Bug ID: 20975
Summary: Deferred cancellation triggers in __check_pf and
looses lock leading to deadlock.
Product: glibc
Version: 2.25
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c
The following path can cause deferred cancellation to trigger:
__check_pf -> make_request -> __sendto / __recvmsg.
296 void
297 attribute_hidden
298 __check_pf (bool *seen_ipv4, bool *seen_ipv6,
299 struct in6addrinfo **in6ai, size_t *in6ailen)
300 {
301 *in6ai = NULL;
302 *in6ailen = 0;
303
304 struct cached_data *olddata = NULL;
305 struct cached_data *data = NULL;
306
307 __libc_lock_lock (lock);
Once cancellation happens for one thread, the above lock is locked, and
deadlocks any other calls to __check_pf.
We need to push a cancellation cleanup handler to unlock the lock.
