If the allocation\nresults in reclaim, we may attempt to hold the per-CPU acomp_ctx mutex.\n\nThe above dependencies can cause an ABBA deadlock. For example in the\nfollowing scenario:\n\n(1) Task A running on CPU #1:\n crypto_alloc_acomp_node()\n Holds scomp_lock\n Enters reclaim\n Reads per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1)\n\n(2) Task A is descheduled\n\n(3) CPU #1 goes offline\n zswap_cpu_comp_dead(CPU #1)\n Holds per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1))\n Calls crypto_free_acomp()\n Waits for scomp_lock\n\n(4) Task A running on CPU #2:\n Waits for per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1) // Read on CPU #1\n DEADLOCK\n\nSince there is no requirement to call crypto_free_acomp() with the per-CPU\nacomp_ctx mutex held in zswap_cpu_comp_dead(), move it after the mutex is\nunlocked. Also move the acomp_request_free() and kfree() calls for\nconsistency and to avoid any potential sublte locking dependencies in the\nfuture.\n\nWith this, only setting acomp_ctx fields to NULL occurs with the mutex\nheld. This is similar to how zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() only initializes\nacomp_ctx fields with the mutex held, after performing all allocations\nbefore holding the mutex.\n\nOpportunistically, move the NULL check on acomp_ctx so that it takes place\nbefore the mutex dereference." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "mm/zswap.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "8d29ff5d50304daa41dc3cfdda4a9d1e46cf5be1", "lessThan": "747e3eec1d7d124ea90ed3d7b85369df8b4e36d2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "12dcb0ef540629a281533f9dedc1b6b8e14cfb65", "lessThan": "a8d18000e9d2d97aaf105f5f9b3b0e8a6fbf8b96", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "12dcb0ef540629a281533f9dedc1b6b8e14cfb65", "lessThan": "717d9c35deff6c33235693171bacbb03e9643fa4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "12dcb0ef540629a281533f9dedc1b6b8e14cfb65", "lessThan": "c11bcbc0a517acf69282c8225059b2a8ac5fe628", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.12.12", "lessThan": "6.12.23", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "mm/zswap.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.23", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.13.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.14.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.23" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/747e3eec1d7d124ea90ed3d7b85369df8b4e36d2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a8d18000e9d2d97aaf105f5f9b3b0e8a6fbf8b96" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/717d9c35deff6c33235693171bacbb03e9643fa4" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c11bcbc0a517acf69282c8225059b2a8ac5fe628" } ], "title": "mm: zswap: fix crypto_free_acomp() deadlock in zswap_cpu_comp_dead()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
