PAX: size overflow detected in function tbf_enqueue net/sched/sch_tbf.c:191

Postby craftyguy » Mon Jan 09, 2017 7:46 pm

Running patch 3.1-4.8.17-201701090823 (linux-grsec kernel in Arch Linux), I see this panic when setting up a tc qdisc and send traffic through the interface. It looks like it might be related to this issue, though possible a different instantiation of it since the patch mentioned in this post is still in the latest patch I have used: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4438

Re: PAX: size overflow detected in function tbf_enqueue net/sched/sch_tbf.c:191

are you compiling with gcc-6 by any chance? it seems that the forwprop pass got smarter and it undoes the source change now so we're back at the original problem unfortunately... not sure what we can do about it but till then you can disable the PAX_SIZE_OVERFLOW_EXTRA option.

It's gcc 6.2.1.

after having looked at the options we decided to disable instrumentation for qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog altogether in the next patch (i.e., its second parameter will no longer be tracked and instrumented).

I am currently booting with "pax_size_overflow_report_only" set to work around the kernel panic (yes, probably a heavy hammer), with the next patch I should be able to remove that option from the cmdline and not experience the panic when using tc qdisc?

yes, that's the idea though note that similar code constructs may exist elsewhere and can trigger a size overflow report, we'll see.
