From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.142 commit eef4f71b46a9929ac33e968538c9dd5d96a02460 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/16476 CVE: CVE-2026-64073 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 91840be8f710370607f949a627e070896faeddb8 ] On PREEMPT_RT, non-HARD irq_work runs in per-CPU kthreads via run_irq_workd(), so irq_work_sync() uses rcuwait() to wait for BUSY==0. After irq_work_single() clears BUSY via atomic_cmpxchg(), it still dereferences @work for irq_work_is_hard() and rcuwait_wake_up(). An irq_work_sync() caller on another CPU that enters after BUSY is cleared can observe BUSY==0 immediately, return, and free the work before those accesses complete — causing a use-after-free. Fix this by wrapping run_irq_workd() in guard(rcu)() so that the entire irq_work_single() execution is within an RCU read-side critical section. Then add synchronize_rcu() in irq_work_sync() after rcuwait_wait_event() to ensure the caller waits for the RCU grace period before returning, preventing premature frees. Fixes: 810979682ccc ("irq_work: Allow irq_work_sync() to sleep if irq_work() no IRQ support.")
