rqspinlock: Reset tail when preserving queue on deadlock
Currently, the destruction of the waiter queue is suppressed for
rqspinlock in cases where a deadlock is detected. Deadlock checks happen
relatively frequently (on entry for AA, within 1ms for ABBA), and waiter
threads may not be involved in locking scenarios involving deadlocks.
Thus, it is useful to not flush the queue and let other waiters take a
stab at acquiring the lock after we detect a deadlock and exit.
However, we need to follow the same logic as what we did previously for
the waitq_timeout label: reset the tail, and if we cannot, signal the
next waiter appropriately. In case of deadlocks, this signal would just
mark the MCS node as unlocked, and in case of timeouts, it would signal
RES_TIMEOUT_VAL. The difference thus is in the value propagated, which
decides whether the queue remains active or gets flushed.
Not doing the tail reset, and waiting for the next waiter can lead to
cases where we are the final waiter, and thus no next waiter arrives,
leading to intermittent stalls in this path. Once the next waiter does
join, we will be unblocked. In the theoretical case when the next waiter
never joins, we risk stalling indefinitely.
This can only happen for ABBA deadlocks, since entry into the wait queue
is guarded with AA checks. A precise sequence of executions leading up
to this scenario can be:
CPU 0 holds lock A.
CPU 1 holds lock B.
CPU 2 attempts lock B, becomes the pending waiter for B.
CPU 0 attempts lock B. B has locked+pending bits set, thus CPU 0 queues.
CPU 1 attempts lock A.
CPU 0 detects an ABBA deadlock.
Once deadlock detection happens for CPU 0, it will sit waiting for the
next waiter in the queue to populate node->next, which will experience
delays until such a waiter arrives.
Fix this by adjusting the logic for the check for deadlocks preceding
the waitq_timeout label. It would make sense to consolidate code for
both cases and use 'ret' to distinguish the value being propagated, but
that is left as an exercise for a future refactoring task to avoid diff
noise in this patch. |

tpm: tpm_tis_spi: Use wait_woken() in wait_for_tmp_stat()
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() evaluates its condition after setting
the current task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP this triggers a warning when the IRQ wait
path is used:
tpm_tis_status()
tpm_tis_spi_read_bytes()
tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full()
spi_bus_lock()
mutex_lock()
Address this with the following measures:
1. Call wait_tpm_stat_cond() only while tasking is running.
2. Use wait_woken() to wait for changes. |

openrisc: Fix jump_label smp syncing
The original commit 8c30b0018f9d ("openrisc: Add jump label support")
copies from arm64 and does not properly consider how icache invalidation
on remote cores works in OpenRISC. On OpenRISC remote icaches need to
be invalidated otherwise static key's may remain state after updating.
Fix SMP cache syncing by:
1. Properly invalidate remote core icaches on SMP systems by using
icache_all_inv. The old code uses kick_all_cpus_sync() which runs a
no-op IPI function call on remote CPU's which does execute a lot of
code and flushes many cache lines in the process, but does not flush
all and it's not correct on OpenRISC.
2. For architectures that do not have WRITETHROUGH caches be sure
to flush the dcache after patching.
To test this I first reproduced the issue using a custom test module
[0]. The test confirmed that some icache lines maintained stale
static_key code sequences after calling static_branch_enable(). After
this patch there are no longer jump_label coherency issues.

