4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 384632e67e0829deb8015ee6ad916b180049d252 upstream. When reading the event from the uffd, we put it on a temporary fork_event list to detect if we can still access it after releasing and retaking the event_wqh.lock. If fork aborts and removes the event from the fork_event all is fine as long as we're still in the userfault read context and fork_event head is still alive. We've to put the event allocated in the fork kernel stack, back from fork_event list-head to the event_wqh head, before returning from userfaultfd_ctx_read, because the fork_event head lifetime is limited to the userfaultfd_ctx_read stack lifetime. Forgetting to move the event back to its event_wqh place then results in __remove_wait_queue(&ctx->event_wqh, &ewq->wq); in userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to remove it from a head that has been already freed from the reader stack. This could only happen if resolve_userfault_fork failed (for example if there are no file descriptors available to allocate the fork uffd). If it succeeded it was put back correctly. Furthermore, after find_userfault_evt receives a fork event, the forked userfault context in fork_nctx and uwq->msg.arg.reserved.reserved1 can be released by the fork thread as soon as the event_wqh.lock is released. Taking a reference on the fork_nctx before dropping the lock prevents an use after free in resolve_userfault_fork(). If the fork side aborted and it already released everything, we still try to succeed resolve_userfault_fork(), if possible.
