- Summary
- PM / devfreq: Synchronize devfreq_monitor_[start/stop]
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: Synchronize devfreqmonitor[start/stop]
There is a chance if a frequent switch of the governor done in a loop result in timer list corruption where timer cancel being done from two place one from canceldelayedworksync() and followed by expiretimers() can be seen from the traces[1].
while true do echo "simple_ondemand" > /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor echo "performance" > /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor done
It looks to be issue with devfreq driver where devicemonitor[start/stop] need to synchronized so that delayed work should get corrupted while it is either being queued or running or being cancelled.
Let's use polling flag and devfreq lock to synchronize the queueing the timer instance twice and work data being corrupted.
