Hi Suren:

kernel config:
x86_64_defconfig
CONFIG_PSI=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y
CONFIG_KASAN=y
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y

I make some change in code, in order to increase the recurrence probability.

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.

Hi Lu,
Could you please share your reproducer along with the kernel config
you used? I'm trying to reproduce this UAF but every time I delete the
cgroup being polled, poll() simply returns POLLERR.
Thanks,
Suren.


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().

I don't understand why this patch is needed.

The last time I looked at POLLFREE, it is only needed because of asynchronous
polls. See my explanation in the commit message of commit 50252e4b5e989ce6.

Ah, I missed that. Thanks for the correction.


In summary, POLLFREE solves the problem of polled waitqueues whose lifetime is
tied to the current task rather than to the file being polled. Also refer to
the comment above wake_up_pollfree(), which mentions this.

fs/select.c is synchronous polling, not asynchronous. Therefore, it should not
need to handle POLLFREE.

If there's actually a bug here, most likely it's a bug in psi_trigger_poll()
where it is using a waitqueue whose lifetime is tied to neither the current task
nor the file being polled. That needs to be fixed.

Yeah. We discussed this issue in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJuCfpFb0J5ZwO6kncjRG0_4jQLXUy-_dicpH5uGiWP8aKYEJQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and the root cause is that cgroup_file_release() where
psi_trigger_destroy() is called is not tied to the cgroup file's real
lifetime (see my analysis here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAJuCfpFZ3B4530TgsSHqp5F_gwfrDujwRYewKReJru==MdEHQg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t).
I guess it's time to do a deeper surgery and figure out a way to call
psi_trigger_destroy() when the polled cgroup file is actually being
destroyed. I'll take a closer look into this later today.
A fix will likely require some cgroup or kernfs code changes, so
CC'ing Tejun for visibility.
Thanks,
Suren.
