| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
__legitimize_mnt(): check for MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT should be under mount_lock
... or we risk stealing final mntput from sync umount - raising mnt_count
after umount(2) has verified that victim is not busy, but before it
has set MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT; in that case __legitimize_mnt() doesn't see
that it's safe to quietly undo mnt_count increment and leaves dropping
the reference to caller, where it'll be a full-blown mntput().
Check under mount_lock is needed; leaving the current one done before
taking that makes no sense - it's nowhere near common enough to bother
with. |

Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod"
This reverts commit e9f2517a3e18a54a3943c098d2226b245d488801.
Commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after
rmmod") is intended to fix a null-ptr-deref in LOCKDEP, which is
mentioned as CVE-2024-54680, but is actually did not fix anything;
The issue can be reproduced on top of it. [0]
Also, it reverted the change by commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client:
Fix use-after-free of network namespace.") and introduced a real
issue by reviving the kernel TCP socket.
When a reconnect happens for a CIFS connection, the socket state
transitions to FIN_WAIT_1. Then, inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync()
in tcp_close() stops all timers for the socket.
If an incoming FIN packet is lost, the socket will stay at FIN_WAIT_1
forever, and such sockets could be leaked up to net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans.
Usually, FIN can be retransmitted by the peer, but if the peer aborts
the connection, the issue comes into reality.
I warned about this privately by pointing out the exact report [1],
but the bogus fix was finally merged.
So, we should not stop the timers to finally kill the connection on
our side in that case, meaning we must not use a kernel socket for
TCP whose sk->sk_net_refcnt is 0.
The kernel socket does not have a reference to its netns to make it
possible to tear down netns without cleaning up every resource in it.
For example, tunnel devices use a UDP socket internally, but we can
destroy netns without removing such devices and let it complete
during exit. Otherwise, netns would be leaked when the last application
died.
However, this is problematic for TCP sockets because TCP has timers to
close the connection gracefully even after the socket is close()d. The
lifetime of the socket and its netns is different from the lifetime of
the underlying connection.
If the socket user does not maintain the netns lifetime, the timer could
be fired after the socket is close()d and its netns is freed up, resulting
in use-after-free.
Actually, we have seen so many similar issues and converted such sockets
to have a reference to netns.
That's why I converted the CIFS client socket to have a reference to
netns (sk->sk_net_refcnt == 1), which is somehow mentioned as out-of-scope
of CIFS and technically wrong in e9f2517a3e18, but **is in-scope and right
fix**.
Regarding the LOCKDEP issue, we can prevent the module unload by
bumping the module refcount when switching the LOCKDDEP key in
sock_lock_init_class_and_name(). [2]
For a while, let's revert the bogus fix.
Note that now we can use sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() for the socket
conversion, but I'll do so later separately to make backport easy. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/rdmavt: add lock to call to rvt_error_qp to prevent a race condition
The documentation of the function rvt_error_qp says both r_lock and s_lock
need to be held when calling that function. It also asserts using lockdep
that both of those locks are held. However, the commit I referenced in
Fixes accidentally makes the call to rvt_error_qp in rvt_ruc_loopback no
longer covered by r_lock. This results in the lockdep assertion failing
and also possibly in a race condition. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix missing barriers when accessing stream->subrequests locklessly
The list of subrequests attached to stream->subrequests is accessed without
locks by netfs_collect_read_results() and netfs_collect_write_results(),
and then they access subreq->flags without taking a barrier after getting
the subreq pointer from the list. Relatedly, the functions that build the
list don't use any sort of write barrier when constructing the list to make
sure that the NETFS_SREQ_IN_PROGRESS flag is perceived to be set first if
no lock is taken.
Fix this by:
(1) Add a new list_add_tail_release() function that uses a release barrier
to set the pointer to the new member of the list.
(2) Add a new list_first_entry_or_null_acquire() function that uses an
acquire barrier to read the pointer to the first member in a list (or
return NULL).
(3) Use list_add_tail_release() when adding a subreq to ->subrequests.
(4) Use list_first_entry_or_null_acquire() when initially accessing the
front of the list (when an item is removed, the pointer to the new
front iterm is obtained under the same lock). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix the locking used by afs_get_link()
The afs filesystem in the kernel doesn't do locking correctly for symbolic
links. There are a number of problems:
(1) It doesn't do any locking around afs_read_single() to prevent races
