()
for safe pointer assignment
- Use rcu_access_pointer() for NULL checks that do not dereference
the pointer in lec_start_xmit(), lec_push(), send_to_lecd() and
lecd_attach()
- Use rcu_read_lock/rcu_dereference/rcu_read_unlock in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge() and lec_atm_send() to safely access lecd
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() followed by synchronize_rcu() in
lec_atm_close() to ensure all readers have completed before
proceeding. This is safe since lec_atm_close() is called from
vcc_release() which holds lock_sock(), a sleeping lock.
- Remove the manual sk_receive_queue drain from lec_atm_close()
since vcc_destroy_socket() already drains it after lec_atm_close()
returns.
v2: Switch from spinlock + sock_hold/put approach to RCU to properly
fix the race. The v1 spinlock approach had two issues pointed out
by Eric Dumazet:
1. priv->lecd was still accessed directly after releasing the
lock instead of using a local copy.
2. The spinlock did not prevent packets being queued after
lec_atm_close() drains sk_receive_queue since timer and
workqueue paths bypass netif_stop_queue().
Note: Syzbot patch testing was attempted but the test VM terminated
unexpectedly with "Connection to localhost closed by remote host",
likely due to a QEMU AHCI emulation issue unrelated to this fix.
Compile testing with "make W=1 net/atm/lec.o" passes cleanly.

Currently, ppp_input_error() indicates an error by allocating a 0-length
skb and calling ppp_do_recv(). It takes an error code argument, which is
stored in skb->cb, but not used by ppp_receive_frame().
Simplify the error handling by removing the unused parameter and the
unnecessary skb allocation. Instead, call ppp_receive_error() directly
from ppp_input_error() under the recv lock, and the length check in
ppp_receive_frame() can be removed.

syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref in lec_arp_clear_vccs().
This issue can be easily reproduced using the syzkaller reproducer.
In the ATM LANE (LAN Emulation) module, the same atm_vcc can be shared by
multiple lec_arp_table entries (e.g., via entry->vcc or entry->recv_vcc).
When the underlying VCC is closed, lec_vcc_close() iterates over all
ARP entries and calls lec_arp_clear_vccs() for each matched entry.
For example, when lec_vcc_close() iterates through the hlists in
priv->lec_arp_empty_ones or other ARP tables:
1. In the first iteration, for the first matched ARP entry sharing the VCC,
lec_arp_clear_vccs() frees the associated vpriv (which is vcc->user_back)
and sets vcc->user_back to NULL.
2. In the second iteration, for the next matched ARP entry sharing the same
VCC, lec_arp_clear_vccs() is called again. It obtains a NULL vpriv from
vcc->user_back (via LEC_VCC_PRIV(vcc)) and then attempts to dereference it
via `vcc->pop = vpriv->old_pop`, leading to a null-ptr-deref crash.
Fix this by adding a null check for vpriv before dereferencing
it. If vpriv is already NULL, it means the VCC has been cleared
by a previous call, so we can safely skip the cleanup and just
clear the entry's vcc/recv_vcc pointers.
The entire cleanup block (including vcc_release_async()) is placed inside
the vpriv guard because a NULL vpriv indicates the VCC has already been
fully released by a prior iteration — repeating the teardown would
redundantly set flags and trigger callbacks on an already-closing socket.
The Fixes tag points to the initial commit because the entry->vcc path has
been vulnerable since the original code. The entry->recv_vcc path was later
added by commit 8d9f73c0ad ("atm: fix a memory leak of vcc->user_back")
with the same pattern, and both paths are fixed here.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Reproducer available at [1].
The ATM send path (sendmsg -> vcc_sendmsg -> sigd_send) reads the vcc
pointer from msg->vcc and uses it directly without any validation. This
pointer comes from userspace via sendmsg() and can be arbitrarily forged:
int fd = socket(AF_ATMSVC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
ioctl(fd, ATMSIGD_CTRL); // become ATM signaling daemon
struct msghdr msg = { .msg_iov = &iov, ... };
*(unsigned long *)(buf + 4) = 0xdeadbeef; // fake vcc pointer
sendmsg(fd, &msg, 0); // kernel dereferences 0xdeadbeef
In normal operation, the kernel sends the vcc pointer to the signaling
daemon via sigd_enq() when processing operations like connect(), bind(),
or listen(). The daemon is expected to return the same pointer when
responding. However, a malicious daemon can send arbitrary pointer values.
Fix this by introducing find_get_vcc() which validates the pointer by
searching through vcc_hash (similar to how sigd_close() iterates over
all VCCs), and acquires a reference via sock_hold() if found.
Since struct atm_vcc embeds struct sock as its first member, they share
the same lifetime. Therefore using sock_hold/sock_put is sufficient to
keep the vcc alive while it is being used.
Note that there may be a race with sigd_close() which could mark the vcc
with various flags (e.g., ATM_VF_RELEASED) after find_get_vcc() returns.
However, sock_hold() guarantees the memory remains valid, so this race
only affects the logical state, not memory safety.

In atm_init(), if atmsvc_init() fails, the code jumps to out_atmpvc_exit
label which incorrectly calls atmsvc_exit() instead of atmpvc_exit().
This results in calling the wrong cleanup function and failing to properly
clean up atmpvc_init().
Fix this by calling atmpvc_exit() in the out_atmpvc_exit error path.

ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) allocates struct clip_vcc and set it to
vcc->user_back.
The code assumes that vcc_destroy_socket() passes NULL skb
to vcc->push() when the socket is close()d, and then clip_push()
frees clip_vcc.
However, ioctl(ATMARPD_CTRL) sets NULL to vcc->push() in
atm_init_atmarp(), resulting in memory leak.
Let's serialise two ioctl() by lock_sock() and check vcc->push()
in atm_init_atmarp() to prevent memleak.

atmarpd is protected by RTNL since commit f3a0592b37 ("[ATM]: clip

However, it is not enough because to_atmarpd() is called without RTNL,
especially clip_neigh_solicit() / neigh_ops->solicit() is unsleepable.
Also, there is no RTNL dependency around atmarpd.
Let's use a private mutex and RCU to protect access to atmarpd in
to_atmarpd().
