3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brian Silverman <bsilver16384@xxxxxxxxx> commit 30a6b8031fe14031ab27c1fa3483cb9780e7f63c upstream. free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's. exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi doesn't, which means free_pi_state can free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. For example: task A | task B exit_pi_state_list | pi_state = | curr->pi_state_list->next | | futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1) | // pi_state is the same as | // the one in task A | free_pi_state(pi_state) | list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | kfree(pi_state) list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb locks which it's already holding. [ tglx: Removed a pointless free_pi_state() call and the hb->lock held debugging. The latter comes via a seperate patch ] Signed-off-by: Brian Silverman <bsilver16384@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: austin.linux@xxxxxxxxx Cc: darren@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414282837-23092-1-git-send-email-bsilver16384@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/futex.c | 22 +++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) --- a/kernel/futex.c +++ b/kernel/futex.c @@ -641,8 +641,14 @@ static struct futex_pi_state * alloc_pi_ return pi_state; } +/* + * Must be called with the hb lock held. + */ static void free_pi_state(struct futex_pi_state *pi_state) { + if (!pi_state) + return; + if (!atomic_dec_and_test(&pi_state->refcount)) return; @@ -1521,15 +1527,6 @@ static int futex_requeue(u32 __user *uad } retry: - if (pi_state != NULL) { - /* - * We will have to lookup the pi_state again, so free this one - * to keep the accounting correct. - */ - free_pi_state(pi_state); - pi_state = NULL; - } - ret = get_futex_key(uaddr1, flags & FLAGS_SHARED, &key1, VERIFY_READ); if (unlikely(ret != 0)) goto out; @@ -1619,6 +1616,8 @@ retry_private: case 0: break; case -EFAULT: + free_pi_state(pi_state); + pi_state = NULL; double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); put_futex_key(&key2); @@ -1634,6 +1633,8 @@ retry_private: * exit to complete. * - The user space value changed. */ + free_pi_state(pi_state); + pi_state = NULL; double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); put_futex_key(&key2); @@ -1710,6 +1711,7 @@ retry_private: } out_unlock: + free_pi_state(pi_state); double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); @@ -1727,8 +1729,6 @@ out_put_keys: out_put_key1: put_futex_key(&key1); out: - if (pi_state != NULL) - free_pi_state(pi_state); return ret ? ret : task_count; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
