Subject: [PATCH 3.2 077/147] epoll: fix race between ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE)
 and ep_free()/ep_remove()

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit 138e4ad67afd5c6c318b056b4d17c17f2c0ca5c0 upstream.

The race was introduced by me in commit 971316f0503a ("epoll:
ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead").  I did not
realize that nothing can protect eventpoll after ep_poll_callback() sets
->whead = NULL, only whead->lock can save us from the race with
ep_free() or ep_remove().

Move ->whead = NULL to the end of ep_poll_callback() and add the
necessary barriers.

TODO: cleanup the ewake/EPOLLEXCLUSIVE logic, it was confusing even
before this patch.

Hopefully this explains use-after-free reported by syzcaller:

	BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in debug_spin_lock_before
	...
	 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4a/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:159
	 ep_poll_callback+0x29f/0xff0 fs/eventpoll.c:1148

this is spin_lock(eventpoll->lock),

	...
	Freed by task 17774:
	...
	 kfree+0xe8/0x2c0 mm/slub.c:3883
	 ep_free+0x22c/0x2a0 fs/eventpoll.c:865

Fixes: 971316f0503a ("epoll: ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead")

 - Use smp_mb() and ACCESS_ONCE() instead of smp_{load_acquire,store_release}()
 - EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not supported]
