Refactor wait/wakeup routines in chardev on L4 #38
Comments
Refactoring would not be beneficial. Waking up by PID will be replaced by IDR. |

Use IDR instead of task_struct pointers as authorization request IDs. Also see #38

This patch fixes a memory corruption that occurred in the nand_scan() path for Hynix nand device. On boot, for Hynix nand device will panic at a weird place: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000070 | [00000070] *pgd=00000000 | Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM | Modules linked in: | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.17.0-01473-g13ae1769cfb0 #38 | Hardware name: Generic DT based system | PC is at nandc_set_reg+0x8/0x1c | LR is at qcom_nandc_command+0x20c/0x5d0 | pc : [<c088b74c>] lr : [<c088d9c8>] psr: 00000113 | sp : c14adc50 ip : c14ee208 fp : c0cc970c | r10: 000000a3 r9 : 00000000 r8 : 00000040 | r7 : c16f6a00 r6 : 00000090 r5 : 00000004 r4 :c14ee040 | r3 : 00000000 r2 : 0000000b r1 : 00000000 r0 :c14ee040 | Flags: nzcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none | Control: 10c5387d Table: 8020406a DAC: 00000051 | Register r0 information: slab kmalloc-2k start c14ee000 pointer offset 64 size 2048 | Process swapper/0 (pid: 1, stack limit = 0x(ptrval)) | nandc_set_reg from qcom_nandc_command+0x20c/0x5d0 | qcom_nandc_command from nand_readid_op+0x198/0x1e8 | nand_readid_op from hynix_nand_has_valid_jedecid+0x30/0x78 | hynix_nand_has_valid_jedecid from hynix_nand_init+0xb8/0x454 | hynix_nand_init from nand_scan_with_ids+0xa30/0x14a8 | nand_scan_with_ids from qcom_nandc_probe+0x648/0x7b0 | qcom_nandc_probe from platform_probe+0x58/0xac The problem is that the nand_scan()'s qcom_nand_attach_chip callback is updating the nandc->max_cwperpage from 1 to 4 or 8 based on page size. This causes the sg_init_table of clear_bam_transaction() in the driver's qcom_nandc_command() to memset much more than what was initially allocated by alloc_bam_transaction(). This patch will update nandc->max_cwperpage 1 to 4 or 8 based on page size in qcom_nand_attach_chip call back after freeing the previously allocated memory for bam txn as per nandc->max_cwperpage = 1 and then again allocating bam txn as per nandc->max_cwperpage = 4 or 8 based on page size in qcom_nand_attach_chip call back itself.

If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling waitqueue gets freed in the following path: do_rmdir cgroup_rmdir kernfs_drain_open_files cgroup_file_release cgroup_pressure_release psi_trigger_destroy However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit: fput ep_eventpoll_release ep_free ep_remove_wait_queue remove_wait_queue This results in use-after-free as pasted below. The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime. Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line with the comment at commit 42288cb ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()") since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more justifiable if we identify more cases like this.

There are times when code in L4 has to wait for some event (e.g. when waiting for answer from the authorization server). Sleeping and waking up in these areas is based on changing process state and waking up by PID. This approach should be replaceable by kernel waitqueue mechanism in wait.c. Read more in memory-barriers.txt. Analyze if refactoring would be beneficial and implement the change.