net: microchip: vcap: fix races on the shared Super VCAP block
The VCAP instances on a chip are not independent, yet they are locked
independently. On sparx5 and lan969x the IS0 and IS2 instances are
backed by the same Super VCAP hardware block and share its cache and
command registers: every access drives the shared VCAP_SUPER_CTRL
register and moves data through the shared cache registers.
Accessing one instance therefore races with accessing another. The
per-instance admin->lock cannot prevent this, as each instance takes a
different lock.
The locking issue is mostly disguised by the fact that the core usage of
the vcap api runs under rtnl. However, the full rule dump in debugfs
decodes rules straight from hardware (a READ command followed by a cache
read) and runs outside rtnl, so it races a concurrent tc-flower rule
write to another Super VCAP instance.
Besides corrupting the dump, the read repopulates the shared cache
between the writers cache fill and its write command, so the writer
commits the wrong data and corrupts the hardware entry.
Introduce vcap_lock() and vcap_unlock() helpers and route every rule
lock site in the VCAP API and its debugfs code through them. Replace the
per-instance admin->lock with a single mutex in struct vcap_control that
serializes access to all instances. The helpers reach it through a new
admin->vctrl back-pointer, and the clients initialise and destroy the
control lock instead of a per-instance one.
No path holds more than one instance lock, so collapsing them onto a
single mutex cannot self-deadlock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_hfsc: Don't make class passive twice
update_vf() is called from two places for the same class during a single
dequeue when the class's child qdisc (e.g. codel/fq_codel) drops its last
packets while dequeuing:
1. The child calls qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), which, now that the child
is empty, invokes hfsc_qlen_notify() -> update_vf(cl, 0, 0) and turns
the class passive (cl_nactive is decremented up the hierarchy).
2. hfsc_dequeue() then calls update_vf(cl, qdisc_pkt_len(skb), cur_time)
to charge the dequeued bytes.
On the second call the class is already passive, but its child qdisc is
still empty, so update_vf() arms go_passive again:
if (cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 && cl->cl_flags & HFSC_FSC)
go_passive = 1;
The leaf is then skipped by the cl_nactive == 0 check inside the loop,
which does not clear go_passive, so the stale go_passive propagates to the
parent and decrements its cl_nactive a second time. A parent that still
has other active children is driven to cl_nactive == 0 and removed from
the vttree, even though those siblings are still backlogged. They are
never dequeued again and the qdisc stalls.
Fix this by only arming go_passive when the class is actually active, so an
already-passive class no longer triggers a second passive transition. The
byte accounting (cl->cl_total += len) still runs for every ancestor, so
dequeued bytes continue to be counted exactly once. |

bpf: fix UAF by restoring RCU-delayed inode freeing in bpffs
commit 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning
htab with internal structs") moved inode cleanup from ->free_inode()
into ->destroy_inode() to avoid sleeping in RCU context when calling
bpf_any_put(). However this removed the RCU delay on freeing the
inode itself and the cached symlink body (i_link), both of which
can be accessed by RCU pathwalk (pick_link, may_lookup etc.).
This causes a use-after-free when a concurrent unlinkat() drops the
last inode reference and destroy_inode() frees the inode immediately,
while another task is still walking the path in RCU mode and reads
inode->i_opflags (offset +2) inside current_time() -> is_mgtime().
KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_mgtime include/linux/fs.h:2313
Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880407e4282 (offset +2 = i_opflags)
The rules (per Al Viro):
->destroy_inode() called immediately, can sleep, use for blocking
cleanup e.g. bpf_any_put()
->free_inode() called after RCU grace period, use for freeing
inode and anything RCU-accessible e.g. i_link
Fix: split the two concerns properly:
- keep bpf_any_put() in bpf_destroy_inode() since it is blocking
and needs to run promptly
- introduce bpf_free_inode() to handle kfree(i_link) and
free_inode_nonrcu() with proper RCU delay, preventing the UAF |

wifi: mac80211: free AP_VLAN bc_buf SKBs outside IRQ lock
ieee80211_do_stop() removes AP_VLAN packets from the parent AP
ps->bc_buf while holding ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs disabled. It then
calls ieee80211_free_txskb() before dropping the lock.
ieee80211_free_txskb() is not just a passive SKB release. For SKBs with
TX status state it can report a dropped frame through cfg80211/nl80211,
and that path can reach netlink tap transmit. This is the same reason
the pending queue cleanup in ieee80211_do_stop() already unlinks SKBs
under the queue lock and frees them after IRQ state is restored.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
AP_VLAN management TX: AP_VLAN stop:
1. attach ACK-status state 1. clear the running state
2. queue a multicast SKB on 2. take ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs
parent ps->bc_buf disabled
3. unlink the AP_VLAN SKB
4. call ieee80211_free_txskb()
Unlink matching AP_VLAN SKBs from ps->bc_buf under the existing lock,
but move them to a local free queue. Drop the lock and restore IRQ state
before calling ieee80211_free_txskb().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: dummy_hcd: prevent fifo_req reuse during giveback
dummy_hcd embeds a single shared usb_request (dum->fifo_req) that the
"emulated single-request FIFO" fast-path in dummy_queue() reuses for
small IN transfers: it copies the caller's request into it
(req->req = *_req) and queues it, treating list_empty(&fifo_req.queue)
as "the slot is free".
The completion side (dummy_timer/transfer/nuke/dummy_dequeue) follows
the standard pattern: list_del_init(&req->queue) unlinks the request,
then the lock is dropped and usb_gadget_giveback_request() invokes
req->complete(). But list_del_init() makes fifo_req.queue look empty
*before* the completion callback returns, so a concurrent dummy_queue()
on another CPU sees the slot as free, reuses fifo_req and runs
req->req = *_req -- overwriting req->complete while dummy_timer is
mid-calling it. The indirect call then jumps to a clobbered pointer,
causing a general protection fault / page fault in dummy_timer
(syzkaller extid faf3a6cf579fc65591ca). The clobbering write is an
in-bounds memcpy on a live shared object, so KASAN cannot flag it.
Add a fifo_req_busy bit covering the shared request's whole lifetime:
set it in dummy_queue() when the FIFO fast-path takes fifo_req (making
it the fast-path guard, replacing the list_empty(&fifo_req.queue)
test), and clear it after the completion callback has returned, via a
dummy_giveback() helper used at all four gadget-request giveback
sites. The shared slot can no longer be reused until its completion
callback has finished. |

