Re: [PATCH] workqueue: Fix double kfree(rescuer) in destroy_workqueue()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry I didn't describe clearly

I describe the meaning as follows:

	destroy_workqueue
		if(wq->rescuer)
			struct worker *rescuer = wq->rescuer
			kfree(rescuer)
		..................
                if (!(wq->flags & WQ_UNBOUND))
			call_rcu(&wq->rcu, rcu_free_wq)
			......................
			rcu_free_wq
				kfree(wq->rescuer)

there are double free.

When destroy_workqueue if rescuer worker exist,wq->rescuer pointer be
kfree. if sanity checks passed. the func call_rcu(&wq->rcu, rcu_free_wq)
will be called if the wq->flags & WQ_UNBOUND is false,in rcu_free_wq
func wq->rescuer pointer was kfree again.

1. I suggest to improve also this change description.
    Do you try to explain here that a call of the function “free_workqueue_attrs”
    (or “free_percpu”) would perform sufficient clean-up of system resources
    in this use case?

2. You proposed to delete the function call “kfree(wq->rescuer)” from
    the implementation of the function “rcu_free_wq”.
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/kernel/workqueue.c?id=c11d28ab4a691736e30b49813fb801847bd44e83#n3482
    https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc6/source/kernel/workqueue.c#L3482

    This function name should be specified also in the patch subject,
    shouldn't it?

3. Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?

Regards,
Markus