between multiple ->get_link() calls, thereby allowing the possibility
of leaks.
(2) It doesn't use RCU barriering when accessing the buffer pointers
during RCU pathwalk.
(3) It can race with another thread updating the contents of the symlink
if a third party updated it on the server.
Fix this by the following means:
(0) Move symlink handling into its own file as this makes it more
complicated.
(1) Take the validate_lock around afs_read_single() to prevent races
between multiple ->get_link() calls.
(2) Keep a separate copy of the symlink contents with an rcu_head. This
is always going to be a lot smaller than a page, so it can be
kmalloc'd and save quite a bit of memory. It also needs a refcount
for non-RCU pathwalk.
(3) Split the symlink read and write-to-cache routines in afs from those
for directories.
(4) Discard the I/O buffer as soon as the write-to-cache completes as this
is a full page (plus a folio_queue).
(5) If there's no cache, discard the I/O buffer immediately after reading
and copying if there is no cache. |
| When a Gitea Actions run was inserted, older runs in the same workflow-level concurrency group were cancelled without checking whether the new run still needed approval. Because fork pull request runs are inserted under the base repository, a user who can open a pull request from a fork could cancel trusted in-progress runs that share a concurrency group with `cancel-in-progress` enabled, without approval and without running any code. On self-hosted runners this can interrupt deployments and leave partial state behind. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: vport: fix self-deadlock on release of tunnel ports
vports are used concurrently and protected by RCU, so netdev_put()
must happen after the RCU grace period. So, either in an RCU call or
after the synchronize_net(). The rtnl_delete_link() must happen under
RTNL and so can't be executed in RCU context. Calling synchronize_net()
while holding RTNL is not a good idea for performance and system
stability under load in general, so calling netdev_put() in RCU call
is the right solution here.
However,
when the device is deleted, rtnl_unlock() will call netdev_run_todo()
and block until all the references are gone. In the current code this
means that we never reach the call_rcu() and the vport is never freed
and the reference is never released, causing a self-deadlock on device
removal.
Fix that by moving the rcu_call() before the rtnl_unlock(), so the
scheduled RCU callback will be executed when synchronize_net() is
called from the rtnl_unlock()->netdev_run_todo() while the RTNL itself
is already released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: fix soft lockup in retry_aligned_read()
When retry_aligned_read() encounters an overlapped stripe, it releases
the stripe via raid5_release_stripe() which puts it on the lockless
released_stripes llist. In the next raid5d loop iteration,
release_stripe_list() drains the stripe onto handle_list (since
STRIPE_HANDLE is set by the original IO), but retry_aligned_read()
runs before handle_active_stripes() and removes the stripe from
handle_list via find_get_stripe() -> list_del_init(). This prevents
handle_stripe() from ever processing the stripe to resolve the
overlap, causing an infinite loop and soft lockup.
Fix this by using __release_stripe() with temp_inactive_list instead
of raid5_release_stripe() in the failure path, so the stripe does not
go through the released_stripes llist. This allows raid5d to break out
of its loop, and the overlap will be resolved when the stripe is
eventually processed by handle_stripe(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix deadlock with check operation and nowait requests
When an array check is running it will raise the barrier at which point
normal requests will become blocked and increment the nr_pending value to
signal there is work pending inside of wait_barrier(). NOWAIT requests
do not block and so will return immediately with an error, and additionally
do not increment nr_pending in wait_barrier(). Upstream change commit
43806c3d5b9b ("raid10: cleanup memleak at raid10_make_request") added a
call to raid_end_bio_io() to fix a memory leak when NOWAIT requests hit
this condition. raid_end_bio_io() eventually calls allow_barrier() and
it will unconditionally do an atomic_dec_and_test(&conf->nr_pending) even
though the corresponding increment on nr_pending didn't happen in the
NOWAIT case.
This can be easily seen by starting a check operation while an application
is doing nowait IO on the same array. This results in a deadlocked state
due to nr_pending value underflowing and so the md resync thread gets stuck
waiting for nr_pending to == 0.
Output of r10conf state of the array when we hit this condition:
crash> struct r10conf
barrier = 1,
nr_pending = {
counter = -41
},
nr_waiting = 15,
nr_queued = 0,

nfc: llcp: add missing return after LLCP_CLOSED checks
In nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() and nfc_llcp_recv_disc(), when the socket
state is LLCP_CLOSED, the code correctly calls release_sock() and
nfc_llcp_sock_put() but fails to return. Execution falls through to
the remainder of the function, which calls release_sock() and
nfc_llcp_sock_put() again. This results in a double release_sock()
and a refcount underflow via double nfc_llcp_sock_put(), leading to
a use-after-free.
Add the missing return statements after the LLCP_CLOSED branches
in both functions to prevent the fall-through. |

