[ +0.000008] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 7620 at kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:374 cleanup_srcu_struct+0xed/0x100
There are two functions that drain encl->mm_list:
- sgx_release() (i.e. VFS release) removes the remaining mm_list entries. - sgx_mmu_notifier_release() removes mm_list entry for the registered process, if it still exists.
If encl->refcount is taken only for VFS, this can lead to sgx_encl_release() being executed before sgx_mmu_notifier_release() completes, which is exactly what happens in the above klog entry.
Each process also needs its own enclave reference.
In order to fix the race condition, increase encl->refcount when an entry to encl->mm_list added for a process. Release this reference when the mm_list entry is cleaned up, either in sgx_mmu_notifier_release() or sgx_release().
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 1728ab54b4be ("x86/sgx: Add a page reclaimer") Reported-by: Haitao Huang haitao.huang@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen jarkko@kernel.org --- v6: - Maintain refcount for each encl->mm_list entry. v5: - To make sure that the instance does not get deleted use kref_get() kref_put(). This also removes the need for additional synchronize_srcu(). v4: - Rewrite the commit message. - Just change the call order. *_expedited() is out of scope for this bug fix. v3: Fine-tuned tags, and added missing change log for v2. v2: Switch to synchronize_srcu_expedited(). arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/driver.c | 6 ++++++ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/encl.c | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+)
