From 47dcfde4a9cc9f0e2dbe3fab9d8fc10ad42f1c00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2017 18:55:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] epoll: fix race between ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) and ep_free()/ep_remove() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 138e4ad67afd5c6c318b056b4d17c17f2c0ca5c0 upstream. The race was introduced by me in commit 971316f0503a ("epoll: ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead"). I did not realize that nothing can protect eventpoll after ep_poll_callback() sets ->whead = NULL, only whead->lock can save us from the race with ep_free() or ep_remove(). Move ->whead = NULL to the end of ep_poll_callback() and add the necessary barriers. TODO: cleanup the ewake/EPOLLEXCLUSIVE logic, it was confusing even before this patch. Hopefully this explains use-after-free reported by syzcaller: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in debug_spin_lock_before ... _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4a/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:159 ep_poll_callback+0x29f/0xff0 fs/eventpoll.c:1148 this is spin_lock(eventpoll->lock), ...
