Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64/sve: Fix wrong free for task->thread.sve_state
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 11:39:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190927153949.29870-1-msys.mizuma@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@jp.fujitsu.com>

The system which has SVE feature crashed because of
the memory pointed by task->thread.sve_state was destroyed
by someone.

That is because sve_state is freed while the forking the
child process. The child process has the pointer of sve_state
which is same as the parent's because the child's task_struct
is copied from the parent's one. If the copy_process()
fails as an error on somewhere, for example, copy_creds(),
then the sve_state is freed even if the parent is alive.
The flow is as follows.

copy_process
        p = dup_task_struct
            => arch_dup_task_struct
                *dst = *src;  // copy the entire region.
:
        retval = copy_creds
        if (retval < 0)
                goto bad_fork_free;
:
bad_fork_free:
...
        delayed_free_task(p);
          => free_task
             => arch_release_task_struct
                => fpsimd_release_task
                   => __sve_free
                      => kfree(task->thread.sve_state);
                         // free the parent's sve_state

Move child's sve_state = NULL and clearing TIF_SVE flag
to arch_dup_task_struct() so that the child doesn't free the
parent's one.
