Subject: CVE-2024-44959: tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing
With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to
avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members,
e.g. i_lru or i_sb_list to not corrupt related list traversals when making
use of the rcu_head.
For an unlucky structure layout of 'struct inode' we may end up with the
following splat when running the ftrace selftests:
[<...>] list_del corruption, ffff888103ee2cb0->next (tracefs_inode_cache+0x0/0x4e0 [slab object]) is NULL (prev is tracefs_inode_cache+0x78/0x4e0 [slab object])

The list debug message as well as RBX's symbolic value point out that the
object in question was allocated from 'tracefs_inode_cache' and that the
list's '->next' member is at offset 0. Dumping the layout of the relevant
parts of 'struct tracefs_inode' gives the following:
struct tracefs_inode {
union {
struct inode {
struct list_head {
struct list_head * next; /* 0 8 */
struct list_head * prev; /* 8 8 */
} i_lru;
[...]
} vfs_inode;
struct callback_head {
void (*func)(struct callback_head *); /* 0 8 */
struct callback_head * next; /* 8 8 */
} rcu;
};
[...]
};
Above shows that 'vfs_inode.i_lru' overlaps with 'rcu' which will
destroy the 'i_lru' list as soon as the 'rcu' member gets used, e.g. in
call_rcu() or later when calling the RCU callback. This will disturb
concurrent list traversals as well as object reuse which assumes these
list heads will keep their integrity.
For reproduction, the following diff manually overlays 'i_lru' with
'rcu' as, otherwise, one would require some good portion of luck for
gambling an unlucky RANDSTRUCT seed:

The tracefs inode does not need to supply its own RCU delayed destruction
of its inode. The inode code itself offers both a "destroy_inode()"
callback that gets called when the last reference of the inode is
released, and the "free_inode()" which is called after a RCU
synchronization period from the "destroy_inode()".
The tracefs code can unlink the inode from its list in the destroy_inode()
callback, and the simply free it from the free_inode() callback. This
should provide the same protection.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
