[PATCH v4 0/2] blk-cgroup: Fix potential UAF & flush rstat at blkgs destruction path
From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed Dec 14 2022 - 22:32:50 EST
v4:
- Update comment and commit logs for both patches.
v3:
- Drop v2 patch 2 as it may not be needed.
- Replace css_tryget() with percpu_ref_is_zero() in patch 1 as
suggested by Tejun.
- Expand comment on patch 2 to elaborate the reason for this patch.
v2:
- Remove unnecessary rcu_read_{lock|unlock} from
cgroup_rstat_css_cpu_flush() in patch 3.
It was found that blkcg_destroy_blkgs() may be called with all blkcg
references gone. This may potentially cause user-after-free and so should
be fixed. The second patch flushes rstat when calling blkcg_destroy_blkgs().
