Subject: Possible race in dev_coredumpm()-del_timer() path
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2022 10:59:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e1f81e2-428c-f11f-ce92-eb11048cb271@quicinc.com> (raw)
Hi All,
We are hitting one race due to which try_to_grab_pending() is stuck .
In following scenario, while running (p1)dev_coredumpm() devcd device is
added to
the framework and uevent notification sent to userspace that result in
the call to (p2) devcd_data_write()
which eventually try to delete the queued timer which in the racy
scenario timer is not queued yet.
So, debug object report some warning and in the meantime timer is
initialized and queued from p1 path.
and from p2 path it gets overriden again timer->entry.pprev=NULL and
try_to_grab_pending() stuck
as del_timer() always return 0 as timer_pending() return false.
P1 P2(X)
dev_coredumpm()
Uevent notification sent to
userspace
for device addition
device_add() ========================>
Process X reads this uevents
notification and do write call
that results in call to
devcd_data_write()
mod_delayed_work()
try_to_grab_pending()
del_timer()
debug_assert_init()
INIT_DELAYED_WORK
(&devcd->del_wk, devcd_del);
schedule_delayed_work(&devcd->del_wk,
DEVCD_TIMEOUT);
debug_object_fixup()
timer_fixup_assert_init()
timer_setup()
do_init_timer() ==> reinitialized the timer to timer->entry.pprev=NULL
timer_pending()
!hlist_unhashed_lockless(&timer->entry)
!h->pprev
Thanks.
Mukesh
