Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] crash_dump: Disallow writing to dm-crypt configfs during kexec_file_load syscall
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 11:36:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729033654.311541-4-coiby.xu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729033654.311541-1-coiby.xu@gmail.com>

If writing to the configfs group happens concurrently during
kexec_file_load syscall, it may lead to the following issues,
  - buffer overflow if dm-crypt keys are added after allocation
  - stale total_keys if dm-crypt keys are removed during iteration
  - keys_header will not be freed if config/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse is
    set true

So hold config_keys_subsys.su_mutex for the entire sequence during the
kexec_file_load syscall to ensure a consistent snapshot.

Fixes: 479e58549b0f ("crash_dump: store dm crypt keys in kdump reserved memory")
