Subject: [PATCH 6.12 69/87] cgroup: Fix kernfs_node UAF in css_free_rwork_fn
Date: Wed,  4 Feb 2026 15:41:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204143849.400071829@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260204143846.906385641@linuxfoundation.org>

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "T.J. Mercier" <tjmercier@google.com>

This fix patch is not upstream, and is applicable only to kernels 6.10
(where the cgroup_rstat_lock tracepoint was added) through 6.15 after
which commit 5da3bfa029d6 ("cgroup: use separate rstat trees for each
subsystem") reordered cgroup_rstat_flush as part of a new feature
addition and inadvertently fixed this UAF.

css_free_rwork_fn first releases the last reference on the cgroup's
kernfs_node, and then calls cgroup_rstat_exit which attempts to use it
in the cgroup_rstat_lock tracepoint:

kernfs_put(cgrp->kn);
cgroup_rstat_exit
  cgroup_rstat_flush
    __cgroup_rstat_lock
      trace_cgroup_rstat_locked:
        TP_fast_assign(
          __entry->root = cgrp->root->hierarchy_id;
          __entry->id = cgroup_id(cgrp);

Where cgroup_id is:
static inline u64 cgroup_id(const struct cgroup *cgrp)
{
	return cgrp->kn->id;
}

Fix this by reordering the kernfs_put after cgroup_rstat_exit.
