Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 17:24:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220119012417.299060-1-tadeusz.struk@linaro.org> (raw)
Syzbot found a GPF in reweight_entity. This has been bisected to commit
c85c6fadbef0 ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group")
Looks like after this change there is a time window, when
task_struct->se.cfs_rq can be NULL. This can be exploited to trigger
null-ptr-deref by calling setpriority on that task.