KVM: SVM: Bump asid_generation on CPU online to avoid ASID collision after hotplug
If a vCPU stays scheduled out (or blocked) while the last pCPU it ran
on goes through a hotplug cycle (online->offline->online), and the vCPU
then resumes execution on the same pCPU, then it is possible for it to
run with an ASID that has now been assigned to a different vCPU,
resulting in stale TLB translations being used.
svm_enable_virtualization_cpu() resets asid_generation to 1 and sets
next_asid to max_asid + 1 on every CPU online event, including hotplug
cycles. Because next_asid starts beyond the pool boundary, the first
call to new_asid() after an online event always wraps the pool,
incrementing asid_generation to 2 and assigning ASIDs starting from
min_asid.
Consider two vCPUs from different VMs, vCPU-A pinned to CPU-X holding
asid_generation=2 and ASID=N from before the hotplug event:
1. CPU-X goes offline and back online: asid_generation resets to 1,
next_asid = max_asid + 1.
2. One or more vCPUs migrate to CPU-X and call new_asid(), wrapping
the pool and consuming ASIDs starting from min_asid. Eventually
vCPU-B from a different VM is assigned asid_generation=2, ASID=N
— the same ASID that vCPU-A held before the hotplug.
3. vCPU-A enters pre_svm_run() on CPU-X: current_vmcb->cpu is
unchanged so the migration branch is skipped. Its saved
asid_generation=2 matches sd->asid_generation=2, so the generation
check silently passes and vCPU-A continues running with ASID=N —
the same ASID just freshly assigned to vCPU-B.
Both vCPUs from different VMs now run on CPU-X with the same ASID,
causing them to share NPT TLB entries and producing stale translations.
The collision manifests as a KVM internal error (Suberror: 1, emulation
failure). The NPT page fault reports a faulting GPA far outside the
VM's physical memory range — a sign of stale TLB translations being
used. KVM falls back to instruction emulation, which fails on
FPU/XSave instructions (XRSTOR, STMXCSR) that the emulator does not
implement.
Fix this by incrementing asid_generation instead of resetting it to 1
in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu(). On module load, asid_generation
starts at 0 (memset) and the increment produces 1, identical to the
old behaviour. On subsequent hotplug cycles the generation advances
beyond any value a vCPU previously observed on this CPU, so the
generation check in pre_svm_run() reliably forces new_asid() on every
vCPU after every hotplug cycle. |

smp: Make CSD lock acquisition atomic for debug mode
Commit b0473dcd4b1d ("smp: Improve smp_call_function_single()
CSD-lock diagnostics") changed smp_call_function_single() so that,
when CSD lock debugging is enabled, async !wait calls use the
destination CPU csd_data. That improves diagnostics, but it also removes
the single-writer property that made the old csd_lock() safe: multiple
CPUs can now prepare the same destination CPU CSD concurrently.
csd_lock() currently waits for CSD_FLAG_LOCK to clear and then sets the
bit with a non-atomic read-modify-write. Two senders can both see an
unlocked CSD, set the bit, overwrite the callback fields, and enqueue
the same llist node. Re-adding a node that is already the queue head can
make node->next point to itself, leaving the target CPU stuck walking
call_single_queue. Later synchronous work, such as a TLB shootdown, can
then remain queued and trigger soft-lockup warnings or panics.
Keep the single csd_lock() implementation, but when CSD lock debugging is
enabled, acquire CSD_FLAG_LOCK with try_cmpxchg_acquire(). This makes the
destination CPU CSD a real atomic lock in the only configuration where it
can be shared by multiple remote senders, while preserving the existing
non-debug fast path. |

md/md-llbitmap: raise barrier before state machine transition
Move the barrier raise operation before calling llbitmap_state_machine()

ensures the barrier is in place before any state transitions occur,
preventing potential race conditions where the state machine could
complete before the barrier is properly raised. |