RDMA/irdma: Fix deadlock during netdev reset with active connections
Resolve deadlock that occurs when user executes netdev reset while RDMA
applications (e.g., rping) are active. The netdev reset causes ice
driver to remove irdma auxiliary driver, triggering device_delete and
subsequent client removal. During client removal, uverbs_client waits
for QP reference count to reach zero while cma_client holds the final
reference, creating circular dependency and indefinite wait in iWARP
mode. Skip QP reference count wait during device reset to prevent
deadlock. |

phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not

is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the
triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to
phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and
release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcp251x: fix deadlock in error path of mcp251x_open
The mcp251x_open() function call free_irq() in its error path with the
mpc_lock mutex held. But if an interrupt already occurred the
interrupt handler will be waiting for the mpc_lock and free_irq() will
deadlock waiting for the handler to finish.
This issue is similar to the one fixed in commit 7dd9c26bd6cf ("can:
mcp251x: fix deadlock if an interrupt occurs during mcp251x_open") but
for the error path.
To solve this issue move the call to free_irq() after the lock is
released. Setting `priv->force_quit = 1` beforehand ensure that the IRQ
handler will exit right away once it acquired the lock. |

btrfs: do not strictly require dirty metadata threshold for metadata writepages
[BUG]
There is an internal report that over 1000 processes are
waiting at the io_schedule_timeout() of balance_dirty_pages(), causing
a system hang and trigger a kernel coredump.
The kernel is v6.4 kernel based, but the root problem still applies to
any upstream kernel before v6.18.
[CAUSE]
From Jan Kara for his wisdom on the dirty page balance behavior first.
This cgroup dirty limit was what was actually playing the role here
because the cgroup had only a small amount of memory and so the dirty
limit for it was something like 16MB.
Dirty throttling is responsible for enforcing that nobody can dirty
(significantly) more dirty memory than there's dirty limit. Thus when
a task is dirtying pages it periodically enters into balance_dirty_pages()
and we let it sleep there to slow down the dirtying.
When the system is over dirty limit already (either globally or within
a cgroup of the running task), we will not let the task exit from
balance_dirty_pages() until the number of dirty pages drops below the
limit.
So in this particular case, as I already mentioned, there was a cgroup
with relatively small amount of memory and as a result with dirty limit
set at 16MB. A task from that cgroup has dirtied about 28MB worth of
pages in btrfs btree inode and these were practically the only dirty
pages in that cgroup.
So that means the only way to reduce the dirty pages of that cgroup is
to writeback the dirty pages of btrfs btree inode, and only after that
those processes can exit balance_dirty_pages().
Now back to the btrfs part, btree_writepages() is responsible for
writing back dirty btree inode pages.
The problem here is, there is a btrfs internal threshold that if the
btree inode's dirty bytes are below the 32M threshold, it will not
do any writeback.
This behavior is to batch as much metadata as possible so we won't write
back those tree blocks and then later re-COW them again for another
modification.
This internal 32MiB is higher than the existing dirty page size (28MiB),
meaning no writeback will happen, causing a deadlock between btrfs and
cgroup:
- Btrfs doesn't want to write back btree inode until more dirty pages
- Cgroup/MM doesn't want more dirty pages for btrfs btree inode
Thus any process touching that btree inode is put into sleep until
the number of dirty pages is reduced.
Thanks Jan Kara a lot for the analysis of the root cause.
[ENHANCEMENT]
Since kernel commit b55102826d7d ("btrfs: set AS_KERNEL_FILE on the
btree_inode"), btrfs btree inode pages will only be charged to the root
cgroup which should have a much larger limit than btrfs' 32MiB
threshold.
So it should not affect newer kernels.
But for all current LTS kernels, they are all affected by this problem,
and backporting the whole AS_KERNEL_FILE may not be a good idea.
Even for newer kernels I still think it's a good idea to get
rid of the internal threshold at btree_writepages(), since for most cases
cgroup/MM has a better view of full system memory usage than btrfs' fixed
threshold.
For internal callers using btrfs_btree_balance_dirty() since that
function is already doing internal threshold check, we don't need to
bother them.
But for external callers of btree_writepages(), just respect their
requests and write back whatever they want, ignoring the internal
btrfs threshold to avoid such deadlock on btree inode dirty page
balancing. |

