commit 1ca0b605150501b7dc59f3016271da4eb3e96fce upstream.
One PID may appear multiple times in a preloaded pidlist.
(Possibly due to PID recycling but we have reports of the same
task_struct appearing with different PIDs, thus possibly involving
transfer of PID via de_thread().)
Because v1 seq_file iterator uses PIDs as position, it leads to
a message:
> seq_file: buggy .next function kernfs_seq_next did not update position index
Conservative and quick fix consists of removing duplicates from `tasks`
file (as opposed to removing pidlists altogether). It doesn't affect
correctness (it's sufficient to show a PID once), performance impact
would be hidden by unconditional sorting of the pidlist already in place
(asymptotically).

The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:

mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex)
cpuset_hotplug_workfn |
rebuild_root_domains | rebind_subsystems
update_tasks_root_domain | spin_lock_irq(&css_set_lock)

css_task_iter_end | spin_unlock_irq(&css_set_lock)
mutex_unlock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex)
Inside css_task_iter_start/next/end, css_set_lock is hold and then
released, so when iterating task(left side), the css_set may be moved to
another list(right side), then it->cset_head points to the old list head
and it->cset_pos->next points to the head node of new list, which can't
be used as struct css_set.
To fix this issue, switch from all css_sets to only scgrp's css_sets to
patch in-flight iterators to preserve correct iteration, and then
update it->cset_head as well.

commit ba9182a89626d5f83c2ee4594f55cb9c1e60f0e2 upstream.
After a successful cpuset_can_attach() call which increments the
attach_in_progress flag, either cpuset_cancel_attach() or cpuset_attach()
will be called later. In cpuset_attach(), tasks in cpuset_attach_wq,
if present, will be woken up at the end. That is not the case in
cpuset_cancel_attach(). So missed wakeup is possible if the attach
operation is somehow cancelled. Fix that by doing the wakeup in
cpuset_cancel_attach() as well.

commit 4a7ba45b1a435e7097ca0f79a847d0949d0eb088 upstream.
memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.
Prior to 347c4a874710 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file before further accesses. The cftype pointer returned from
__file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently dropped
the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through. With the
invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race against
renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause use-after-free's.
Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft(). Now that
cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file operations needs
to go through a layer of indirection. Instead, let's check the superblock
and dentry type.

commit 61e960b07b637f0295308ad91268501d744c21b5 upstream.
When mounting a cgroup hierarchy with disabled controller in cgroup v1,
all available controllers will be attached.
For example, boot with cgroup_no_v1=cpu or cgroup_disable=cpu, and then
mount with "mount -t cgroup -ocpu cpu /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu", then all
enabled controllers will be attached except cpu.
Fix this by adding disabled controller check in cgroup1_parse_param().
If the specified controller is disabled, just return error with information
"Disabled controller xx" rather than attaching all the other enabled
controllers.

[ Upstream commit 4f7e7236435ca0abe005c674ebd6892c6e83aeb3 ]
Bringing up a CPU may involve creating and destroying tasks which requires
read-locking threadgroup_rwsem, so threadgroup_rwsem nests inside
cpus_read_lock(). However, cpuset's ->attach(), which may be called with
thredagroup_rwsem write-locked, also wants to disable CPU hotplug and
acquires cpus_read_lock(), leading to a deadlock.
Fix it by guaranteeing that ->attach() is always called with CPU hotplug
disabled and removing cpus_read_lock() call from cpuset_attach().

empty subtree
[ Upstream commit 671c11f0619e5ccb380bcf0f062f69ba95fc974a ]
cgroup_update_dfl_csses() write-lock the threadgroup_rwsem as updating the
csses can trigger process migrations. However, if the subtree doesn't
contain any tasks, there aren't gonna be any cgroup migrations. This
condition can be trivially detected by testing whether
mgctx.preloaded_src_csets is empty. Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem if
the subtree is empty.
After this optimization, the usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling
the necessary controllers, and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP and
then removing the cgroup after it becomes empty doesn't need to write-lock
threadgroup_rwsem at all.

