Hi all,

Thanks to syzbot for the testing and confirmation.

Since I am relatively new to the inner workings of this specific subsystem, 
I would like to take a few days to thoroughly study the root cause 
(the task_work and mutex interaction) and prepare a detailed and proper commit message. 

I will send out the formal patch (v1) to the mailing list later.

Best regards,
Yihan Ding

Thank you very much for preparing a patch, and especially also for
forwarding this to us.  (The original syzkaller report was somehow not
addressed to Landlock or the LSM list.  We should fix that.)

Timing wise, the feature was picked up for the 7.0 release, so we
still have some time to fix it before this is stable.

As an early review for the patch:

Background:

We had previously convinced ourselves that grabbing the
cred_guard_mutex was not necessary.  To quote the comment in
landlock_restrict_sibling_threads():

    Unlike seccomp, which modifies sibling tasks directly, we do not need to
    acquire the cred_guard_mutex and sighand->siglock:
   
    - As in our case, all threads are themselves exchanging their own struct
      cred through the credentials API, no locks are needed for that.
    - Our for_each_thread() loops are protected by RCU.
    - We do not acquire a lock to keep the list of sibling threads stable
      between our for_each_thread loops.  If the list of available sibling
      threads changes between these for_each_thread loops, we make up for
      that by continuing to look for threads until they are all discovered
      and have entered their task_work, where they are unable to spawn new
      threads.

The question of locking cred_guard_mutex came up in the patch
discussion multiple times as well, the most recent discussion was:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251020.fohbo6Iecahz@digikod.net/

If it helps, I keep some of my own notes for this particular feature
on https://wiki.gnoack.org/LandlockMultithreadedEnforcement.

(Very) tentative investigation:

In the Syzkaller report [2], it seems that the reproducer [2.1] is
creating two rulesets and then enforcing them in parallel, a scenario
which we are exercising in the TEST(competing_enablement) in
tools/testing/selftests/landlock/tsync_test.c already, but which has
not failed in my own selftest runs.

In the crash report, there are four threads in total:

* Two are stuck in the line
  wait_for_completion(&ctx->ready_to_commit);
  in the per-thread task work (line 128 [4.1])
* Two are stuck in the line
  wait_for_completion(&shared_ctx.all_prepared)
  in the calling thread's coordination logic (line 539 [4.2])

In line 539, we are already on the code path where we detected that we
are getting interrupted by another thread and where we are attempting
to deal with the scenario where two landlock_restrict_self() calls
compete.  This is detected on line 523 when
wait_for_completion_interruptible() is true.  The approach to handle
this is to set the overall -ERESTARTNOINTR error and cancel the work
that has been ongoing so far, by canceling the task works that did not
start running yet and waiting for the ones that did start running
(that is the step where we are blocked!).  The reasoning there was
that these task works will all hit the "all_prepared" stage now, but
as we can see in the stack trace, the task works that are actively
running are already on line 128 and have passed the "all_prepared"
stage).

Differences I can see between syzkaller and our own test:

* The reproducer also calls openat() and then twice socketpair().
  These syscalls should be unrelated, but it's possible that the
  "async" invocation of socketpair() contributes to adding more
  threads. (Assuming that "async" means "in new thread" in syzkaller)
* Syzkaller gives it more attempts. ([2.2])

I do not understand yet what went wrong in our scheme and need to look
deeper.

Ding, do you have more insights into it from your debugging?

Thanks,
–Günther

OK, I think I understand now.  Our existing recovery code for this
conflict is this:

/*
 * Decrement num_preparing for current, to undo that we initialized it
 * to 1 a few lines above.
 */
if (atomic_dec_return(&shared_ctx.num_preparing) > 0) {
	if (wait_for_completion_interruptible(
		    &shared_ctx.all_prepared)) {
		/* In case of interruption, we need to retry the system call. */
		atomic_set(&shared_ctx.preparation_error,
			   -ERESTARTNOINTR);

		/*
		 * Cancel task works for tasks that did not start running yet,
		 * and decrement all_prepared and num_unfinished accordingly.
		 */
		cancel_tsync_works(&works, &shared_ctx);

		/*
		 * The remaining task works have started running, so waiting for
		 * their completion will finish.
		 */
		wait_for_completion(&shared_ctx.all_prepared);
	}
}

When I wrote this, I assumed, as the last comment states, that the
task works which we could not cancel, are already running.

I was wrong there, because I had misunderstood task_work_run().  When
the task works get run there, it first *atomically dequeues the entire
queue of scheduled task works*, and then runs them sequentially.

That is why, if we have one task work that belongs to the first
landlock_restrict_self() call and one which belongs to the other, the
task work which is scheduled later can (a) not be dequeued with
cancel_tsync_works() any more, and (b) also has not started running
yet.

Now the only thing that is necessary to produce the deadlock is that
we have a pair of threads where the task works for the restriction
calls have been scheduled in different order.  When the two
landlock_restrict_self() calls end up in the recovery path quoted
above, they will wait for one of their task works to run which is
blocked from running by another task work that is scheduled before and
does not finish either.