net: nfc: fix deadlock between nfc_unregister_device and rfkill_fop_write
A deadlock can occur between nfc_unregister_device() and rfkill_fop_write()
due to lock ordering inversion between device_lock and rfkill_global_mutex.
The problematic lock order is:
Thread A (rfkill_fop_write):
rfkill_fop_write()
mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex)
rfkill_set_block()
nfc_rfkill_set_block()
nfc_dev_down()
device_lock(&dev->dev) <- waits for device_lock
Thread B (nfc_unregister_device):
nfc_unregister_device()
device_lock(&dev->dev)
rfkill_unregister()
mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex) <- waits for rfkill_global_mutex
This creates a classic ABBA deadlock scenario.
Fix this by moving rfkill_unregister() and rfkill_destroy() outside the
device_lock critical section. Store the rfkill pointer in a local variable
before releasing the lock, then call rfkill_unregister() after releasing
device_lock.
This change is safe because rfkill_fop_write() holds rfkill_global_mutex
while calling the rfkill callbacks, and rfkill_unregister() also acquires
rfkill_global_mutex before cleanup. Therefore, rfkill_unregister() will
wait for any ongoing callback to complete before proceeding, and
device_del() is only called after rfkill_unregister() returns, preventing
any use-after-free.
The similar lock ordering in nfc_register_device() (device_lock ->
rfkill_global_mutex via rfkill_register) is safe because during
registration the device is not yet in rfkill_list, so no concurrent
rfkill operations can occur on this device. |

jbd2: prevent softlockup in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
Both jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() and jbd2_journal_shrink_checkpoint_list()
periodically release j_list_lock after processing a batch of buffers to
avoid long hold times on the j_list_lock. However, since both functions
contend for j_list_lock, the combined time spent waiting and processing
can be significant.
jbd2_journal_shrink_checkpoint_list() explicitly calls cond_resched() when
need_resched() is true to avoid softlockups during prolonged operations.
But jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() only exits its loop when need_resched() is
true, relying on potentially sleeping functions like __flush_batch() or
wait_on_buffer() to trigger rescheduling. If those functions do not sleep,
the kernel may hit a softlockup.

the commit 99b40610956a ("net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query
interval minimum"), add check for the query interval maximum to fix this
issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: f_midi: f_midi_complete to call queue_work
When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a
re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock.
Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via
a high priority work queue from the completion handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource: Use migrate_disable() to avoid calling get_random_u32() in atomic context
The following bug report happened with a PREEMPT_RT kernel:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2012, name: kwatchdog
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
get_random_u32+0x4f/0x110
clocksource_verify_choose_cpus+0xab/0x1a0
clocksource_verify_percpu.part.0+0x6b/0x330
clocksource_watchdog_kthread+0x193/0x1a0
It is due to the fact that clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() is invoked with
preemption disabled. This function invokes get_random_u32() to obtain
random numbers for choosing CPUs. The batched_entropy_32 local lock and/or
the base_crng.lock spinlock in driver/char/random.c will be acquired during
the call. In PREEMPT_RT kernel, they are both sleeping locks and so cannot
be acquired in atomic context.
Fix this problem by using migrate_disable() to allow smp_processor_id() to
be reliably used without introducing atomic context. preempt_disable() is
then called after clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() but before the
clocksource measurement is being run to avoid introducing unexpected
latency. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
team: prevent adding a device which is already a team device lower
Prevent adding a device which is already a team device lower,
e.g. adding veth0 if vlan1 was already added and veth0 is a lower of
vlan1.
This is not useful in practice and can lead to recursive locking:
$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
$ ip link set veth0 up
$ ip link set veth1 up
$ ip link add link veth0 name veth0.1 type vlan protocol 802.1Q id 1
$ ip link add team0 type team
$ ip link set veth0.1 down
$ ip link set veth0.1 master team0
team0: Port device veth0.1 added
$ ip link set veth0 down
$ ip link set veth0 master team0
