From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.4-rc1 commit 3d32aaa7e66d5c1479a3c31d6c2c5d45dd0d3b89 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I6YQZS CVE: CVE-2023-2269 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id... ---------------------------------------- syzkaller found the following problematic rwsem locking (with write lock already held): down_read+0x9d/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1509 dm_get_inactive_table+0x2b/0xc0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:773 __dev_status+0x4fd/0x7c0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:844 table_clear+0x197/0x280 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:1537 In table_clear, it first acquires a write lock https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520 down_write(&_hash_lock); Then before the lock is released at L1539, there is a path shown above: table_clear -> __dev_status -> dm_get_inactive_table -> down_read https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773 down_read(&_hash_lock); It tries to acquire the same read lock again, resulting in the deadlock problem. Fix this by moving table_clear()'s __dev_status() call to after its up_write(&_hash_lock); Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Zheng Zhang <zheng.zhang@email.ucr.edu> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org> Conflicts: drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c Signed-off-by: Li Lingfeng <lilingfeng3@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Yongqiang Liu <liuyongqiang13@huawei.com> --- drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c b/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c index 7ec02676bcad..c8c27d23bb45 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c @@ -1410,11 +1410,12 @@ static int table_clear(struct file *filp, struct dm_ioctl *param, size_t param_s hc->new_map = NULL; } - param->flags &= ~DM_INACTIVE_PRESENT_FLAG; - - __dev_status(hc->md, param); md = hc->md; up_write(&_hash_lock); + + param->flags &= ~DM_INACTIVE_PRESENT_FLAG; + __dev_status(md, param); + if (old_map) { dm_sync_table(md); dm_table_destroy(old_map); -- 2.25.1
