This\ntypically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task,\nor under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In\nsuch cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups.\n\nFix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the\nthread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero.\n\nAccordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and\nwake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero.\n\nThis uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat\nstruct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test()\nprovides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/tipc/core.c", "net/tipc/udp_media.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "04c26faa51d1e2fe71cf13c45791f5174c37f986", "lessThan": "7672973957e3e20780afe5937a9fec70b72bc060", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "04c26faa51d1e2fe71cf13c45791f5174c37f986", "lessThan": "522d1d950b9e3b68190a6de7534827c8dccedb73", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "04c26faa51d1e2fe71cf13c45791f5174c37f986", "lessThan": "c1481c94e74c955e0448ddf46b8615a44d840c1e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "d1f76dfadaf8f47ed1753f97dbcbd41c16215ffa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5195ec5e365a2a9331bfeb585b613a6e94f98dba", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "b9f5b7ad4ac3af006443f535b1ce7bff1d130d7d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5.4.124", "lessThan": "5.5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.42", "lessThan": "5.11", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.12.9", "lessThan": "5.13", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/tipc/core.c", "net/tipc/udp_media.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.4.124" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.10.42" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.12.9" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7672973957e3e20780afe5937a9fec70b72bc060" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/522d1d950b9e3b68190a6de7534827c8dccedb73" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c1481c94e74c955e0448ddf46b8615a44d840c1e" } ], "title": "tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
