- tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing
With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members, e.g. i_lru or i_sb_list to not corrupt related list traversals when making use of the rcu_head.
For an unlucky structure layout of 'struct inode' we may end up with the following splat when running the ftrace selftests:
[<...>] list_del corruption, ffff888103ee2cb0->next (tracefs_inode_cache+0x0/0x4e0 [slab object]) is NULL (prev is tracefs_inode_cache+0x78/0x4e0 [slab object]) [<...>] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [<...>] kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:54!
