An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.
A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.
These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.
do_syscall_64()
__do_sys_io_uring_enter()
io_submit_sqes()
io_openat_prep()
__io_openat_prep()
getname()
getname_flags() /* update 1 (increment) */
__audit_getname() /* update 2 (increment) */
The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
opportunity for a race. The system call exit performs one decrement.
do_syscall_64()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
__audit_syscall_exit()
audit_reset_context()
putname() /* update 3 (decrement) */
The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
These updates can race with the system call decrement.
io_wqe_worker()
io_worker_handle_work()
io_wq_submit_work()
io_issue_sqe()
io_openat()
io_openat2()
do_filp_open()
path_openat()
__audit_inode() /* update 4 (increment) */
putname() /* update 5 (decrement) */
__audit_uring_exit()
audit_reset_context()
putname() /* update 6 (decrement) */
The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names
from int to atomic_t.
