commit c2dbe32d5db5c4ead121cf86dabd5ab691fb47fe upstream.
If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling waitqueue gets freed in the following path:
do_rmdir cgroup_rmdir kernfs_drain_open_files cgroup_file_release cgroup_pressure_release psi_trigger_destroy
However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit:
fput ep_eventpoll_release ep_free ep_remove_wait_queue remove_wait_queue
This results in use-after-free as pasted below.
The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime. Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line with the comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()") since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more justifiable if we identify more cases like this.
