Subject: futex: Fix more put_pi_state() vs. exit_pi_state_list() races
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 153fbd1226fb30b8630802aa5047b8af5ef53c9f upstream.
Dmitry (through syzbot) reported being able to trigger the WARN in
get_pi_state() and a use-after-free on:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);
Both are due to this race:
exit_pi_state_list() put_pi_state()
lock(&curr->pi_lock)
while() {
pi_state = list_first_entry(head);
hb = hash_futex(&pi_state->key);
unlock(&curr->pi_lock);
dec_and_test(&pi_state->refcount);
lock(&hb->lock)
lock(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock) // uaf if pi_state free'd
lock(&curr->pi_lock);
....
unlock(&curr->pi_lock);
get_pi_state(); // WARN; refcount==0
The problem is we take the reference count too late, and don't allow it
being 0. Fix it by using inc_not_zero() and simply retrying the loop
when we fail to get a refcount. In that case put_pi_state() should
remove the entry from the list.
