* futex: Prevent the reuse of stale pi_stateSebastian Andrzej Siewior2024-01-191-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jiri Slaby reported a futex state inconsistency resulting in -EINVAL during a lock operation for a PI futex. It requires that the a lock process is interrupted by a timeout or signal: T1 Owns the futex in user space. T2 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Allocates a pi_state and attaches itself to it. T2 Times out and removes its rt_waiter from the rt_mutex. Drops the rtmutex lock and tries to acquire the hash bucket lock to remove the futex_q. The lock is contended and T2 schedules out. T1 Unlocks the futex (futex_unlock_pi()). Finds a futex_q but no rt_waiter. Unlocks the futex (do_uncontended) and makes it available to user space. T3 Acquires the futex in user space. T4 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Finds the existing futex_q of T2 and tries to attach itself to the existing pi_state. This (attach_to_pi_state()) fails with -EINVAL because uval contains the TID of T3 but pi_state points to T1. It's incorrect to unlock the futex and make it available for user space to acquire as long as there is still an existing state attached to it in the kernel. T1 cannot hand over the futex to T2 because T2 already gave up and started to clean up and is blocked on the hash bucket lock, so T2's futex_q with the pi_state pointing to T1 is still queued. T2 observes the futex_q, but ignores it as there is no waiter on the corresponding rt_mutex and takes the uncontended path which allows the subsequent caller of futex_lock_pi() (T4) to observe that stale state. To prevent this the unlock path must dequeue all futex_q entries which point to the same pi_state when there is no waiter on the rt mutex. This requires obviously to make the dequeue conditional in the locking path to prevent a double dequeue. With that it's guaranteed that user space cannot observe an uncontended futex which has kernel state attached.

* futex/pi: Fix recursive rt_mutex waiter statePeter Zijlstra2023-09-201-28/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some new assertions pointed out that the existing code has nested rt_mutex wait state in the futex code. Specifically, the futex_lock_pi() cancel case uses spin_lock() while there still is a rt_waiter enqueued for this task, resulting in a state where there are two waiters for the same task (and task_struct::pi_blocked_on gets scrambled). The reason to take hb->lock at this point is to avoid the wake_futex_pi() EAGAIN case. This happens when futex_top_waiter() and rt_mutex_top_waiter() state becomes inconsistent. The current rules are such that this inconsistency will not be observed. Notably the case that needs to be avoided is where futex_lock_pi() and futex_unlock_pi() interleave such that unlock will fail to observe a new waiter. *However* the case at hand is where a waiter is leaving, in this case the race means a waiter that is going away is not observed -- which is harmless, provided this race is explicitly handled. This is a somewhat dangerous proposition because the converse race is not observing a new waiter, which must absolutely not happen. But since the race is valid this cannot be asserted.

* futex: Remove a PREEMPT_RT_FULL reference.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior2022-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier the PREEMPT_RT patch had a PREEMPT_RT_FULL and PREEMPT_RT_BASE Kconfig option. The latter was a subset of the functionality that was enabled with PREEMPT_RT_FULL and was mainly useful for debugging. During the merging efforts the two Kconfig options were abandoned in the v5.4.3-rt1 release and since then there is only PREEMPT_RT which enables the full features set (as PREEMPT_RT_FULL did in earlier releases). Replace the PREEMPT_RT_FULL reference with PREEMPT_RT.
