Given ref. [3] by you leads to a bug about UAF in __post_watch_notification(): https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=03d7b43290037d1f87ca That bug is fixed by the following commit by David Howells on 28th July: e64ab2dbd882 ("watch_queue: Fix missing locking in add_watch_to_object()") https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e64ab2dbd882933b65cd82ff6235d705ad65dbb6 Given ref. [2] by you is of a patch tested by you, which can be found below: https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/c/RbmAFTAIuyY/m/-vMjf-BXAQAJ This had overlooked the existing serialization of wqueue->defunct, which you had yourself pointed out in the reply to v2, which can be found below: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel-mentees/20220724071958.2557-1-hdanton@xxxxxxxx/ Given ref. [1] by you is about a syzbot test which was ran today, which no longer triggers the issue. This probably happens due to the commit by David Howells referenced earlier by me. While it does cause the reproducer to fail, it doesn't really fix the particular issue concerned by this patch, which is that the watch_queue has a reference to a freed pipe, which had caused a UAF. Hope everything is clear. Thanks, Siddh
