a=openpgp; fpr=4880B8C9BD0E5106FC070F4F7B3C391EFEA93624 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit vmcore_cleanup() has a single caller, fadump's release_mem_store() on powerpc. That checks fw_dump.dump_active without a lock and calls vmcore_cleanup() without one, and kernfs only serializes the writers of one open file. So two tasks that write to /sys/kernel/fadump/release_mem through different files run vmcore_cleanup() at the same time. The first one removes /proc/vmcore and waits for its readers in proc_remove(). The second one finds the entry already unlinked, returns from proc_remove() right away and frees vmcore_list, the ELF headers and the device dumps while those readers still walk them. Or both of them free the same lists at once. Serialize vmcore_cleanup() with a mutex of its own. It can't be vmcore_mutex, removing /proc/vmcore calls release_vmcore() which takes it. The second caller then finds nothing left to free. Reported-by: Chris Mason Fixes: b500afff11f6 ("fadump: Invalidate registration and release reserved memory for general use.")
