[ Upstream commit 15d428e6fe77fffc3f4fff923336036f5496ef17 ]

In cpuset_hotplug_workfn(), the detection of whether the cpu list
has been changed is done by comparing the effective cpus of the top
cpuset with the cpu_active_mask. However, in the rare case that just
all the CPUs in the subparts_cpus are offlined, the detection fails
and the partition states are not updated correctly. Fix it by forcing
the cpus_updated flag to true in this particular case.

commit 1e7107c5ef44431bc1ebbd4c353f1d7c22e5f2ec upstream.

Richard reported sporadic (roughly one in 10 or so) null dereferences and
other strange behaviour for a set of automated LTP tests.  Things like:

   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
   #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
   #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
   PGD 0 P4D 0
   Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
   CPU: 0 PID: 1516 Comm: umount Not tainted 5.10.0-yocto-standard #1
   Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-48-gd9c812dda519-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014
   RIP: 0010:kernfs_sop_show_path+0x1b/0x60

...or these others:

   RIP: 0010:do_mkdirat+0x6a/0xf0
   RIP: 0010:d_alloc_parallel+0x98/0x510
   RIP: 0010:do_readlinkat+0x86/0x120

There were other less common instances of some kind of a general scribble
but the common theme was mount and cgroup and a dubious dentry triggering
the NULL dereference.  I was only able to reproduce it under qemu by
replicating Richard's setup as closely as possible - I never did get it
to happen on bare metal, even while keeping everything else the same.

In commit 71d883c37e8d ("cgroup_do_mount(): massage calling conventions")
we see this as a part of the overall change:

   --------------
           struct cgroup_subsys *ss;
   -       struct dentry *dentry;

   [...]

   -       dentry = cgroup_do_mount(&amp;cgroup_fs_type, fc-&gt;sb_flags, root,
   -                                CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);

   [...]

   -       if (percpu_ref_is_dying(&amp;root-&gt;cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
   -               struct super_block *sb = dentry-&gt;d_sb;
   -               dput(dentry);
   +       ret = cgroup_do_mount(fc, CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
   +       if (!ret &amp;&amp; percpu_ref_is_dying(&amp;root-&gt;cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
   +               struct super_block *sb = fc-&gt;root-&gt;d_sb;
   +               dput(fc-&gt;root);
                   deactivate_locked_super(sb);
                   msleep(10);
                   return restart_syscall();
           }
   --------------

In changing from the local "*dentry" variable to using fc-&gt;root, we now
export/leave that dentry pointer in the file context after doing the dput()
in the unlikely "is_dying" case.   With LTP doing a crazy amount of back to
back mount/unmount [testcases/bin/cgroup_regression_5_1.sh] the unlikely
becomes slightly likely and then bad things happen.

A fix would be to not leave the stale reference in fc-&gt;root as follows:

   --------------
                  dput(fc-&gt;root);
  +               fc-&gt;root = NULL;
                  deactivate_locked_super(sb);
   --------------

...but then we are just open-coding a duplicate of fc_drop_locked() so we
simply use that instead.

<title>cgroup: verify that source is a string</title>

commit 3b0462726e7ef281c35a7a4ae33e93ee2bc9975b upstream.

The following sequence can be used to trigger a UAF:

    int fscontext_fd = fsopen("cgroup");
    int fd_null = open("/dev/null, O_RDONLY);
    int fsconfig(fscontext_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "source", fd_null);
    close_range(3, ~0U, 0);

The cgroup v1 specific fs parser expects a string for the "source"
parameter.  However, it is perfectly legitimate to e.g.  specify a file
descriptor for the "source" parameter.  The fs parser doesn't know what
a filesystem allows there.  So it's a bug to assume that "source" is
always of type fs_value_is_string when it can reasonably also be
fs_value_is_file.

This assumption in the cgroup code causes a UAF because struct
fs_parameter uses a union for the actual value.  Access to that union is
guarded by the param-&gt;type member.  Since the cgroup paramter parser
didn't check param-&gt;type but unconditionally moved param-&gt;string into
fc-&gt;source a close on the fscontext_fd would trigger a UAF during
put_fs_context() which frees fc-&gt;source thereby freeing the file stashed
in param-&gt;file causing a UAF during a close of the fd_null.

Fix this by verifying that param-&gt;type is actually a string and report
an error if not.

In follow up patches I'll add a new generic helper that can be used here
and by other filesystems instead of this error-prone copy-pasta fix.
But fixing it in here first makes backporting a it to stable a lot
easier.

commit b7e24eb1caa5f8da20d405d262dba67943aedc42 upstream.

cgroup_mkdir() have restriction on newline usage in names:
$ mkdir $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2'
mkdir: cannot create directory
'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2': Invalid argument

But in cgroup1_rename() such check is missed.
This allows us to make /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cgroup unparsable:
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
$ mv /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2'

[ Upstream commit 45e1ba40837ac2f6f4d4716bddb8d44bd7e4a251 ]

This patch effectively reverts the commit a3e72739b7a7 ("cgroup: fix
too early usage of static_branch_disable()"). The commit 6041186a3258
("init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing") has
moved the jump_label_init() before parse_args() which has made the
commit a3e72739b7a7 unnecessary. On the other hand there are
consequences of disabling the controllers later as there are subsystems
doing the controller checks for different decisions. One such incident
is reported [1] regarding the memory controller and its impact on memory
reclaim code.

commit 385aac1519417b89cb91b77c22e4ca21db563cd0 upstream.

