Please let us know what you think. Thanks! One straightforward fix might be to use cmpxchg(&cgrp_dfl_visible, false, true) in cgroup_get_tree() and READ_ONCE(cgrp_dfl_visible) in proc_cgroup_show() or sm like that. I'm not sure this is an issue though but might still be nice to fix it. > > *-----------------------------Report--------------------------------------* > *write* to 0xffffffff881d0344 of 1 bytes by task 6542 on cpu 0: > cgroup_get_tree+0x30/0x1c0 kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:2153 > vfs_get_tree+0x53/0x1b0 fs/super.c:1497 > do_new_mount+0x208/0x6a0 fs/namespace.c:3040 > path_mount+0x4a0/0xbd0 fs/namespace.c:3370 > do_mount fs/namespace.c:3383 [inline] > __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3591 [inline] > __se_sys_mount+0x215/0x2d0 fs/namespace.c:3568 > __x64_sys_mount+0x67/0x80 fs/namespace.c:3568 > do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] > do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 > entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae > > *read* to 0xffffffff881d0344 of 1 bytes by task 6541 on cpu 1: > proc_cgroup_show+0x1ec/0x4e0 kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:6017 > proc_single_show+0x96/0x120 fs/proc/base.c:777 > seq_read_iter+0x2d2/0x8e0 fs/seq_file.c:230 > seq_read+0x1c9/0x210 fs/seq_file.c:162 > vfs_read+0x1b5/0x6e0 fs/read_write.c:480 > ksys_read+0xde/0x190 fs/read_write.c:620 > __do_sys_read fs/read_write.c:630 [inline] > __se_sys_read fs/read_write.c:628 [inline] > __x64_sys_read+0x43/0x50 fs/read_write.c:628 > do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] > do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 > entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae > > Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: > CPU: 1 PID: 6541 Comm: syz-executor2-n Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5+ #107 > Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 > 04/01/2014 > > > *Reproducing Inputs* > Input CPU 0: > r0 = fsopen(&(0x7f0000000000)='cgroup2\x00', 0x0) > fsconfig$FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE(r0, 0x6, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0) > fsmount(r0, 0x0, 0x83) > > Input CPU 1: > r0 = syz_open_procfs(0x0, &(0x7f0000000040)='cgroup\x00') > read$eventfd(r0, &(0x7f0000000080), 0x8)
