The kauditd_thread + thread is always running so it can service the record queues and + emit the multicast messages, if it happens to be just past the + "main_queue" label, but before the "if (sk == NULL || ...)" + if-statement which calls auditd_reset() when the new auditd + connection is registered it could end up resetting the auditd + connection, regardless of if it is valid or not. This is a rather + small window and the variable nature of multi-core scheduling + explains why this is proving rather difficult to reproduce." + +The fix is to have functions only call auditd_reset() when they +believe that the kernel/auditd connection is still valid, e.g. +non-NULL, and to have these callers pass their local copy of the +auditd_connection pointer to auditd_reset() where it can be compared +with the current connection state before resetting. If the caller +has a stale state tracking pointer then the reset is ignored. + +We also make a small change to kauditd_thread() so that if the +kernel/auditd connection is dead we skip the retry queue and send the +records straight to the hold queue. This is necessary as we used to +rely on auditd_reset() to occasionally purge the retry queue but we +are going to be calling the reset function much less now and we want +to make sure the retry queue doesn't grow unbounded. + +Reported-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com> +Reported-by: Dusty Mabe <dustymabe@redhat.com> +Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com> +Reviewed-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> +--- + kernel/audit.c | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------- + 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) + + +-- +Linux-audit mailing list +Linux-audit@redhat.com +https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit + +diff --git a/kernel/audit.c b/kernel/audit.c +index b2e877100242..e1e2b3abfb93 100644 +--- a/kernel/audit.c ++++ b/kernel/audit.c +@@ -575,12 +575,16 @@ static void kauditd_retry_skb(struct sk_buff *skb) + + /** + * auditd_reset - Disconnect the auditd connection ++ * @ac: auditd connection state + * + * Description: + * Break the auditd/kauditd connection and move all the queued records into the +- * hold queue in case auditd reconnects. ++ * hold queue in case auditd reconnects.
