Are both crashes with the same reproducer?
It races setsockopt PACKET_RX_RING with PACKET_VNET_HDR.
There have been previous bug fixes for other setsockopts racing with
ring creation. The change would be
@@ -3763,14 +3763,19 @@ packet_setsockopt(struct socket *sock, int
level, int optname, char __user *optv
if (sock->type != SOCK_RAW)
return -EINVAL;
- if (po->rx_ring.pg_vec || po->tx_ring.pg_vec)
- return -EBUSY;
if (optlen < sizeof(val))
return -EINVAL;
if (copy_from_user(&val, optval, sizeof(val)))
return -EFAULT;
- po->has_vnet_hdr = !!val;
+ lock_sock(sk);
+ if (po->rx_ring.pg_vec || po->tx_ring.pg_vec) {
+ ret = -EBUSY;
+ } else {
+ po->has_vnet_hdr = !!val;
+ ret = 0;
+ }
+ release_sock(sk);
return 0;
}
But I do not immediately see why these concurrent operations
would be unsafe.
The program races a lot more complex operations, like bind and
close. So the specific setsockopt may be a red herring.
I'm traveling; haven't been able to setup your fuzzer and run the
repro locally yet.

>>> = About RaceFuzzer
>>>
>>> RaceFuzzer is a customized version of Syzkaller, specifically tailored
>>> to find race condition bugs in the Linux kernel. While we leverage
>>> many different technique, the notable feature of RaceFuzzer is in
>>> leveraging a custom hypervisor (QEMU/KVM) to interleave the
>>> scheduling. In particular, we modified the hypervisor to intentionally
>>> stall a per-core execution, which is similar to supporting per-core
>>> breakpoint functionality. This allows RaceFuzzer to force the kernel
>>> to deterministically trigger racy condition (which may rarely happen
>>> in practice due to randomness in scheduling).
>>>
>>> RaceFuzzer's C repro always pinpoints two racy syscalls. Since C
>>> repro's scheduling synchronization should be performed at the user
>>> space, its reproducibility is limited (reproduction may take from 1
>>> second to 10 minutes (or even more), depending on a bug). This is
>>> because, while RaceFuzzer precisely interleaves the scheduling at the
>>> kernel's instruction level when finding this bug, C repro cannot fully
>>> utilize such a feature. Please disregard all code related to
>>> "should_hypercall" in the C repro, as this is only for our debugging
>>> purposes using our own hypervisor.
