mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.5-rc1 commit e5e9b9cb71a09d86d5e8d147e6a6457e1f8887b5 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8OPEK CVE: NA
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
md_wakeup_thread() can't wakeup md_thread->tsk if md_thread->run is still in progress, and in some cases md_thread->tsk need to be woke up directly, like md_set_readonly() and do_md_stop().
Commit 9dfbdafda3b3 ("md: unlock mddev before reap sync_thread in action_store") introduce a new scenario where unregister sync_thread is not protected by 'reconfig_mutex', this can cause null-ptr-deference in theroy:
t1: md_set_readonly t2: action_store md_unregister_thread // 'reconfig_mutex' is not held // 'reconfig_mutex' is held by caller if (mddev->sync_thread) thread = *threadp *threadp = NULL wake_up_process(mddev->sync_thread->tsk) // null-ptr-deference
Fix this problem by factoring out a helper to wake up md_thread directly, so that 'sync_thread' won't be accessed multiple times from the reader side. This helper also prepare to protect md_thread with rcu.
Noted that later patches is going to fix that unregister sync_thread is not protected by 'reconfig_mutex' from action_store().
