commit b8511ccc75c033f6d54188ea4df7bf1e85778740 upstream.

A resource group (rdtgrp) contains a reference count (rdtgrp->waitcount) that indicates how many waiters expect this rdtgrp to exist. Waiters could be waiting on rdtgroup_mutex or some work sitting on a task's workqueue for when the task returns from kernel mode or exits.

The deletion of a rdtgrp is intended to have two phases:

(1) while holding rdtgroup_mutex the necessary cleanup is done and rdtgrp->flags is set to RDT_DELETED,

(2) after releasing the rdtgroup_mutex, the rdtgrp structure is freed only if there are no waiters and its flag is set to RDT_DELETED. Upon gaining access to rdtgroup_mutex or rdtgrp, a waiter is required to check for the RDT_DELETED flag.

When unmounting the resctrl file system or deleting ctrl_mon groups, all of the subdirectories are removed and the data structure of rdtgrp is forcibly freed without checking rdtgrp->waitcount. If at this point there was a waiter on rdtgrp then a use-after-free issue occurs when the waiter starts running and accesses the rdtgrp structure it was waiting on.

See kfree() calls in [1], [2] and [3] in these two call paths in following scenarios: (1) rdt_kill_sb() -> rmdir_all_sub() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp() (2) rdtgroup_rmdir() -> rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp()

There are several scenarios that result in use-after-free issue in following:

Scenario 1: ----------- In Thread 1, rdtgroup_tasks_write() adds a task_work callback move_myself(). If move_myself() is scheduled to execute after Thread 2 rdt_kill_sb() is finished, referring to earlier rdtgrp memory (rdtgrp->waitcount) which was already freed in Thread 2 results in use-after-free issue.

Scenario 2: ----------- In Thread 1, rdtgroup_tasks_write() adds a task_work callback move_myself(). If move_myself() is scheduled to execute after Thread 2 rdtgroup_rmdir() is finished, referring to earlier rdtgrp memory (rdtgrp->waitcount) which was already freed in Thread 2 results in use-after-free issue.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, Slab corruption on kmalloc-2k can be observed like following. Note that "0x6b" is POISON_FREE after kfree(). The corrupted bits "0x6a", "0x64" at offset 0x424 correspond to waitcount member of struct rdtgroup which was freed:

Fix this by taking reference count (waitcount) of rdtgrp into account in the two call paths that currently do not do so. Instead of always freeing the resource group it will only be freed if there are no waiters on it. If there are waiters, the resource group will have its flags set to RDT_DELETED.

It will be left to the waiter to free the resource group when it starts running and finding that it was the last waiter and the resource group has been removed (rdtgrp->flags & RDT_DELETED) since. (1) rdt_kill_sb() -> rmdir_all_sub() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp() (2) rdtgroup_rmdir() -> rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() -> free_all_child_rdtgrp()

Backporting notes:

Since upstream commit fa7d949337cc ("x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt files to a separate directory"), the file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c has been renamed and moved to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c.

Apply the change against file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c in older stable trees.
