9p/xen: protect xen_9pfs_front_free against concurrent calls

2026-03-04T12:20:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit ce8ded2e61f47747e31eeefb44dc24a2160a7e32 ] The xenwatch thread can race with other back-end change notifications and call xen_9pfs_front_free() twice, hitting the observed general protection fault due to a double-free. Guard the teardown path so only one caller can release the front-end state at a time, preventing the crash. This is a fix for the following double-free: [ 27.052347] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NOPTI [ 27.052357] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 32 Comm: xenwatch Not tainted 6.18.0-02087-g51ab33fc0a8b-dirty #60 PREEMPT(none) [ 27.052363] RIP: e030:xen_9pfs_front_free+0x1d/0x150 [ 27.052368] Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 41 55 41 54 55 48 89 fd 48 c7 c7 48 d0 92 85 53 e8 cb cb 05 00 48 8b 45 08 48 8b 55 00 <48> 3b 28 0f 85 f9 28 35 fe 48 3b 6a 08 0f 85 ef 28 35 fe 48 89 42 [ 27.052377] RSP: e02b:ffffc9004016fdd0 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 27.052381] RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBX: ffff88800d66e400 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052385] RDX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052389] RBP: ffff88800a887040 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052393] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff888009e46b68 [ 27.052397] R13: 0000000000000200 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88800a887040 [ 27.052404] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88808ca57000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 27.052408] CS: e030 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 27.052412] CR2: 00007f9714004360 CR3: 0000000004834000 CR4: 0000000000050660 [ 27.052418] Call Trace: [ 27.052420] [ 27.052422] xen_9pfs_front_changed+0x5d5/0x720 [ 27.052426] ? xenbus_otherend_changed+0x72/0x140 [ 27.052430] ? __pfx_xenwatch_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052434] xenwatch_thread+0x94/0x1c0 [ 27.052438] ? __pfx_autoremove_wake_function+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052442] kthread+0xf8/0x240 [ 27.052445] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052449] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052452] ret_from_fork+0x16b/0x1a0 [ 27.052456] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052459] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 27.052463] [ 27.052465] Modules linked in: [ 27.052471] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Message-ID: <20260129230348.2390470-1-stefano.stabellini@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

9p/trans_fd: p9_fd_request: kick rx thread if EPOLLIN

2025-09-19T07:34:51+00:00

p9_read_work() doesn't set Rworksched and doesn't do schedule_work(m->rq) if list_empty(&m->req_list). However, if the pipe is full, we need to read more data and this used to work prior to commit aaec5a95d59615 ("pipe_read: don't wake up the writer if the pipe is still full"). p9_read_work() does p9_fd_read() -> ... -> anon_pipe_read() which (before the commit above) triggered the unnecessary wakeup. This wakeup calls p9_pollwake() which kicks p9_poll_workfn() -> p9_poll_mux(), p9_poll_mux() will notice EPOLLIN and schedule_work(&m->rq). This no longer happens after the optimization above, change p9_fd_request() to use p9_poll_mux() instead of only checking for EPOLLOUT.

net/9p: Fix buffer overflow in USB transport layer

2025-08-23T06:34:46+00:00

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the USB 9pfs transport layer where inconsistent size validation between packet header parsing and actual data copying allows a malicious USB host to overflow heap buffers. The issue occurs because: - usb9pfs_rx_header() validates only the declared size in packet header - usb9pfs_rx_complete() uses req->actual (actual received bytes) for memcpy This allows an attacker to craft packets with small declared size (bypassing validation) but large actual payload (triggering overflow in memcpy). Add validation in usb9pfs_rx_complete() to ensure req->actual does not exceed the buffer capacity before copying data.

netfs: Fix the request's work item to not require a ref

2025-05-21T12:35:20+00:00

When the netfs_io_request struct's work item is queued, it must be supplied with a ref to the work item struct to prevent it being deallocated whilst on the queue or whilst it is being processed. This is tricky to manage as we have to get a ref before we try and queue it and then we may find it's already queued and is thus already holding a ref - in which case we have to try and get rid of the ref again. The problem comes if we're in BH or IRQ context and need to drop the ref: if netfs_put_request() reduces the count to 0, we have to do the cleanup - but the cleanup may need to wait. Fix this by adding a new work item to the request, ->cleanup_work, and dispatching that when the refcount hits zero. That can then synchronously cancel any outstanding work on the main work item before doing the cleanup. Adding a new work item also deals with another problem upstream where it's sometimes changing the work func in the put function and requeuing it - which has occasionally in the past caused the cleanup to happen incorrectly. As a bonus, this allows us to get rid of the 'was_async' parameter from a bunch of functions. This indicated whether the put function might not be permitted to sleep.

9p: Use hashtable.h for hash_errmap

2025-03-22T21:20:48+00:00

Convert hash_errmap in error.c to use the generic hashtable implementation from hashtable.h instead of the manual hlist_head array implementation. This simplifies the code and makes it more maintainable by using the standard hashtable API and removes the need for manual hash table management.

9p/trans_fd: mark concurrent read and writes to p9_conn->err

2025-03-19T12:20:31+00:00

Writes for the error value of a connection are spinlock-protected inside p9_conn_cancel, but lockless reads are present elsewhere to avoid performing unnecessary work after an error has been met. Mark the write and lockless reads to make KCSAN happy. Mark the write as exclusive following the recommendation in "Lock-Protected Writes with Lockless Reads" in tools/memory-model/Documentation/access-marking.txt while we are at it. Mark p9_fd_request and p9_conn_cancel m->err reads despite the fact that they do not race with concurrent writes for stylistic reasons.

In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both variables were signed.
