mm/vmscan: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in shrink_lruvec()
I am seeing some rcu_tasks stalls in the Meta fleet during reclaim.
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:

Nothing promises direct reclaim returns in bounded time, and the scan loop
in shrink_lruvec() only calls cond_resched(), which is a no-op on
PREEMPTION kernels. Involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent
state, so the reclaiming task never reports one and becomes a holdout.
Upgrade it to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which reports a quiescent state
even when cond_resched() does nothing.

tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication
dup_task_struct() copies user_event_mm from the parent into the child,
without grabbing a reference to it. user_event_mm_dup() should
replace it, but it leaves that copied pointer unmodified if
user_event_mm_alloc() fails.
When the child exits, user_event_mm_remove() decrements a reference
the child never owned, which ultimately frees user_event_mm, while
the parent still as a stale pointer to it. This creates a UAF, which
KASAN reports as:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers
When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same
name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to
tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(),
because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while
the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger().
In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second
histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its
tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the
trace_array reference it holds.
A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file()
walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is
reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs:
cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

rapidio: mport_cdev: fix use-after-free in dma_req_free()
dma_req_free() acquires buf_mutex through req->map, drops the mapping
reference with kref_put(), and then dereferences req->map again to unlock
the mutex.
If kref_put() drops the last reference, mport_release_mapping() frees the
mapping, and the subsequent mutex_unlock() dereferences a freed object.
This is a use-after-free.
Fix this by caching map and md before kref_put(), clearing req->map while
holding buf_mutex, and using the cached md for mutex unlocking.
The bug is reachable from userspace via the RapidIO mport character device
interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: Fix use-after-free on sound card disconnect
g_audio_cleanup() invokes snd_card_free_when_closed() to initiate sound
card teardown and immediately frees the underlying struct snd_uac_chip
context. However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously
while ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.
When userspace control applications access or close these open file
descriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data
pointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure,
resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.
Fix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until
all references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom
card->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup()
that frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring
buffers only when the sound card reference count drops to zero. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: fix dangling pointers in uvc_function_bind() and uvc_function_unbind()
In uvc_function_bind() error path, we use usb_ep_free_request which
uses uvc->control_req but does not set it to NULL afterwards. Thus,
uvc->control_req is a dangling pointer causing a UAF. Also we do not set
the uvc->control_buf pointer to NULL after freeing it, which is another
dangling pointer. Fix it by setting uvc->control_req to NULL after we run
usb_ep_free_request() and uvc->control_buf to NULL after kfree. Do the
same for uvc_function_unbind(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock
nfsd4_ssc_expire_umount() walks nn->nfsd_ssc_mount_list with
list_for_each_entry_safe(ni, tmp, ...). For each expired entry it
sets nsui_busy = true, drops nfsd_ssc_lock to run mntput() on the
source vfsmount, then reacquires the lock to list_del + kfree the
entry and continue iterating via the macro's saved tmp pointer.
The nsui_busy flag protects the current ni from concurrent
nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul() finders during the lock-drop window, but it
does not pin tmp. Another nfsd RPC thread that fails its source-
server mount and reaches nfsd4_ssc_cancel_dul() will, during that
same window, take nfsd_ssc_lock, list_del + kfree its own ssc_umount
item, and release the lock. If that item is the saved tmp of the
expire walk, the next iteration dereferences a freed
nfsd4_ssc_umount_item.
Restart the walk from the head after the mntput() unlock window so
no saved next pointer survives the lock-drop. The list is bounded
by the number of active inter-server source mounts (typically small)
and the expire delayed-work runs periodically rather than per-IO,
so the restart is cheap. |

