Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Take cgroup_lock() first in scx_cgroup_lock() scx_cgroup_lock() write-locks scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and then takes cgroup_lock(), which can deadlock through kernfs: scx enable/disable cgroup rmdir cpu.weight write
cgroup_lock()
percpu_down_write(rwsem)
cgroup_lock()
kernfs_get_active()
percpu_down_read(rwsem)
kernfs_drain()
The enable path waits for the rmdir to release cgroup_mutex. The rmdir,
deactivating the cpu controller's files, waits in kernfs_drain() for the
write's active reference. The write, in scx_group_set_weight(), waits for
the rwsem behind the pending writer.
Take cgroup_lock() first. The set_* paths take no cgroup locks inside the
read side, so a pending write-lock then only waits for read sections that
always run to completion, and no dependency from the rwsem back to
cgroup_mutex remains.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sched_ext component. An incorrect locking order within the scx_cgroup_lock() function can lead to a deadlock. This occurs when certain cgroup operations, such as enabling/disabling scx or removing a cgroup, happen concurrently with cpu.weight writes. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system-wide Denial of Service (DoS).
