From: Greg Hackmann ghackmann@google.com
commit 0dcd7876029b58770f769cbb7b484e88e4a305e5 upstream.
f7c83bcbfaf5 ("net: xfrm: use __this_cpu_read per-cpu helper") added a __this_cpu_read() call inside ipcomp_alloc_tfms().
At the time, __this_cpu_read() required the caller to either not care about races or to handle preemption/interrupt issues. 3.15 tightened the rules around some per-cpu operations, and now __this_cpu_read() should never be used in a preemptible context. On 3.15 and later, we need to use this_cpu_read() instead.
syzkaller reported this leading to the following kernel BUG while fuzzing sendmsg:
