commit b8511ccc75c033f6d54188ea4df7bf1e85778740 upstream.
A resource group (rdtgrp) contains a reference count (rdtgrp->waitcount)
that indicates how many waiters expect this rdtgrp to exist. Waiters
could be waiting on rdtgroup_mutex or some work sitting on a task's
workqueue for when the task returns from kernel mode or exits.
The deletion of a rdtgrp is intended to have two phases:
(1) while holding rdtgroup_mutex the necessary cleanup is done and
rdtgrp->flags is set to RDT_DELETED,
(2) after releasing the rdtgroup_mutex, the rdtgrp structure is freed
only if there are no waiters and its flag is set to RDT_DELETED. Upon
gaining access to rdtgroup_mutex or rdtgrp, a waiter is required to check
for the RDT_DELETED flag.
When unmounting the resctrl file system or deleting ctrl_mon groups,
all of the subdirectories are removed and the data structure of rdtgrp
is forcibly freed without checking rdtgrp->waitcount. If at this point
there was a waiter on rdtgrp then a use-after-free issue occurs when the
waiter starts running and accesses the rdtgrp structure it was waiting
on.
See kfree() calls in [1], [2] and [3] in these two call paths in
following scenarios:
(1) rdt_kill_sb() -> rmdir_all_sub() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp()
(2) rdtgroup_rmdir() -> rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp()
There are several scenarios that result in use-after-free issue in
following:
Scenario 1:
-----------
In Thread 1, rdtgroup_tasks_write() adds a task_work callback
move_myself(). If move_myself() is scheduled to execute after Thread 2
rdt_kill_sb() is finished, referring to earlier rdtgrp memory
(rdtgrp->waitcount) which was already freed in Thread 2 results in
use-after-free issue.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, Slab corruption on kmalloc-2k can be observed
like following. Note that "0x6b" is POISON_FREE after kfree(). The
corrupted bits "0x6a", "0x64" at offset 0x424 correspond to
waitcount member of struct rdtgroup which was freed:
Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-2k start=ffff9504c5b0d000, len=2048

Fix this by taking reference count (waitcount) of rdtgrp into account in
the two call paths that currently do not do so. Instead of always
freeing the resource group it will only be freed if there are no waiters
on it. If there are waiters, the resource group will have its flags set
to RDT_DELETED.
It will be left to the waiter to free the resource group when it starts
running and finding that it was the last waiter and the resource group
has been removed (rdtgrp->flags & RDT_DELETED) since. (1) rdt_kill_sb()
-> rmdir_all_sub() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp() (2) rdtgroup_rmdir() ->
rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp()
Backporting notes:
Since upstream commit fa7d949337cc ("x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt
files to a separate directory"), the file
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c has been renamed and moved to
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c.
Apply the change against file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c
in older stable trees.
Fixes: f3cbeacaa06e ("x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add rmdir support")
Fixes: 60cf5e101fd4 ("x86/intel_rdt: Add mkdir to resctrl file system")