[ Upstream commit 9a3284fad42f66bb43629c6716709ff791aaa457 ]
There are reports of users who use thread migrations between cgroups and
they report performance drop after d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace
signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"). The effect is
pronounced on machines with more CPUs.
The migration is affected by forking noise happening in the background,
after the mentioned commit a migrating thread must wait for all
(forking) processes on the system, not only of its threadgroup.
There are several places that need to synchronize with migration:
a) do_exit,
b) de_thread,
c) copy_process,
d) cgroup_update_dfl_csses,
e) parallel migration (cgroup_{proc,thread}s_write).
In the case of self-migrating thread, we relax the synchronization on
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to avoid the cost of waiting. d) and e) are
excluded with cgroup_mutex, c) does not matter in case of single thread
migration and the executing thread cannot exec(2) or exit(2) while it is
writing into cgroup.threads. In case of do_exit because of signal
delivery, we either exit before the migration or finish the migration
(of not yet PF_EXITING thread) and die afterwards.
This patch handles only the case of self-migration by writing "0" into
cgroup.threads. For simplicity, we always take cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem
with numeric PIDs.
This change improves migration dependent workload performance similar
to per-signal_struct state.

commit 07fd5b6cdf3cc30bfde8fe0f644771688be04447 upstream.
Each cset (css_set) is pinned by its tasks. When we're moving tasks around
across csets for a migration, we need to hold the source and destination
csets to ensure that they don't go away while we're moving tasks about. This
is done by linking cset->mg_preload_node on either the
mgctx->preloaded_src_csets or mgctx->preloaded_dst_csets list. Using the
same cset->mg_preload_node for both the src and dst lists was deemed okay as
a cset can't be both the source and destination at the same time.
Unfortunately, this overloading becomes problematic when multiple tasks are
involved in a migration and some of them are identity noop migrations while
others are actually moving across cgroups. For example, this can happen with
the following sequence on cgroup1:
#1> mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b
#2> echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs
#3> RUN_A_COMMAND_WHICH_CREATES_MULTIPLE_THREADS &
#4> PID=$!
#5> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b/tasks
#6> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs
the process including the group leader back into a. In this final migration,
non-leader threads would be doing identity migration while the group leader
is doing an actual one.
After #3, let's say the whole process was in cset A, and that after #4, the
leader moves to cset B. Then, during #6, the following happens:
1. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on B for the leader.
2. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on A for the other threads.
3. cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called. It scans the src list.
4. It notices that B wants to migrate to A, so it tries to A to the dst
list but realizes that its ->mg_preload_node is already busy.
5. and then it notices A wants to migrate to A as it's an identity
migration, it culls it by list_del_init()'ing its ->mg_preload_node and
putting references accordingly.
6. The rest of migration takes place with B on the src list but nothing on
the dst list.
This means that A isn't held while migration is in progress. If all tasks
leave A before the migration finishes and the incoming task pins it, the
cset will be destroyed leading to use-after-free.
This is caused by overloading cset->mg_preload_node for both src and dst
preload lists. We wanted to exclude the cset from the src list but ended up
inadvertently excluding it from the dst list too.
This patch fixes the issue by separating out cset->mg_preload_node into
->mg_src_preload_node and ->mg_dst_preload_node, so that the src and dst
preloadings don't interfere with each other.

commit 2685027fca387b602ae565bff17895188b803988 upstream.
There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init()
2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind()
3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp()
The first cpuset_init() call just sets all the bits in the masks.
The second cpuset_bind() call sets cpus_allowed and mems_allowed to the
default v2 values. The third cpuset_init_smp() call sets them back to
v1 values.
For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once. As a
result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node
masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a
cgroup v2 environment.
For systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called again by
rebind_subsystem() when the v1 cpuset filesystem is mounted as shown
in the dmesg log below with an instrumented kernel.
[ 2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1
[ 3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called
[ 7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0
smp_init() is called after the first two init functions. So we don't
have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in
cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus
and effective_mems.
To fix this cgroup v2 mask setup problem, the potentially incorrect
cpus_allowed & mems_allowed setting in cpuset_init_smp() are removed.
For cgroup v2 systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set the masks
correctly. For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind()
will do the right setup.

commit e57457641613fef0d147ede8bd6a3047df588b95 upstream.
cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as
whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of
the write - the PID. This currently uses current's cgroup namespace which is
a potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less
privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that
it created.
This patch makes cgroup remember the cgroup namespace at the time of open
and uses it for migration permission checks instad of current's. Note that
this only applies to cgroup2 as cgroup1 doesn't have namespace support.
This also fixes a use-after-free bug on cgroupns reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000048c15c05d0083397@google.com
Note that backporting this fix also requires the preceding patch.

