From: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6f363f5aa845561f7ea496d8b1175e3204470486 upstream. We found a refcount UAF bug as follows: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 342 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xa0/0x148 Workqueue: events cpuset_hotplug_workfn Call trace: refcount_warn_saturate+0xa0/0x148 __refcount_add.constprop.0+0x5c/0x80 css_task_iter_advance_css_set+0xd8/0x210 css_task_iter_advance+0xa8/0x120 css_task_iter_next+0x94/0x158 update_tasks_root_domain+0x58/0x98 rebuild_root_domains+0xa0/0x1b0 rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x144/0x188 cpuset_hotplug_workfn+0x138/0x5a0 process_one_work+0x1e8/0x448 worker_thread+0x228/0x3e0 kthread+0xe0/0xf0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 then a kernel panic will be triggered as below: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000c0000010 Call trace: cgroup_apply_control_disable+0xa4/0x16c rebind_subsystems+0x224/0x590 cgroup_destroy_root+0x64/0x2e0 css_free_rwork_fn+0x198/0x2a0 process_one_work+0x1d4/0x4bc worker_thread+0x158/0x410 kthread+0x108/0x13c ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 The race that cause this bug can be shown as below: (hotplug cpu) | (umount cpuset) mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex) cpuset_hotplug_workfn | rebuild_root_domains | rebind_subsystems update_tasks_root_domain | spin_lock_irq(&css_set_lock) css_task_iter_start | list_move_tail(&cset->e_cset_node[ss->id] while(css_task_iter_next) | &dcgrp->e_csets[ss->id]); css_task_iter_end | spin_unlock_irq(&css_set_lock) mutex_unlock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex) Inside css_task_iter_start/next/end, css_set_lock is hold and then released, so when iterating task(left side), the css_set may be moved to another list(right side), then it->cset_head points to the old list head and it->cset_pos->next points to the head node of new list, which can't be used as struct css_set. To fix this issue, switch from all css_sets to only scgrp's css_sets to patch in-flight iterators to preserve correct iteration, and then update it->cset_head as well.
