Summary
futex: Prevent use-after-free during requeue-PI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

futex: Prevent use-after-free during requeue-PI

syzbot managed to trigger the following race:

T1 T2

futexwaitrequeuepi() futexdowait() schedule() futexrequeue() futexproxytrylockatomic() futexrequeuepiprepare() requeuepiwakefutex() futexrequeuepicomplete() /* preempt */

     * timeout/ signal wakes T1 *

futexrequeuepiwakeupsync() // QREQUEUEPILOCKED futexhashput() // back to userland, on stack futexq is garbage

                                  /* back */
                                 wake_up_state(q->task, TASK_NORMAL);

In this scenario futexwaitrequeuepi() is able to leave without using futexq::lock_ptr for synchronization.

This can be prevented by reading futexq::task before updating the futexq::requeuestate. A reference on the taskstruct is not needed because requeuepiwakefutex() is invoked with a spinlockt held which implies a RCU read section.

Even if T1 terminates immediately after, the taskstruct will remain valid during T2's wakeupstate(). A READONCE on futexq::task before futexrequeuepicomplete() is enough because it ensures that the variable is read before the state is updated.

Read futex_q::task before updating the requeue state, use it for the following wakeup.
