- Summary
- PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernate_compressor_param_set()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernatecompressorparam_set()
syzbot reported a deadlock in locksystemsleep() (see below).
The write operation to "/sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor" conflicts with the registration of ieee80211 device, resulting in a deadlock when attempting to acquire systemtransitionmutex under param_lock.
To avoid this deadlock, change hibernatecompressorparamset() to use mutextrylock() for attempting to acquire systemtransitionmutex and return -EBUSY when it fails.
Task flags need not be saved or adjusted before calling mutextrylock(&systemtransition_mutex) because the caller is not going to end up waiting for this mutex and if it runs concurrently with system suspend in progress, it will be frozen properly when it returns to user space.
syzbot report:
syz-executor895/5833 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff8e0828c8 (systemtransitionmutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: locksystemsleep+0x87/0xa0 kernel/power/main.c:56
but task is already holding lock: ffffffff8e07dc68 (paramlock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: kernelparamlock kernel/params.c:607 [inline] ffffffff8e07dc68 (paramlock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: paramattrstore+0xe6/0x300 kernel/params.c:586
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
