Subject: [PATCH] sched/mmcid: Don't assume CID is CPU owned on mode switch
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:20:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tsvoa7to.ffs@tglx> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aYtE2xHG2A8DWWmD@shinmob>

Shinichiro reported a KASAN UAF, which is actually an out of bounds access
in the MMCID management code.

   CPU0						CPU1
   						T1 runs in userspace
   T0: fork(T4) -> Switch to per CPU CID mode
         fixup() set MM_CID_TRANSIT on T1/CPU1
   T4 exit()
   T3 exit()
   T2 exit()
						T1 exit() switch to per task mode
						 ---> Out of bounds access.

As T1 has not scheduled after T0 set the TRANSIT bit, it exits with the
TRANSIT bit set. sched_mm_cid_remove_user() clears the TRANSIT bit in
the task and drops the CID, but it does not touch the per CPU storage.
That's functionally correct because a CID is only owned by the CPU when
the ONCPU bit is set, which is mutually exclusive with the TRANSIT flag.

Now sched_mm_cid_exit() assumes that the CID is CPU owned because the
prior mode was per CPU. It invokes mm_drop_cid_on_cpu() which clears the
not set ONCPU bit and then invokes clear_bit() with an insanely large
bit number because TRANSIT is set (bit 29).

Prevent that by actually validating that the CID is CPU owned in
mm_drop_cid_on_cpu().

Fixes: 007d84287c74 ("sched/mmcid: Drop per CPU CID immediately when switching to per task mode")