(Just pasting a brain dump here to save you some time hunting for the
root cause. I don't know the best solution yet either.)

Let me propose the following fixes:

1. Immediate fix for that specific issue
----------------------------------------

Proposal:
* Remove the wait_for_completion(&shared_ctx.all_prepared)
  call in the code snippet above.
* Rewrite surrounding comments: Be clear about the fact that
  cancel_tsync_works() is an opportunistic improvement, but we don't
  have a guarantee at all that it cancels any of the enqueued task
  works (because task_work_run might already have popped them off).

This removes the hold-and-wait dependency circle between the threads,
which produces the observed deadlock.  The way that we shut down now
is that we exit the main loop (happens already without it, but we
might also "break" to be explicit).

I think that this fix or an equivalent one is needed here, because in
either way, our assumptions in the quoted code above were wrong.


2. Can we reason constructively about correctness?
--------------------------------------------------

The remaining question: If on the shutdown path, we can not actually
remove all the enqueued task works, under what circumstances are we
even able to interrupt and return from the landlock_restrict_self()
system call?

2.1 For n competing restrict_self calls, n-1 of them need to get interrupted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To answer this, consider a multithreaded process with threads named
"red", "green" and "blue" and many additional threads: When "red",
"green" and "blue" enforce landlock_restrict_self() concurrently, due
to differing iteration order, we might end up enqueueing the task
works on other threads in all of the following combinations:

  t0:  R G B  <- front of queue
  t1:  R B G
  t2:  G R B
  t3:  G B R
  t4:  B R G
  t5:  B G R

In this configuration, for any of the landlock_restrict_self() system
calls to even return (successfully or unsuccessfully), at least two
threads must receive an interrupt and therefore remove their enqueued
task works from the front of the queue.  Assuming those are green and
blue, we get:

  t0:  R      <- front of queue
  t1:  R
  t2:  G R
  t3:  G B R
  t4:  B R
  t5:  B G R

(This works because after the patch above, all of the enqueued G and B
works finish even if there are remaining G and B works that are still
blocked by an "R" entry.)

Now, "R" is in the front of the queue, and the
landlock_restrict_self() call for the red thread can finish normally,
even without it being interrupted.

Once the "R" task works are done as well, the remaining G and B works
can run and finish as well.

This scheme generalizes: If we have n competing
landlock_restrict_self() calls, then in worst case, at least n-1 of
these system calls need to be interrupted so that they can all
terminate.

2.2 Can we guarantee that two system calls get interrupted?
-----------------------------------------------------------

In case of competing landlock_restrict_self() calls, I think it is
possible that not all relevant system calls get seen.  The scenario is
one where we have a "red" and "green" thread calling
landlock_restrict_self().

  (a set of additional threads)
  t0: task_works: R G
  t1: task_works: G R
  tR: red thread
  tG: green thread

In the red thread, the following happens:
 * Under RCU, count the number of total threads => get a low number
 * Allocate space for that number of task_works
 * Under RCU
   * Enqueue "R" into t0 and t1
   * Enqueue "R" for some of the "additional threads"
   * But we do not have enough pre-allocated space to enqueue "R" for
     the green thread tG.

The same thing happens in the green thread as well.

The result is that we still have a deadlock between t0 and t1, but
neither the red nor the green thread get interrupted so that they can
resolve it.

(FWIW, you could resolve it from the outside by sending a signal to
the red or green thread manually, but it is not guaranteed to happen
on its own.)

Caveat: I am making pessimistic assumptions about the iteration order
of the task list here, and I am assuming that the number of
"additional threads" is swinging up and down during the competing
enforcement, so that the enforcing threads are mis-approximating the
required space for memory pre-allocation.

2.3 Possible resolutions
------------------------

* We could try to interrupt all sibling threads during the teardown,
  to fix the issue discussed in 2.2. (Downside: Complicated, more
  expensive)
* The reason why landlock_restrict_self() can't return is because it
  needs to wait until all task works are done before it can free the
  memory.  Alternatively, we could make the task works take ownership
  of these memory structures (refcounting the shared_ctx).  (Downside:
  The used memory is not linear to the number of threads any more.)

Side remark: In testing, I had the impression that the
landlock_restrict_self() calls can go into a retry loop for a while
where all competing threads get interrupted all the time; in a debug
build, when the Syzkaller test prints out a line for each attempt,
sometimes it was hanging for seconds and *then* resolving itself
again.

3 Conclusion
---------------

I would prefer if the final solution would not require deadlock
reasoning at that level and we could do it in simpler way.  I
therefore propose to do what Ding Yihan suggested, and what we had
also discussed previously in the code review:

* Let's serialize the landlock_restrict_self()-with-TSYNC operations
  through the cred_guard_mutex.

This will resolve the issue where competing landlock_restrict_self()
calls with TSYNC can deadlock.  It will also remove the jittery
behavior for that worst case where the conflict is resolved through
retry.