Fix NULL pointer dereference when adding new psi monitor to the root
cgroup. PSI files for root cgroup was introduced in df5ba5be742 by using
system wide psi struct when reading, but file write/monitor was not
properly fixed. Since the PSI config for the root cgroup isn't
initialized, the current implementation tries to lock a NULL ptr,
resulting in a crash.

Can be triggered by running this as root:
$ tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.pressure &lt;&lt;&lt; "some 10000 1000000"

commit 2d18e54dd8662442ef5898c6bdadeaf90b3cebbc upstream.

A memory leak is found in cgroup1_parse_param() when multiple source
parameters overwrite fc-&gt;source in the fs_context struct without free.

unreferenced object 0xffff888100d930e0 (size 16):
  comm "mount", pid 520, jiffies 4303326831 (age 152.783s)

Fix this bug by permitting a single source parameter and rejecting with
an error all subsequent ones.

<title>cpuset: fix race between hotplug work and later CPU offline</title>

commit 406100f3da08066c00105165db8520bbc7694a36 upstream.

One of our machines keeled over trying to rebuild the scheduler domains.
Mainline produces the same splat:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000607f820054db
  CPU: 2 PID: 149 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 5.10.0-rc1-master+ #6
  Workqueue: events cpuset_hotplug_workfn
  RIP: build_sched_domains
  Call Trace:
   partition_sched_domains_locked
   rebuild_sched_domains_locked
   cpuset_hotplug_workfn

It happens with cgroup2 and exclusive cpusets only.  This reproducer
triggers it on an 8-cpu vm and works most effectively with no
preexisting child cgroups:

  cd $UNIFIED_ROOT
  mkdir cg1
  echo 4-7 &gt; cg1/cpuset.cpus
  echo root &gt; cg1/cpuset.cpus.partition

  # with smt/control reading 'on',
  echo off &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control

RIP maps to

  sd-&gt;shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd-&gt;sds, sd_id);

from sd_init().  sd_id is calculated earlier in the same function:

  cpumask_and(sched_domain_span(sd), cpu_map, tl-&gt;mask(cpu));
  sd_id = cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd));

tl-&gt;mask(cpu), which reads cpu_sibling_map on x86, returns an empty mask
and so cpumask_first() returns &gt;= nr_cpu_ids, which leads to the bogus
value from per_cpu_ptr() above.

The problem is a race between cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and a later
offline of CPU N.  cpuset_hotplug_workfn() updates the effective masks
when N is still online, the offline clears N from cpu_sibling_map, and
then the worker uses the stale effective masks that still have N to
generate the scheduling domains, leading the worker to read
N's empty cpu_sibling_map in sd_init().

rebuild_sched_domains_locked() prevented the race during the cgroup2
cpuset series up until the Fixes commit changed its check.  Make the
check more robust so that it can detect an offline CPU in any exclusive
cpuset's effective mask, not just the top one.

<title>cgroup: fix cgroup_sk_alloc() for sk_clone_lock()</title>

[ Upstream commit ad0f75e5f57ccbceec13274e1e242f2b5a6397ed ]

When we clone a socket in sk_clone_lock(), its sk_cgrp_data is
copied, so the cgroup refcnt must be taken too. And, unlike the
sk_alloc() path, sock_update_netprioidx() is not called here.
Therefore, it is safe and necessary to grab the cgroup refcnt
even when cgroup_sk_alloc is disabled.

sk_clone_lock() is in BH context anyway, the in_interrupt()
would terminate this function if called there. And for sk_alloc()
skcd-&gt;val is always zero. So it's safe to factor out the code
to make it more readable.

The global variable 'cgroup_sk_alloc_disabled' is used to determine
whether to take these reference counts. It is impossible to make
the reference counting correct unless we save this bit of information
in skcd-&gt;val. So, add a new bit there to record whether the socket
has already taken the reference counts. This obviously relies on
kmalloc() to align cgroup pointers to at least 4 bytes,
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is certainly larger than that.

This bug seems to be introduced since the beginning, commit
d979a39d7242 ("cgroup: duplicate cgroup reference when cloning sockets")
tried to fix it but not compeletely. It seems not easy to trigger until
the recent commit 090e28b229af
("netprio_cgroup: Fix unlimited memory leak of v2 cgroups") was merged.

[ Upstream commit d8ef4b38cb69d907f9b0e889c44d05fc0f890977 ]

This reverts commit 9a9e97b2f1f2 ("cgroup: Add memory barriers to plug
cgroup_rstat_updated() race window").

The commit was added in anticipation of memcg rstat conversion which needed
synchronous accounting for the event counters (e.g. oom kill count). However,
the conversion didn't get merged due to percpu memory overhead concern which
couldn't be addressed at the time.

Unfortunately, the patch's addition of smp_mb() to cgroup_rstat_updated()
meant that every scheduling event now had to go through an additional full
barrier and Mel Gorman noticed it as 1% regression in netperf UDP_STREAM test.

There's no need to have this barrier in tree now and even if we need
synchronous accounting in the future, the right thing to do is separating that
out to a separate function so that hot paths which don't care about
synchronous behavior don't have to pay the overhead of the full barrier. Let's
revert.
