bdi_split_work_to_wbs() traverses &bdi->wb_list to split work into all
wbs. If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be
used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards.
If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference
count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or
wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above.
This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both
sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via
sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize
sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the
possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see
fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from
inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io,
thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and the issue becomes easily reproducible again.
To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to
avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already
been shutdown.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() traverses &bdi->wb_list to split work into all
wbs. If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be
used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards.
If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference
count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or
wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above.
This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both
sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via
sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize
sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the
possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see
fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from
inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io,
thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and the issue becomes easily reproducible again.
To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to
avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already
been shutdown.

Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix and improve control flow in
__sys_setres[ug]id()
Linux Security Modules (LSMs) that implement the "capable" hook will
usually emit an access denial message to the audit log whenever they
"block" the current task from using the given capability based on their
security policy.
The occurrence of a denial is used as an indication that the given task
has attempted an operation that requires the given access permission, so
the callers of functions that perform LSM permission checks must take care
to avoid calling them too early (before it is decided if the permission is
actually needed to perform the requested operation).
The __sys_setres[ug]id() functions violate this convention by first
calling ns_capable_setid() and only then checking if the operation
requires the capability or not. It means that any caller that has the
capability granted by DAC (task's capability set) but not by MAC (LSMs)
will generate a "denied" audit record, even if is doing an operation for
which the capability is not required.
Fix this by reordering the checks such that ns_capable_setid() is checked
last and -EPERM is returned immediately if it returns false.
While there, also do two small optimizations:
* move the capability check before prepare_creds() and
* bail out early in case of a no-op.

Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix and improve control flow in
__sys_setres[ug]id()
Linux Security Modules (LSMs) that implement the "capable" hook will
usually emit an access denial message to the audit log whenever they
"block" the current task from using the given capability based on their
security policy.
The occurrence of a denial is used as an indication that the given task
has attempted an operation that requires the given access permission, so
the callers of functions that perform LSM permission checks must take care
to avoid calling them too early (before it is decided if the permission is
actually needed to perform the requested operation).
The __sys_setres[ug]id() functions violate this convention by first
calling ns_capable_setid() and only then checking if the operation
requires the capability or not. It means that any caller that has the
capability granted by DAC (task's capability set) but not by MAC (LSMs)
will generate a "denied" audit record, even if is doing an operation for
which the capability is not required.
Fix this by reordering the checks such that ns_capable_setid() is checked
last and -EPERM is returned immediately if it returns false.
While there, also do two small optimizations:
* move the capability check before prepare_creds() and
* bail out early in case of a no-op.
