Subject: [PATCH 1/5] NFSD: Don't complete a cld upcall the daemon has not read
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:38:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830-alemi-v1-1-463f80b9e9a8@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830-alemi-v1-0-463f80b9e9a8@kernel.org>
cld_pipe_downcall() matches a reply to its upcall on the xid alone.
A write that arrives before the daemon has read that upcall
completes __cld_pipe_upcall() while its struct rpc_pipe_msg is still
queued on the pipe. The waiter returns, its stack frame goes away,
and the pipe keeps a list_head that points into it. The next
rpc_queue_upcall() walks that pointer:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __list_add_valid_or_report
Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90007027950 by task syz.0.96/13066
__list_add_valid_or_report+0x6a/0x130
rpc_queue_upcall
cld_pipe_upcall
nfsd4_cld_grace_start
nfsd4_cld_tracking_init
The pipe is mode 0600 in rpc_pipefs, so the trigger is a broken or
hostile nfsdcld rather than an unprivileged task.
Record whether the daemon has consumed the whole message and
complete only when it has. cld_pipe_destroy_msg() runs on every path
by which the pipe releases a message, so it can maintain that flag
under cn_lock. nfsdcld sends its -EINPROGRESS downcalls only after
reading the upcall, so the new check does not break the GraceStart
record stream.
Fixes: f3f8014862d8 ("nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall")
Reported-by: Farhad Alemi <farhad.alemi@berkeley.edu>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/CA+0ovCjVF58WLeen2ctdzHyWUASAAW3Y=Yjihyq0pFApYawtDg@mail.gmail.com/
