From 29b6d5ad3e43cfec08b3bbb4d24b5b23d06d4f62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2025 00:55:32 +0100 Subject: rcuref: Plug slowpath race in rcuref_put() commit b9a49520679e98700d3d89689cc91c08a1c88c1d upstream. Kernel test robot reported an "imbalanced put" in the rcuref_put() slow path, which turned out to be a false positive. Consider the following race: ref = 0 (via rcuref_init(ref, 1)) T1 T2 rcuref_put(ref) -> atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref) # ref -> 0xffffffff -> rcuref_put_slowpath(ref) rcuref_get(ref) -> atomic_add_negative_relaxed(1, &ref->refcnt) -> return true; # ref -> 0 rcuref_put(ref) -> atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref) # ref -> 0xffffffff -> rcuref_put_slowpath() -> cnt = atomic_read(&ref->refcnt); # cnt -> 0xffffffff / RCUREF_NOREF -> atomic_try_cmpxchg_release(&ref->refcnt, &cnt, RCUREF_DEAD)) # ref -> 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD -> return true -> cnt = atomic_read(&ref->refcnt); # cnt -> 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD -> if (cnt > RCUREF_RELEASED) # 0xe0000000 > 0xc0000000 -> WARN_ONCE(cnt >= RCUREF_RELEASED, "rcuref - imbalanced put()") The problem is the additional read in the slow path (after it decremented to RCUREF_NOREF) which can happen after the counter has been marked RCUREF_DEAD. Prevent this by reusing the return value of the decrement. Now every "final" put uses RCUREF_NOREF in the slow path and attempts the final cmpxchg() to RCUREF_DEAD.
