blk-mq: fix potential uaf for 'queue_hw_ctx'
This is just apply Kuai's patch in [1] with mirror changes.
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() will free the 'queue_hw_ctx'(e.g. undate
submit_queues through configfs for null_blk), while it might still be
used from other context(e.g. switch elevator to none):
t1 t2
elevator_switch
blk_mq_unquiesce_queue
blk_mq_run_hw_queues
queue_for_each_hw_ctx
// assembly code for hctx = (q)->queue_hw_ctx[i]
mov 0x48(%rbp),%rdx -> read old queue_hw_ctx
__blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
hctxs = q->queue_hw_ctx
q->queue_hw_ctx = new_hctxs
kfree(hctxs)
movslq %ebx,%rax
mov (%rdx,%rax,8),%rdi ->uaf
This problem was found by code review, and I comfirmed that the concurrent
scenario do exist(specifically 'q->queue_hw_ctx' can be changed during
blk_mq_run_hw_queues()), however, the uaf problem hasn't been repoduced yet
without hacking the kernel.
Sicne the queue is freezed in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), fix the
problem by protecting 'queue_hw_ctx' through rcu where it can be accessed
without grabbing 'q_usage_counter'.
