Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slab: do not access current->mems_allowed_seq if !allow_spin Lockdep complains when get_from_any_partial() is called in an NMI context, because current->mems_allowed_seq is seqcount_spinlock_t and not NMI-safe: ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 6.19.0-rc5-kfree-rcu+ #315 Tainted: G N -------------------------------- inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI} usage. kunit_try_catch/9989 [HC1[1]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] takes: ffff889085799820 (&____s->seqcount#3){.-.-}-{0:0}, at: ___slab_alloc+0x58f/0xc00 {INITIAL USE} state was registered at: lock_acquire+0x185/0x320 kernel_init_freeable+0x391/0x1150 kernel_init+0x1f/0x220 ret_from_fork+0x736/0x8f0 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 irq event stamp: 56 hardirqs last enabled at (55): [<ffffffff850a68d7>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x27/0x70 hardirqs last disabled at (56): [<ffffffff850858ca>] __schedule+0x2a8a/0x6630 softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffff81536711>] copy_process+0x1dc1/0x6a10 softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&____s->seqcount#3); <Interrupt> lock(&____s->seqcount#3); *** DEADLOCK *** According to Documentation/locking/seqlock.rst, seqcount_t is not NMI-safe and seqcount_latch_t should be used when read path can interrupt the write-side critical section. In this case, do not access current->mems_allowed_seq and avoid retry.
