Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 3/3] NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during blocked-lock reaping
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 21:06:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908010645.1678749-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908010645.1678749-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 9026932ac8be4d0ae01db47f23619a98cc57b671 ]
A bare lock owner -- its only remaining reference a blocked lock on
nn->blocked_locks_lru -- holds a raw pointer to its nfs4_client but
no reference keeping the client alive. When the per-net laundromat
reaps such a lock, freeing the nbl drops the owner reference
held through flc_owner, and the final nfs4_put_stateowner()
takes the client's cl_lock. Because the laundromat detaches the
nbl first, __destroy_client() no longer finds it, so a concurrent
force_expire_client() can free the client before nfs4_put_stateowner()
runs, dereferencing cl_lock in freed memory.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users before dropping
nn->blocked_locks_lock, and skip clients already expiring, whose
blocked locks __destroy_client() frees while holding an owner
reference. Take nn->client_lock outside nn->blocked_locks_lock.
Every other site holds nn->blocked_locks_lock as a leaf, acquiring
no further lock, so placing nn->client_lock outside it cannot form
a lock-order cycle.