srcu: Don't queue workqueue handlers to never-online CPUs
While an srcu_struct structure is in the midst of switching from CPU-0
to all-CPUs state, it can attempt to invoke callbacks for CPUs that
have never been online. Worse yet, it can attempt in invoke callbacks
for CPUs that never will be online, even including imaginary CPUs not in
cpu_possible_mask. This can cause hangs on s390, which is not set up to
deal with workqueue handlers being scheduled on such CPUs. This commit
therefore causes Tree SRCU to refrain from queueing workqueue handlers
on CPUs that have not yet (and might never) come online.
Because callbacks are not invoked on CPUs that have not been
online, it is an error to invoke call_srcu(), synchronize_srcu(), or
synchronize_srcu_expedited() on a CPU that is not yet fully online.
However, it turns out to be less code to redirect the callbacks
from too-early invocations of call_srcu() than to warn about such
invocations. This commit therefore also redirects callbacks queued on
not-yet-fully-online CPUs to the boot CPU. |

xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG in iptfs_skb_add_frags()
When iptfs_skb_add_frags() copies frag references from the source
frag walk into a new SKB, it increments the page reference count via
__skb_frag_ref() but does not propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to the
destination SKB's skb_shinfo->flags.
If the source SKB carries shared frags (e.g. from a page-pool backed
receive path), the new inner SKB will appear to ESP as having privately
owned frags. A subsequent esp_input() call for a nested transport-mode
SA then takes the no-COW fast path and decrypts in place, writing over
pages that are still referenced by the outer IPTFS SKB. This causes
kernel-visible memory corruption and can trigger a panic.
All other frag-transfer helpers in the kernel (skb_try_coalesce,
skb_gro_receive, __pskb_copy_fclone, skb_shift, skb_segment) correctly
propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG; align iptfs_skb_add_frags() with this
convention by setting the flag inside the loop immediately after
__skb_frag_ref() and nr_frags++, so every exit path that attaches a frag
unconditionally propagates SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG. |

btrfs: fix memory ordering between normal and ordered work functions
Ordered work functions aren't guaranteed to be handled by the same thread
which executed the normal work functions. The only way execution between
normal/ordered functions is synchronized is via the WORK_DONE_BIT,
unfortunately the used bitops don't guarantee any ordering whatsoever.
This manifested as seemingly inexplicable crashes on ARM64, where
async_chunk::inode is seen as non-null in async_cow_submit which causes
submit_compressed_extents to be called and crash occurs because
async_chunk::inode suddenly became NULL. The call trace was similar to:
pc : submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0
lr : async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0
sp : ffff800015d4bc20
<registers omitted for brevity>
Call trace:
submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0
async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0
run_ordered_work+0xc8/0x280
btrfs_work_helper+0x98/0x250
process_one_work+0x1f0/0x4ac
worker_thread+0x188/0x504
kthread+0x110/0x114
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18
Fix this by adding respective barrier calls which ensure that all
accesses preceding setting of WORK_DONE_BIT are strictly ordered before
setting the flag. At the same time add a read barrier after reading of
WORK_DONE_BIT in run_ordered_work which ensures all subsequent loads
would be strictly ordered after reading the bit. This in turn ensures
are all accesses before WORK_DONE_BIT are going to be strictly ordered
before any access that can occur in ordered_func. |

xfrm: move policy_bydst RCU sync from per-netns .exit to .pre_exit
The struct pernet_operations docstring in include/net/net_namespace.h
explicitly warns against blocking RCU primitives in .exit handlers:
Exit methods using blocking RCU primitives, such as
synchronize_rcu(), should be implemented via exit_batch.
[...]
Please, avoid synchronize_rcu() at all, where it's possible.
Note that a combination of pre_exit() and exit() can
be used, since a synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed between
the calls.
xfrm_policy_fini() violates this: it calls synchronize_rcu() before
freeing the policy_bydst hash tables (so no RCU reader is mid-
traversal at free time), but runs from xfrm_net_ops.exit -- once per
namespace -- so a cleanup_net() of N namespaces pays N full RCU
grace periods serially.
Use the documented pre_exit/exit split. Move the policy flush (and
the workqueue drains it depends on) into a new .pre_exit handler;
xfrm_policy_fini() then runs in .exit and frees the hash tables
after the synchronize_rcu_expedited() that cleanup_net() guarantees
between the two phases. Providing O(1) RCU grace periods per batch
instead of O(N).
Observed on Linux 6.18 with a workload doing unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)
at ~13/sec sustained: cleanup_net() and the netns_wq rescuer kthread
both stuck in xfrm_policy_fini()'s synchronize_rcu(), >300k struct
net accumulated in the cleanup queue, Percpu in /proc/meminfo climbed
to 130+ GB on 256-CPU hosts, and memcg OOMs followed. setup_net and
__put_net counts were balanced, ruling out a refcount leak. |
