Subject: [STABLE v5.10 1/2] rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 08:54:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721075459.1970132-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Keenan Dong <keenanat2000@gmail.com>
commit 3bfdc63936dd4773109b7b8c280c0f3b5ae7d349 upstream.
remove_waiter() is used by the slowlock paths, but it is also used for
proxy-lock rollback in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() when invoked from
futex_requeue().
In the latter case waiter::task is not current, but remove_waiter()
operates on current for the dequeue operation. That results in several
problems:
1) the rbtree dequeue happens without waiter::task::pi_lock being held
2) the waiter task's pi_blocked_on state is not cleared, which leaves a
dangling pointer primed for UAF around.
3) rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() operates on the wrong top priority waiter
task
Use waiter::task instead of current in all related operations in
remove_waiter() to cure those problems.
[ tglx: Fixup rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(), add a comment and amend the
changelog ]
Fixes: 8161239a8bcc ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock")
