[PATCH] xfs: fix use-after-free on CIL context on shutdown

From: Dave Chinner
Date: Wed Jun 10 2020 - 22:45:14 EST



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

xlog_wait() on the CIL context can reference a freed context if the
waiter doesn't get scheduled before the CIL context is freed. This
can happen when a task is on the hard throttle and the CIL push
aborts due to a shutdown. This was detected by generic/019:

thread 1 thread 2

__xfs_trans_commit
xfs_log_commit_cil
<CIL size over hard throttle limit>
xlog_wait
schedule
xlog_cil_push_work
wake_up_all
<shutdown aborts commit>
xlog_cil_committed
kmem_free

remove_wait_queue
spin_lock_irqsave --> UAF

Fix it by moving the wait queue to the CIL rather than keeping it in
in the CIL context that gets freed on push completion. Because the
wait queue is now independent of the CIL context and we might have
multiple contexts in flight at once, only wake the waiters on the
push throttle when the context we are pushing is over the hard
throttle size threshold.