nfsd: fix cpntf publish race in nfs4_init_cp_state
nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() published the new cpntf entry into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR (with cs_type set) in one s2s_cp_lock section, then
took the lock again to list_add() it onto p_stid->sc_cp_list. In the gap
the entry is reachable by so_id but cp_list is still {NULL,NULL} from
kzalloc. A racing OFFLOAD_CANCEL (so_id is echoed to the client as
cnr_stateid, so any NFSv4.2 client can drive it) reaches
manage_cpntf_state() -> _free_cpntf_state_locked() and does list_del() on
the zeroed list_head, oopsing the server.
Fold the cs_type assignment and the list_add() into the same critical
section as idr_alloc_cyclic(), so a concurrent lookup either misses the
entry or sees a fully linked cp_list. INIT_LIST_HEAD() the entry after
allocation and switch _free_cpntf_state_locked() to list_del_init() so a
stale unlink is a no-op. nfs4_init_copy_state() passes NULL p_stid and
skips the list_add, preserving NFS4_COPY_STID semantics. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: initialize copy-notify stateid before publishing it
nfsd4_copy_notify() finished initializing the cpntf state after
nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state() had already linked it into the
s2s_cp_stateids IDR and the parent's sc_cp_list, with cs_count == 1 (the
membership reference) and none held for the caller. A racing
OFFLOAD_CANCEL (crafted cl_id == nn->s2s_cp_cl_id plus the guessable
so_id) could reach manage_cpntf_state() and free the entry, turning the
caller's subsequent cpn_cnr_stateid read and cp_p_stateid/cp_p_clid
writes into use-after-free. The owning clientid was also only recorded
after publication, so it could not gate an ownership check in that window.
Record cp_p_stateid and cp_p_clid inside nfs4_alloc_init_cpntf_state()
before nfs4_init_cp_state() publishes the entry, and return it with an
extra reference. The caller reads the stateid under that reference and
drops it with nfs4_put_cpntf_state(); on a late error the laundromat
reaps the entry. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: revoke copy-notify stateids before dropping their reference
Copy-notify stateids live in the s2s_cp_stateids IDR and on their parent
stid's sc_cp_list, pinned by a single membership reference.
_free_cpntf_state_locked() only unlinks an entry once its refcount reaches
zero, so any revoke path that runs while a concurrent
find_cpntf_state()/manage_cpntf_state() holder has elevated cs_count drops
the reference without unlinking, leaving the entry discoverable with its
membership reference already consumed. A second revoke or a laundromat tick
then frees it while the reader still holds the pointer -- a
KASAN-detectable use-after-free at the reader's nfs4_put_cpntf_state().
This affected all three revoke paths:
- The parent-stid drain (nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist()) repeatedly called
_free_cpntf_state_locked() on the first list entry; a holder that had
bumped cs_count made it return early, so the next iteration
re-decremented and burned the holder's reference.
- OFFLOAD_CANCEL (manage_cpntf_state()) and laundromat expiry likewise
used _free_cpntf_state_locked() and could drop 2->1 without unlinking.
Add revoke_cpntf_state_locked(), which unhashes the entry from the IDR and
sc_cp_list first (deferring the final free to any holder), and use it from
all three revoke paths. The drain now walks with list_for_each_entry_safe()
and revokes each entry unconditionally, so it terminates in one pass per
entry regardless of cs_count. The unhash is gated on
!list_empty(&cps->cp_list); the idr_remove() gate matters because
idr_alloc_cyclic() may have recycled the so_id by then. Keep
_free_cpntf_state_locked() for the reference-holder put path only, where a
concurrent revoke may already have unlinked the entry (its list_del_init()
then a no-op). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: mcp2221: stop device IO before hid_hw_stop
Quiesce device IO at the start of the devm cleanup callback
mcp2221_hid_unregister() so that incoming HID reports cannot race with
hardware teardown during probe failure or device removal, addressing a
potential use-after-free.
Guard the call to hid_device_io_stop() with io_started. On normal
removal hid_device_remove() has already cleared io_started before the
devres group is released, so an unconditional call would otherwise hit
the !io_started path and emit a spurious "io already stopped" warning
on every removal. The guard preserves the probe-failure balancing,
where io_started is still set after hid_device_io_start(), while
staying silent on the normal removal path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei()
eventfs_create_dir() allocates the eventfs_inode and initializes it with
init_ei(). But this does not initialize the eventfs_inode list_heads. If
the eventfs_create_dir() fails due to memory pressure, it will call
free_ei() before it initialized the lists, and that checks to make sure
the eventfs_inode has no children. But because the list wasn't
initialized, it will give a false warning.
Fix it by moving the list initialization into init_ei().

ecryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue
ecryptfs_exorcise_daemon() drops queued messages from a dying daemon
without holding ecryptfs_msg_ctx_lists_mux, but
ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free() requires that lock.
Take the list lock while moving the queued contexts back to the free
list to avoid racing with other global msg ctx list users. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
auxdisplay: charlcd: cancel backlight work on registration failure
With CONFIG_CHARLCD_BL_FLASH, charlcd_init() schedules bl_work before
charlcd_register() calls misc_register(). If registration fails, the
caller frees the charlcd object while delayed work still contains its
address.
Add charlcd_deinit() to cancel the delayed work and turn the backlight
off. Use it for both registration rollback and normal unregistration. |

Bytes 14-15 of 16 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 16 starts at ffff88800cbdb000
When processing the last unaligned element of the scatterlist, it is
supplemented with missing bytes in the amount of pad_len. These bytes
remain uninitialized, which leads to a problem.
Extend last_sg->length by pad_len first, then use sg_zero_buffer() to
zero those pad_len bytes. sg_zero_buffer() uses sg_miter internally,
which correctly handles sg entries spanning multiple pages and padding
that crosses a page boundary.

regulator: as3722_get_regulator_dt_data: fix premature of_node_put leaving dangling of_node pointer
In as3722_get_regulator_dt_data(), of_get_child_by_name() acquires a
reference on np, which is then assigned to pdev->dev.of_node. The
function immediately calls of_node_put(np), releasing the reference and
leaving pdev->dev.of_node as a dangling pointer.
Remove the of_node_put(np) call to let the device hold the reference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscall
sys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the "or1k" ABI) takes two user
pointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written
assembly.
l.lwz r29,0(r4)
l.lwz r27,0(r5)
l.sw 0(r4),r27
l.sw 0(r5),r29
The pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory
accesses also have no exception table entries.
A caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall
reads from and writes to it directly.
This gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It
overwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code
execution in kernel context.
Check both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups
for the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user
addresses return -EFAULT.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: pin next file across nlm_inspect_file lock-drop
nlm_traverse_files() pins the current file with f_count++ across
a mutex_unlock for nlm_inspect_file(), but nothing pins the saved
next pointer. A concurrent nlm_release_file() can kfree the next
file during the unlock window, and the iterator dereferences freed
memory on the next loop step.
Pin both current and next before the lock-drop. Advance by
swapping the pinned cursors at the end of each iteration so next
is always held alive across the unlock.
Always call nlm_file_release() after dropping the iteration pin,
regardless of whether the file matched the predicate. Use
nlm_file_inuse(), which does a live walk of the inode lock list,
rather than the cached f_locks field, so skipped files that never
ran nlm_inspect_file() are evaluated correctly.
Because every file in a hash bucket is now pinned and released,
files skipped by the is_failover_file predicate that have no
locks, blocks, shares, or external references are deleted during
traversal. The old code never evaluated skipped files for
cleanup. The new behavior is intentional: such files are stale
and should not persist in the table. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: bq256xx: drain usb_work before freeing the charger
The USB-PHY notifier queues usb_work, whose handler calls
power_supply_changed(bq->charger). The reset devm action only unregisters
the notifier and was registered before the power supplies, so devm frees
bq->charger on unwind before the action runs; a usb_work still queued can
then dereference it.
Register the reset action after the power supplies, so it unregisters
the notifiers and drains usb_work before the supplies are released.
Initialize usb_work and obtain the PHY references before registering
the notifiers, so the worker cannot run before the supplies exist.
Found by static analysis. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: lp8727: fix use-after-free in lp8727_release_irq()
lp8727_isr_func(), the threaded IRQ handler, is the only caller that arms
pchg->work via schedule_delayed_work(). lp8727_release_irq() currently
cancels the work before freeing the IRQ, so an IRQ delivered in between
can re-arm the work through the threaded handler. After .remove returns
the devm layer frees pchg while lp8727_delayed_func() may still run and
dereference it.
Free the IRQ first so the threaded handler is quiesced and can no longer
queue work, then cancel the delayed work to drain the final generation.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool. |
