Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] futex/requeue: Prevent rcuwait use-after-free during requeue PI
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:51:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722085140.1949077-3-yaokai34@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722085140.1949077-1-yaokai34@huawei.com>

On PREEMPT_RT, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI can trigger a KASAN report:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x76/0xe0
  Call Trace:
   _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x76/0xe0
   try_to_wake_up+0xab/0x1540
   rcuwait_wake_up+0x39/0x60
   futex_requeue+0x18c3/0x1e10

The futex_q used by futex_wait_requeue_pi() is allocated on the waiter's
stack. An early wakeup can race with a PI requeue as follows:

        waiter                          requeue task
        ------                          ------------
futex_wait_requeue_pi()
  futex_do_wait()
    schedule()

        * timeout/signal wakes waiter *

  futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync()
    IN_PROGRESS -> WAIT
    rcuwait_wait_event()
                                        requeue_pi_wake_futex()
                                          task = READ_ONCE(q->task)
                                          futex_requeue_pi_complete()
                                            WAIT -> LOCKED
    return LOCKED
  return
// q lifetime ends
                                            rcuwait_wake_up()

futex_requeue_pi_complete() publishes LOCKED before calling
rcuwait_wake_up(). Once the waiter observes LOCKED, it can return from
futex_wait_requeue_pi() and let q go out of scope before rcuwait_wake_up()
reads q->requeue_wait.task and passes the stale pointer to
try_to_wake_up().

Skip rcuwait_wake_up() for Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED. This state is only
published by requeue_pi_wake_futex(), which saves q->task before
futex_requeue_pi_complete() and calls wake_up_state(task, TASK_NORMAL)
afterwards. If the waiter is already blocked in rcuwait_wait_event(),
TASK_NORMAL includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and wakes it. If the wakeup
runs before the waiter blocks, the waiter observes LOCKED and does not
schedule. The other completion states retain their rcuwait wakeup.
