[PATCH 5.4 14/60] cgroup: Do not corrupt task iteration when rebinding subsystem

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com>

commit 6f363f5aa845561f7ea496d8b1175e3204470486 upstream.

We found a refcount UAF bug as follows:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 342 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xa0/0x148

then a kernel panic will be triggered as below:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000c0000010

The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:

(hotplug cpu)                | (umount cpuset)
mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex)    | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex)
cpuset_hotplug_workfn        |
 rebuild_root_domains        |  rebind_subsystems
  update_tasks_root_domain   |   spin_lock_irq(&css_set_lock)
   css_task_iter_start       |    list_move_tail(&cset->e_cset_node[ss->id]
   while(css_task_iter_next) |                  &dcgrp->e_csets[ss->id]);
   css_task_iter_end         |   spin_unlock_irq(&css_set_lock)
mutex_unlock(&cpuset_mutex)  | mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex)

Inside css_task_iter_start/next/end, css_set_lock is hold and then
released, so when iterating task(left side), the css_set may be moved to
another list(right side), then it->cset_head points to the old list head
and it->cset_pos->next points to the head node of new list, which can't
be used as struct css_set.

To fix this issue, switch from all css_sets to only scgrp's css_sets to
patch in-flight iterators to preserve correct iteration, and then
update it->cset_head as well.
