x86/resctrl: Fix use-after-free due to inaccurate refcount of rdtgroup
There is a race condition in the following scenario which results in an
use-after-free issue when reading a monitoring file and deleting the
parent ctrl_mon group concurrently:
Thread 1 calls atomic_inc() to take refcount of rdtgrp and then calls
kernfs_break_active_protection() to drop the active reference of kernfs
node in rdtgroup_kn_lock_live().
In Thread 2, kernfs_remove() is a blocking routine. It waits on all sub
kernfs nodes to drop the active reference when removing all subtree
kernfs nodes recursively. Thread 2 could block on kernfs_remove() until
Thread 1 calls kernfs_break_active_protection(). Only after
kernfs_remove() completes the refcount of rdtgrp could be trusted.
Before Thread 1 calls atomic_inc() and kernfs_break_active_protection(),
Thread 2 could call kfree() when the refcount of rdtgrp (sentry) is 0
instead of 1 due to the race.
In Thread 1, in rdtgroup_kn_unlock(), referring to earlier rdtgrp memory
(rdtgrp->waitcount) which was already freed in Thread 2 results in
use-after-free issue.
Thread 1 (rdtgroup_mondata_show) Thread 2 (rdtgroup_rmdir)
-------------------------------- -------------------------
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live
/*

rdtgrp = kernfs_to_rdtgroup(kn)
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live
atomic_inc(&rdtgrp->waitcount)
mutex_lock
rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl
free_all_child_rdtgrp
/*

kfree(sentry)*[1]
/*

*/
atomic_inc(&rdtgrp->waitcount)
/* kn->active-- */
kernfs_break_active_protection(kn)
rdtgroup_ctrl_remove
rdtgrp->flags = RDT_DELETED
/*
* Blocking routine, wait for
* all sub kernfs nodes to drop
* active reference in
* kernfs_break_active_protection.
*/
kernfs_remove(rdtgrp->kn)
rdtgroup_kn_unlock
mutex_unlock
atomic_dec_and_test(
&rdtgrp->waitcount)
&& (flags & RDT_DELETED)
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection(kn)
kfree(rdtgrp)
mutex_lock
mon_event_read
rdtgroup_kn_unlock
mutex_unlock
/*
* Use-after-free: refer to earlier rdtgrp
* memory which was freed in [1].
*/
atomic_dec_and_test(&rdtgrp->waitcount)
&& (flags & RDT_DELETED)
/* kn->active++ */
kernfs_unbreak_active_protection(kn)
kfree(rdtgrp)
Fix it by moving free_all_child_rdtgrp() to after kernfs_remove() in
rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() to ensure it has the accurate refcount of rdtgrp.
