Bug Description

== SRU Justification ==
The following commit introduced a regression identified in bug 1734327:
ac8f82a0b6d9 ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: LSM stacking: LSM: Infrastructure management of the remaining blobs")

The regression causes a kernel panic to occur after multiple TCP connection
creations/closures to the localhost. The bug was found using STAF RPC calls,
but is easily reproducible with SSH.

A revert of commit ac8f82a0b6d9 is needed to resolve this bug. However, commit 4ae2508f0bed
also needs to be reverted because it depend on commit ac8f82a0b6d9.

== Fix ==
Revert 4ae2508f0bed ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: LSM stacking: add stacking support to apparmor network hooks")
Revert ac8f82a0b6d9 ("UBUNTU: SAUCE: LSM stacking: LSM: Infrastructure management of the remaining blobs")

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with these two commits reverted and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.

== Original Bug Description ==
Summary:
Kernel panic occurs after multiple TCP connection creations/closures to the localhost.
The bug was found using STAF RPC calls, but is easily reproducible with SSH.
The bug doesn't appear on an identical virtual machine booting from the disk.
The bug is not reproducible on a similarly-prepared Ubuntu 16.04 machine.
The bug is reproducible using an older 4.13.0-16-generic kernel
Reproducible on multiple hardware types.
Unable to create a kernel memory dump due to makedumpfile errors.
apport-bug save attached.

NFSRoot boot options:
vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=nfs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=190.0.0.254:/diskless/host/u1616/Ubuntu/17.10 intel_iommu=on net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 apparmor=0 ip=:::::eth0:dhcp blacklist=i40e,ixgbe,fm10k crashkernel=384M-:768M rw

Software:
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Kernel: 4.13.0-17-generic x86_64

Reproduction steps:
1. Boot a system from a nfsroot
2. Configure password-less localhost ssh access
3. Run a loop: `while true; do ssh localhost 'uname -a'; done`
4. Wait for system to crash

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.14 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

I'd like to perform a reverse bisect to figure out which commit upstream fixes this regression. It would be very helpful to know the last kernel that had this issue and the first kernel that did not.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for the earliest kernel version that does not have this bug:

I wonder if this bug could be caused by a SAUCE patch, which is why it doesn't happen with the upstream kernels.

Can you see if this bug happens in either the Zesty kernel or Artful -proposed

Artful -proposed: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/13757328

Thanks for testing, Sergey. That further indicates that the regression is due to a SAUCE patch. We can perform a bisect to identify the exact commit. We need to narrow down the kernel version that introduced the bug further. Can you next test the following two kernels:

No plan to land upstream yet. Casey's upstream proposal
( http://kernsec.org/pipermail/linux-security-module-archive/2017-December/004728.html ) is stalling.
Please carry my patch as UBUNTU: SAUCE: patch.

Since 18.04 seems to give up LSM stacking patchset, safest choice (if
acceptable) would be to completely revert LSM stacking patchset for
17.10 as well.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
