Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: synchronize heartbeat callbacks with o2net teardown
Patch series "ocfs2: harden heartbeat teardown races".
This series fixes two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by
KASAN.
This patch (of 2):
Heartbeat callbacks stay registered while configfs local-node teardown
enters o2net_stop_listening(). A node-down event can still run through
o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state() while teardown is
destroying o2net_wq, so the later queue/flush operations can hit a dead
workqueue. KASAN has caught this as a slab-use-after-free in
__queue_work() with the call chain:

Keep heartbeat callbacks registered so quorum state still tracks node
state, but stop them from driving o2net reconnect/disconnect work once
local teardown starts. Mark the transport offline before destroying
o2net_wq, wait for any in-flight heartbeat callback to finish, and delay
bring-up replay until the new local node is published through
o2nm_this_node().
The replay also has to stay serialized with heartbeat callback delivery.
Otherwise a live-node snapshot can be copied, a real hb_down callback
can install -ENOTCONN for a peer, and the stale replay can call
o2net_hb_node_up() for that same peer and queue reconnect work even
though heartbeat is already down.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
local-node teardown: heartbeat node-down callback:
1. configfs local-off enters 1. o2hb_run_event_list() invokes
o2net_stop_listening(). o2net_hb_node_down_cb().
2. teardown heads for 2. the callback reaches
destroy_workqueue(o2net_wq). o2net_disconnect_node() and
o2net_set_nn_state().
3. teardown destroys and NULLs 3. the callback flushes or queues
o2net_wq. work through o2net_wq.
