Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nRDMA/iwcm: Fix WARNING:at_kernel/workqueue.c:#check_flush_dependency\nIn the commit aee2424246f9 ('RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to\ndestroying CM IDs'), the function flush_workqueue is invoked to flush the\nwork queue iwcm_wq.\nBut at that time, the work queue iwcm_wq was created via the function\nalloc_ordered_workqueue without the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.\nBecause the current process is trying to flush the whole iwcm_wq, if\niwcm_wq doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, verify that the current\nprocess is not reclaiming memory or running on a workqueue which doesn't\nhave the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as that can break forward-progress guarantee\nleading to a deadlock.\nThe call trace is as below:\n[ 125.350876][ T1430] Call Trace:\n[ 125.356281][ T1430] \n[ 125.361285][ T1430] ? __warn (kernel/panic.c:693)\n[ 125.367640][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9))\n[ 125.375689][ T1430] ? report_bug (lib/bug.c:180 lib/bug.c:219)\n[ 125.382505][ T1430] ? handle_bug (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:239)\n[ 125.388987][ T1430] ? exc_invalid_op (arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:260 (discriminator 1))\n[ 125.395831][ T1430] ? asm_exc_invalid_op (arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:621)\n[ 125.403125][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9))\n[ 125.410984][ T1430] ? check_flush_dependency (kernel/workqueue.c:3706 (discriminator 9))\n[ 125.418764][ T1430] __flush_workqueue (kernel/workqueue.c:3970)\n[ 125.426021][ T1430] ? __pfx___might_resched (kernel/sched/core.c:10151)\n[ 125.433431][ T1430] ? destroy_cm_id (drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c:375) iw_cm\n[ 125.441209][ T1430] ? __pfx___flush_workqueue (kernel/workqueue.c:3910)\n[ 125.473900][ T1430] ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave (arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:107 include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h:2170 include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:1302 include/asm-generic/qspinlock.h:111 include/linux/spinlock.h:187 include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:111 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162)\n[ 125.473909][ T1430] ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irqsave (kernel/locking/spinlock.c:161)\n[ 125.482537][ T1430] _destroy_id (drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:2044) rdma_cm\n[ 125.495072][ T1430] nvme_rdma_free_queue (drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c:656 drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c:650) nvme_rdma\n[ 125.505827][ T1430] nvme_rdma_reset_ctrl_work (drivers/nvme/host/rdma.c:2180) nvme_rdma\n[ 125.505831][ T1430] process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3231)\n[ 125.515122][ T1430] worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3306 kernel/workqueue.c:3393)\n[ 125.515127][ T1430] ? __pfx_worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3339)\n[ 125.531837][ T1430] kthread (kernel/kthread.c:389)\n[ 125.539864][ T1430] ? __pfx_kthread (kernel/kthread.c:342)\n[ 125.550628][ T1430] ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147)\n[ 125.558840][ T1430] ? __pfx_kthread (kernel/kthread.c:342)\n[ 125.558844][ T1430] ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:257)\n[ 125.566487][ T1430] \n[ 125.566488][ T1430] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
