CVE-2022-49702
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix hang during unmount when block group reclaim task is running When we start an unmount, at close_ctree(), if we have the reclaim task running and in the middle of a data block group relocation, we can trigger a deadlock when stopping an async reclaim task, producing a trace like the following: [629724.498185] task:kworker/u16:7 state:D stack: 0 pid:681170 ppid: 2 flags:0x00004000 [629724.499760] Workqueue: events_unbound btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space [btrfs] [629724.501267] Call Trace: [629724.501759] <TASK> [629724.502174] __schedule+0x3cb/0xed0 [629724.502842] schedule+0x4e/0xb0 [629724.503447] btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs+0x7c/0xc0 [btrfs] [629724.504534] ? prepare_to_wait_exclusive+0xc0/0xc0 [629724.505442] flush_space+0x423/0x630 [btrfs] [629724.506296] ? rcu_read_unlock_trace_special+0x20/0x50 [629724.507259] ? lock_release+0x220/0x4a0 [629724.507932] ? btrfs_get_alloc_profile+0xb3/0x290 [btrfs] [629724.508940] ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0x4b/0xa0 [629724.509688] btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space+0x139/0x320 [btrfs] [629724.510922] process_one_work+0x252/0x5a0 [629724.511694] ? process_one_work+0x5a0/0x5a0 [629724.512508] worker_thread+0x52/0x3b0 [629724.513220] ? process_one_work+0x5a0/0x5a0 [629724.514021] kthread+0xf2/0x120 [629724.514627] ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 [629724.515526] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 [629724.516236] </TASK> [629724.516694] task:umount state:D stack: 0 pid:719055 ppid:695412 flags:0x00004000 [629724.518269] Call Trace: [629724.518746] <TASK> [629724.519160] __schedule+0x3cb/0xed0 [629724.519835] schedule+0x4e/0xb0 [629724.520467] schedule_timeout+0xed/0x130 [629724.521221] ? lock_release+0x220/0x4a0 [629724.521946] ? lock_acquired+0x19c/0x420 [629724.522662] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x1b/0xe0 [629724.523411] __wait_for_common+0xaf/0x1f0 [629724.524189] ? usleep_range_state+0xb0/0xb0 [629724.524997] __flush_work+0x26d/0x530 [629724.525698] ? flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs+0x140/0x140 [629724.526580] ? lock_acquire+0x1a0/0x310 [629724.527324] __cancel_work_timer+0x137/0x1c0 [629724.528190] close_ctree+0xfd/0x531 [btrfs] [629724.529000] ? evict_inodes+0x166/0x1c0 [629724.529510] generic_shutdown_super+0x74/0x120 [629724.530103] kill_anon_super+0x14/0x30 [629724.530611] btrfs_kill_super+0x12/0x20 [btrfs] [629724.531246] deactivate_locked_super+0x31/0xa0 [629724.531817] cleanup_mnt+0x147/0x1c0 [629724.532319] task_work_run+0x5c/0xa0 [629724.532984] exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x1a6/0x1b0 [629724.533598] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x16/0x40 [629724.534200] do_syscall_64+0x48/0x90 [629724.534667] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae [629724.535318] RIP: 0033:0x7fa2b90437a7 [629724.535804] RSP: 002b:00007ffe0b7e4458 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000a6 [629724.536912] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 00007fa2b9182264 RCX: 00007fa2b90437a7 [629724.538156] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000555d6cf20dd0 [629724.539053] RBP: 0000555d6cf20ba0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 00007ffe0b7e3200 [629724.539956] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 [629724.540883] R13: 0000555d6cf20dd0 R14: 0000555d6cf20cb0 R15: 0000000000000000 [629724.541796] </TASK> This happens because: 1) Before entering close_ctree() we have the async block group reclaim task running and relocating a data block group; 2) There's an async metadata (or data) space reclaim task running; 3) We enter close_ctree() and park the cleaner kthread; 4) The async space reclaim task is at flush_space() and runs all the existing delayed iputs; 5) Before the async space reclaim task calls btrfs_wait_on_delayed_iputs(), the block group reclaim task which is doing the data block group relocation, creates a delayed iput at replace_file_extents() (called when COWing leaves that have file extent items pointing to relocated data exten ---truncated---
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
