Subject: [PATCH v2] futex: fix a race condition between REQUEUE_PI and task death
free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's.
exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of
free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi didn't, which means free_pi_state can
free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. For example:
task A | task B
exit_pi_state_list |
pi_state = |
curr->pi_state_list->next |
| futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1)
| // pi_state is the same as
| // the one in task A
| free_pi_state(pi_state)
| list_del_init(&pi_state->list)
| kfree(pi_state)
list_del_init(&pi_state->list) |
Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb
locks which it's already holding.
I have test code that forks a bunch of processes, which all fork more
processes that do futex(FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI), then do
futex(FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI) before killing the waiting processes. That
test consistently breaks QEMU VMs without this patch.
Although they both make it faster to crash, CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT and lots
of CPUs are not necessary to reproduce this problem. The symptoms range
from random reboots to corrupting the test program to corrupting whole
filesystems to strange BIOS errors. Crashdumps (when they get created at
all) are usually a mess, to the point of crashing tools used to examine
them.