So in my mind, we need both patches:

 * The fix to the cleanup path from 1. above, to make interruption
   work more reliably and to correct the misunderstandings in the
   comments.
 * cred_guard_mutex to serialize the TSYNC invocations.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
–Günther

Re: [syzbot] [kernel?] INFO: task hung in restrict_one_thread_callback

[Ding Yihan]

Hi Günther,

Thank you for the detailed analysis and the clear breakdown. 
Apologies for the delayed response. I spent the last couple of days
thoroughly reading through the previous mailing list discussions. I
was trying hard to see if there was any viable pure lockless design
that could solve this concurrency issue while preserving the original
architecture. 

However, after looking at the complexities you outlined, I completely
agree with your conclusion: serializing the TSYNC operations is indeed
the most robust and reasonable path forward to prevent the deadlock.

Regarding the lock choice, since 'cred_guard_mutex' is explicitly
marked as deprecated for new code in the kernel,maybe we can use its
modern replacement: 'exec_update_lock' (using down_write_trylock /
up_write on current->signal). This aligns with the current subsystem
standards and was also briefly touched upon by Jann in the older
discussions.

I fully understand the requirement for the two-part patch series:
1. Cleaning up the cancellation logic and comments.
2. Introducing the serialization lock for TSYNC.

I will take some time to draft and test this patch series properly. 
I also plan to discuss this with my kernel colleagues here at 
UnionTech to see if they have any additional suggestions on the 
implementation details before I submit it.

I will send out the v1 patch series to the list as soon as it is
ready. Thanks again for your guidance and the great discussion!

Best regards,
Yihan Ding

Thank you, Ding, this is much appreciated!

I agree, the `exec_update_lock` might be the better solution;
I also need to familiarize myself more with it to double-check.

Re: [syzbot] [kernel?] INFO: task hung in restrict_one_thread_callback

[Ding Yihan]

Hi Günther,

Thank you for the detailed analysis! I completely agree that serializing the TSYNC 
operations is the right way to prevent this deadlock. I have drafted a patch using 
`exec_update_lock` (similar to how seccomp uses `cred_guard_mutex`).

Regarding your proposal to split this into two patches (one for the cleanup 
path and one for the lock): Maybe combining them into a single patch is a better choice. Here is why:

We actually *cannot* remove `wait_for_completion(&shared_ctx.all_prepared)` 
in the interrupt recovery path. Since `shared_ctx` is allocated on the local 
stack of the caller, removing the wait would cause a severe Use-After-Free (UAF) if the 
thread returns to userspace while sibling task_works are still executing and dereferencing `ctx`. 

By adding the lock, we inherently resolve the deadlock, meaning the sibling task_works 
will never get stuck. Thus, `wait_for_completion` becomes perfectly safe to keep, 
and it remains strictly necessary to protect the stack memory. Therefore, the "fix" for the 
cleanup path is simply updating the comments to reflect this reality, which is tightly coupled with the locking fix. 
It felt more cohesive as a single patch.

I have test the patch on my laptop,and it will not trigger the issue.Let's have syzbot test this combined logic:

[PATCH] landlock: Fix deadlock in restrict_one_thread_callback

[Yihan Ding]

syzbot found a deadlock in landlock_restrict_sibling_threads().
When multiple threads concurrently call landlock_restrict_self() with
sibling thread restriction enabled, they can deadlock by mutually
queueing task_works on each other and then blocking in kernel space
(waiting for the other to finish).

Fix this by serializing the TSYNC operations within the same process
using the exec_update_lock. This prevents concurrent invocations
from deadlocking.

Additionally, update the comments in the interrupt recovery path to
clarify that cancel_tsync_works() is an opportunistic cleanup, and
waiting for completion is strictly necessary to prevent a Use-After-Free
of the stack-allocated shared_ctx.

Fixes: 42fc7e6543f6 ("landlock: Multithreading support for landlock_restrict_self()")

Should we use the *_killable variant of this lock acquisition?

I do not think that we must wait for all_prepared here, as your
updated comment says: The landlock_restrict_sibling_threads() function
still waits for all of these task works to finish at the bottom where
it waits for "all_finished", so there is no UAF on the local shared
context?

I would recommend replacing the
wait_for_completion(&shared_ctx.all_prepared) call and its comment
with an explicit "break":

/*
 * Break the loop with error.  The cleanup code after the loop
 * unblocks the remaining task_works.
 */
break;

Please also update the comment above the complete_all(ready_to_commit):

  We now have either (a) all sibling threads blocking and in
  "prepared" state in the task work, or (b) the preparation error is
  set.  Ask all threads to commit (or abort).

Then it is a bit more explicit about the error handling variant of this.


(FYI, I have tested the patch variant where I only removed the
wait_for_completion(all_prepared) call, and where I did *not* add the
additional lock at the top.  In this configuration, I was unable to
get it to hang any more, even with added mdelays.  But as discussed in
section 2.2 of [1], there are still difficult to reproduce scenarios
where this can theoretically fail, and it is better to use the lock at
the top.)

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260223.52c45aed20f8@gnoack.org/

Please also feel free to split up the change into a part that adds the
exec_guard_lock and a part that changes the path where the calling
thread gets interrupted.  Strictly speaking, the part where we change
the interruption logic is only a nicety once we have the
exec_guard_lock in place.
