Subject: [dpdk-dev] [Bug 189] RTE Timer Adapter Use After Free
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019 11:27:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-189-3@http.bugs.dpdk.org/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 189
           Summary: RTE Timer Adapter Use After Free
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 19.02
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: eventdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: mattias.ronnblom@ericsson.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Upon event timer expiry, the timer adapter will cause the timer struct to be
used after its freed.

rte_event_timer_adapter.c:sw_event_timer_cb() calls rte_mempool_put(),
returning the internal timer-related data, including a rte_timer instance, to
the pool.

rte_timer_manage() updates fields of the rte_timer struct *after* the expiry
call back has finished.

Timers armed on a different core may retrieve this timer struct from the pool,
resulting in a data race.