commit 0d2b5955b36250a9428c832664f2079cbf723bec upstream.
of->priv is currently used by each interface file implementation to store
private information. This patch collects the current two private data usages
into struct cgroup_file_ctx which is allocated and freed by the common path.
This allows generic private data which applies to multiple files, which will
be used to in the following patch.
Note that cgroup_procs iterator is now embedded as procs.iter in the new
cgroup_file_ctx so that it doesn't need to be allocated and freed
separately.
v2: union dropped from cgroup_file_ctx and the procs iterator is embedded in
cgroup_file_ctx as suggested by Linus.
v3: Michal pointed out that cgroup1's procs pidlist uses of->priv too.
Converted. Didn't change to embedded allocation as cgroup1 pidlists get
stored for caching.

commit 2bdfd2825c9662463371e6691b1a794e97fa36b4 upstream.
It was found that a "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning was issued
with the rcu_read_lock() call in update_sibling_cpumasks(). It is
because the update_cpumasks_hier() function may sleep. So we have
to release the RCU lock, call update_cpumasks_hier() and reacquire
it afterward.

commit a06247c6804f1a7c86a2e5398a4c1f1db1471848 upstream.
With write operation on psi files replacing old trigger with a new one,
the lifetime of its waitqueue is totally arbitrary. Overwriting an
existing trigger causes its waitqueue to be freed and pending poll()
will stumble on trigger->event_wait which was destroyed.
Fix this by disallowing to redefine an existing psi trigger. If a write
operation is used on a file descriptor with an already existing psi
trigger, the operation will fail with EBUSY error.
Also bypass a check for psi_disabled in the psi_trigger_destroy as the
flag can be flipped after the trigger is created, leading to a memory
leak.

It was caused by the fact that rebind_subsystem() disables
controllers to be rebound one by one. If more than one disabled
controllers are originally from the default hierarchy, it means that
cgroup_apply_control_disable() will be called multiple times for the
same default hierarchy. A controller may be killed by css_kill() in
the first round. In the second round, the killed controller may not be
completely dead yet leading to the warning.
To avoid this problem, we collect all the ssid's of controllers that
needed to be disabled from the default hierarchy and then disable them
in one go instead of one by one.

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

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-48-gd9c812dda519-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014

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(&cgroup_fs_type, fc->sb_flags, root,
- CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
[...]
- if (percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
- struct super_block *sb = dentry->d_sb;
- dput(dentry);
+ ret = cgroup_do_mount(fc, CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
+ if (!ret && percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
+ struct super_block *sb = fc->root->d_sb;
+ dput(fc->root);
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
msleep(10);
return restart_syscall();
}
--------------
In changing from the local "*dentry" variable to using fc->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->root as follows:
--------------
dput(fc->root);
+ fc->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.

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->type member. Since the cgroup paramter parser
didn't check param->type but unconditionally moved param->string into
fc->source a close on the fscontext_fd would trigger a UAF during
put_fs_context() which frees fc->source thereby freeing the file stashed
in param->file causing a UAF during a close of the fd_null.
Fix this by verifying that param->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.

[ 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.

cgroup. PSI files for root cgroup was introduced in df5ba5be742 by using
system wide psi struct when reading, but file write/monitor was not

initialized, the current implementation tries to lock a NULL ptr,
resulting in a crash.

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 > cg1/cpuset.cpus
echo root > cg1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# with smt/control reading 'on',
echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
RIP maps to
sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id);
from sd_init(). sd_id is calculated earlier in the same function:
cpumask_and(sched_domain_span(sd), cpu_map, tl->mask(cpu));
sd_id = cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd));
tl->mask(cpu), which reads cpu_sibling_map on x86, returns an empty mask
and so cpumask_first() returns >= 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.

[ 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->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->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.

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.

[ Upstream commit 2e5383d7904e60529136727e49629a82058a5607 ]
Older (and maybe current) versions of systemd set release_agent to "" when
shutting down, but do not set notify_on_release to 0.
Since 64e90a8acb85 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()"), we filter out such calls when the user mode helper
path is "". However, when used in conjunction with an actual (i.e. non "")
STATIC_USERMODEHELPER, the path |
