[PATCH cgroup/for-6.18-fixes] cgroup: Skip showing PID 0 in cgroup.procs and cgroup.threads

by Tejun Heo

css_task_iter_next() pins and returns a task, but the task can do whatever between that and cgroup_procs_show() being called, including dying and losing its PID. When that happens, task_pid_vnr() returns 0. d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching out") makes this more likely as tasks now stay iterable with css_task_iter_next() until the last schedule is complete, which can be after the task has lost its PID. Showing "0" in cgroup.procs or cgroup.threads is confusing and can lead to surprising outcomes. For example, if a user tries to kill PID 0, it kills all processes in the current process group. Skip entries with PID 0 by returning SEQ_SKIP.

The repeated swap device pinning isn't needed on the same swap device. Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on another device without holding a reference to it. So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real issues. Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap device is a different one from the target entry.

[PATCH 6.1] lib/crypto: arm/curve25519: Disable on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN

by Eric Biggers

commit 44e8241c51f762aafa50ed116da68fd6ecdcc954 upstream. On big endian arm kernels, the arm optimized Curve25519 code produces incorrect outputs and fails the Curve25519 test. This has been true ever since this code was added. It seems that hardly anyone (or even no one?) actually uses big endian arm kernels. But as long as they're ostensibly supported, we should disable this code on them so that it's not accidentally used. Note: for future-proofing, use !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN instead of CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. Both of these are arch-specific options that could get removed in the future if big endian support gets dropped.

[PATCH v2 1/1] fuse: fix readahead reclaim deadlock

by Joanne Koong

Commit e26ee4efbc79 ("fuse: allocate ff->release_args only if release is needed") skips allocating ff->release_args if the server does not implement open. However in doing so, fuse_prepare_release() now skips grabbing the reference on the inode, which makes it possible for an inode to be evicted from the dcache while there are inflight readahead requests. This causes a deadlock if the server triggers reclaim while servicing the readahead request and reclaim attempts to evict the inode of the file being read ahead. Since the folio is locked during readahead, when reclaim evicts the fuse inode and fuse_evict_inode() attempts to remove all folios associated with the inode from the page cache (truncate_inode_pages_range()), reclaim will block forever waiting for the lock since readahead cannot relinquish the lock because it is itself blocked in reclaim: >>> stack_trace(1504735) folio_wait_bit_common (mm/filemap.c:1308:4) folio_lock (./include/linux/pagemap.h:1052:3) truncate_inode_pages_range (mm/truncate.c:336:10) fuse_evict_inode (fs/fuse/inode.c:161:2) evict (fs/inode.c:704:3) dentry_unlink_inode (fs/dcache.c:412:3) __dentry_kill (fs/dcache.c:615:3) shrink_kill (fs/dcache.c:1060:12) shrink_dentry_list (fs/dcache.c:1087:3) prune_dcache_sb (fs/dcache.c:1168:2) super_cache_scan (fs/super.c:221:10) do_shrink_slab (mm/shrinker.c:435:9) shrink_slab (mm/shrinker.c:626:10) shrink_node (mm/vmscan.c:5951:2) shrink_zones (mm/vmscan.c:6195:3) do_try_to_free_pages (mm/vmscan.c:6257:3) do_swap_page (mm/memory.c:4136:11) handle_pte_fault (mm/memory.c:5562:10) handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:5870:9) do_user_addr_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1338:10) handle_page_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1481:3) exc_page_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1539:2) asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x27 Fix this deadlock by allocating ff->release_args and grabbing the reference on the inode when preparing the file for release even if the server does not implement open.

[PATCH] coresight: etm-perf: Fix reference count leak in etm_setup_aux

by Ma Ke

In etm_setup_aux(), when a user sink is obtained via coresight_get_sink_by_id(), it increments the reference count of the sink device. However, if the sink is used in path building, the path holds a reference, but the initial reference from coresight_get_sink_by_id() is not released, causing a reference count leak. We should release the initial reference after the path is built. Found by code review.
