Subject: [RFC PATCH] locking/ww_mutex: Adjust to lockdep nest_lock requirements
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 10:40:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230911084042.5160-1-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> (raw)
When using mutex_acquire_nest() with a nest_lock, lockdep refcounts the
number of acquired lockdep_maps of mutexes of the same class, and also
keeps a pointer to the first acquired lockdep_map of a class. That pointer
is then used for various comparison-, printing- and checking purposes,
but there is no mechanism to actively ensure that lockdep_map stays in
memory. Instead, a warning is printed if the lockdep_map is freed and
there are still held locks of the same lock class, even if the lockdep_map
itself has been released.
In the context of WW/WD transactions that means that if a user unlocks
and frees a ww_mutex from within an ongoing ww transaction, and that
mutex happens to be the first ww_mutex grabbed in the transaction,
such a warning is printed and there might be a risk of a UAF.
Note that this is only problem when lockdep is enabled and affects only
dereferences of struct lockdep_map.
Adjust to this by adding a fake lockdep_map to the acquired context and
make sure it is the first acquired lockdep map of the associated
ww_mutex class. Then hold it for the duration of the WW/WD transaction.
