Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2 22/23] proc: own the wait queue of an entry with a ->proc_poll()
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 20:34:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-work-procfs-core-v2-22-76ace653a773@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-work-procfs-core-v2-0-76ace653a773@kernel.org>

An entry with a ->proc_poll() calls poll_wait() on a wait queue of its
own and procfs pins the entry around that. The pin covers the call, not
what it leaves behind: the poller stays queued on the entry's queue
after the call, and so after remove_proc_entry() ran ->proc_release()
on the still open file and the entry's owner freed the queue with the
rest. sunrpc had the queue of its channel files in the per-namespace
cache_detail, which is freed when the namespace goes, so a poll() or
epoll on such a file across the end of the namespace was a
use-after-free, fixed for stable by going back to one static queue. md
works around the same problem at module unload by waking its pollers
in a loop until none is left.

So do what kernfs does with kernfs_open_node: procfs owns the wait
queue. Every entry with a ->proc_poll() gets an open node, which lives
as long as the entry does, and the entry's inode holds the entry, so
the queue outlives every open file and every poll or epoll entry on it.
proc_reg_poll() does the poll_wait() on it before it calls the method,
the owner wakes the pollers with proc_poll_notify(), and procfs wakes
them when the entry is removed, after which a poll of it reports
EPOLLERR | EPOLLPRI, like kernfs_fop_poll() does. The open node tracks
the open files only for the entries whose release hook procfs has to
call at removal, as before. Which methods an entry has procfs keeps in
the entry's flags, and whether its files are tracked comes from there
too: the last close of a file can come after the entry was removed and
its proc_ops freed with their module.

The method still gets the poll_table for now and the entries keep
sleeping on their own queues until they are converted. The last series
takes the poll_table away, so that an entry can't hand procfs a queue
that dies before its files do.
