We found a UAF bug in remove_wait_queue as follows:

==================================================================

If using epoll(), wake_up_pollfree will empty waitqueue and set
wait_queue_head is NULL before free waitqueue of psi trigger. But is
doesn't work when using poll(), which will lead a UAF problem in
poll_freewait coms as following:

(cgroup_rmdir) |
psi_trigger_destroy |
wake_up_pollfree(&t->event_wait) |
synchronize_rcu(); |
kfree(t) |
| (poll_freewait)
| free_poll_entry(pwq->inline_entries + i)
| remove_wait_queue(entry->wait_address)
| spin_lock_irqsave(&wq_head->lock)

entry->wait_address in poll_freewait() is t->event_wait in cgroup_rmdir().
t->event_wait is free in psi_trigger_destroy before call poll_freewait(),
therefore wq_head in poll_freewait() has been already freed, which would
lead to a UAF.

similar problem for epoll() has been fixed commit c2dbe32d5db5
("sched/psi: Fix use-after-free in ep_remove_wait_queue()").
epoll wakeup function ep_poll_callback() will empty waitqueue and set
wait_queue_head is NULL when pollflags is POLLFREE and judge pwq->whead
is NULL or not before remove_wait_queue in ep_remove_wait_queue(),
which will fix the UAF bug in ep_remove_wait_queue.

But poll wakeup function pollwake() doesn't do that. To fix the
problem, we empty waitqueue and set wait_address is NULL in pollwake() when
key is POLLFREE. otherwise in remove_wait_queue, which is similar to
epoll().
