This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fcntl: fix potential deadlocks for &fown_struct.lock to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fcntl-fix-potential-deadlocks-for-fown_struct.lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit eba8d8a05973ae91ae47204eef6168c101eddb80 Author: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 2 17:18:30 2021 +0800 fcntl: fix potential deadlocks for &fown_struct.lock [ Upstream commit f671a691e299f58835d4660d642582bf0e8f6fda ] Syzbot reports a potential deadlock in do_fcntl: ======================================================== WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected 5.12.0-syzkaller #0 Not tainted -------------------------------------------------------- syz-executor132/8391 just changed the state of lock: ffff888015967bf8 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: f_getown_ex fs/fcntl.c:211 [inline] ffff888015967bf8 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: do_fcntl+0x8b4/0x1200 fs/fcntl.c:395 but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past: (&dev->event_lock){-...}-{2:2} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: &dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&f->f_owner.lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&dev->event_lock); lock(&new->fa_lock); <Interrupt> lock(&dev->event_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** This happens because there is a lock hierarchy of &dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock from the following call chain: input_inject_event(): spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock,...); input_handle_event(): input_pass_values(): input_to_handler(): evdev_events(): evdev_pass_values(): spin_lock(&client->buffer_lock); __pass_event(): kill_fasync(): kill_fasync_rcu(): read_lock(&fa->fa_lock); send_sigio(): read_lock_irqsave(&fown->lock,...); However, since &dev->event_lock is HARDIRQ-safe, interrupts have to be disabled while grabbing &f->f_owner.lock, otherwise we invert the lock hierarchy. Hence, we replace calls to read_lock/read_unlock on &f->f_owner.lock, with read_lock_irq/read_unlock_irq.
