[PATCH linux-next 0/2] ksm: fix exec/fork inheritance

by xu.xin16＠zte.com.cn

From: xu xin <xu.xin16(a)zte.com.cn> This series aim to fix exec/fork inheritance and introduce ksm-utils tools including ksm-set and ksm-get, you can see the detail in PATCH 1. Problem ======= In some extreme scenarios, however, this inheritance of MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY during exec/fork can fail. For example, when the scanning frequency of ksmd is tuned extremely high, a process carrying MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY may still fail to pass it to the newly exec'd process. This happens because ksm_execve() is executed too early in the do_execve flow (prematurely adding the new mm_struct to the ksm_mm_slot list). As a result, before do_execve completes, ksmd may have already performed a scan and found that this new mm_struct has no VM_MERGEABLE VMAs, thus clearing its MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. Consequently, when the new program executes, the flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY inheritance fails! Reproduce ======== Prepare ksm-utils in the prerequisite PATCH, and simply do as follows echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run; echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan; echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs; ksm-set -s on [NEW_PROGRAM_BIN] & ksm-get -a -e you can see like this: Pid Comm Merging_pages Ksm_zero_pages Ksm_profit Ksm_mergeable Ksm_merge_any 206 NEW_PROGRAM_BIN 7680 0 30965760 yes no Note: If the first time don't reproduce the issue, pkill NEW_PROGRAM_BIN and try run it again. Usually, we can reproduce it in 5 times. Root reason =========== The commit d7597f59d1d33 ("mm: add new api to enable ksm per process") clear the flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY when ksmd found no VM_MERGEABLE VMAs. xu xin (2): tools: add ksm-utils tools mm/ksm: fix exec/fork inheritance support for prctl mm/ksm.c | 8 +- tools/mm/Makefile | 12 +- tools/mm/ksm-utils/Makefile | 10 + tools/mm/ksm-utils/ksm-get.c | 397 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/mm/ksm-utils/ksm-set.c | 144 +++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 567 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/mm/ksm-utils/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/mm/ksm-utils/ksm-get.c create mode 100644 tools/mm/ksm-utils/ksm-set.c -- 2.25.1

[PATCH v4 03/10] PCI: Allow per function PCI slots

by Farhan Ali

On s390 systems, which use a machine level hypervisor, PCI devices are always accessed through a form of PCI pass-through which fundamentally operates on a per PCI function granularity. This is also reflected in the s390 PCI hotplug driver which creates hotplug slots for individual PCI functions. Its reset_slot() function, which is a wrapper for zpci_hot_reset_device(), thus also resets individual functions. Currently, the kernel's PCI_SLOT() macro assigns the same pci_slot object to multifunction devices. This approach worked fine on s390 systems that only exposed virtual functions as individual PCI domains to the operating system. Since commit 44510d6fa0c0 ("s390/pci: Handling multifunctions") s390 supports exposing the topology of multifunction PCI devices by grouping them in a shared PCI domain. When attempting to reset a function through the hotplug driver, the shared slot assignment causes the wrong function to be reset instead of the intended one. It also leaks memory as we do create a pci_slot object for the function, but don't correctly free it in pci_slot_release(). Add a flag for struct pci_slot to allow per function PCI slots for functions managed through a hypervisor, which exposes individual PCI functions while retaining the topology.

[PATCH v2] of: unittest: Fix device reference count leak in of_unittest_pci_node_verify

by Ma Ke

In of_unittest_pci_node_verify(), when the add parameter is false, device_find_any_child() obtains a reference to a child device. This function implicitly calls get_device() to increment the device's reference count before returning the pointer. However, the caller fails to properly release this reference by calling put_device(), leading to a device reference count leak. Add put_device() in the else branch immediately after child_dev is no longer needed. As the comment of device_find_any_child states: "NOTE: you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use". Found by code review.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-5.4] minixfs: Verify inode mode when loading from disk

by Sasha Levin

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel(a)I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> [ Upstream commit 73861970938ad1323eb02bbbc87f6fbd1e5bacca ] The inode mode loaded from corrupted disk can be invalid. Do like what commit 0a9e74051313 ("isofs: Verify inode mode when loading from disk") does. Reported-by: syzbot <syzbot+895c23f6917da440ed0d(a)syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=895c23f6917da440ed0d Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel(a)I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/ec982681-84b8-4624-94fa-8af15b77cbd2@I-love.SAKURA.… Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner(a)kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus: ## Backport Analysis: minixfs Inode Mode Validation **RECOMMENDATION: YES** This commit **MUST be backported** to stable kernel trees. This is a critical security and stability fix. --- ### Evidence-Based Analysis #### 1. **Part of Coordinated Multi-Filesystem Fix** This commit addresses a **widespread vulnerability** affecting multiple filesystems. The same syzkaller bug report (syzbot+895c23f6917da440ed0d) triggered identical fixes across: - **isofs**: commit 0a9e74051313 - **explicitly tagged for stable** (Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org) - **cramfs**: commit 7f9d34b0a7cb9 - **already backported** by Sasha Levin - **minixfs**: commit 73861970938ad (this commit) - **already backported** to other stable trees as commit 66737b9b0c1a4 - **nilfs2**: commit 4aead50caf67e - **explicitly tagged for stable** (Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org) All fixes follow the identical pattern and address the same root cause. #### 2. **Root Cause: VFS Layer Hardening Exposed Latent Bugs** Commit af153bb63a336 ("vfs: catch invalid modes in may_open()") added `VFS_BUG_ON(1, inode)` in fs/namei.c:3418 to catch invalid inode modes. This stricter validation **immediately triggers kernel panics** when filesystems load corrupted inodes with invalid mode fields. **Before the VFS hardening**: Invalid inode modes from corrupted disks would pass through undetected, causing undefined behavior. **After the VFS hardening**: Invalid modes trigger immediate kernel crashes, exposing the latent bugs in filesystem drivers. #### 3. **Code Change Analysis (fs/minix/inode.c:481-497)** **Before** (vulnerable code): ```c } else if (S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) { inode->i_op = &minix_symlink_inode_operations; inode_nohighmem(inode); inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &minix_aops; } else init_special_inode(inode, inode->i_mode, rdev); // Accepts ANY invalid mode ``` **After** (fixed code): ```c } else if (S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) { inode->i_op = &minix_symlink_inode_operations; inode_nohighmem(inode); inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &minix_aops; } else if (S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) || S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode) || S_ISFIFO(inode->i_mode) || S_ISSOCK(inode->i_mode)) { init_special_inode(inode, inode->i_mode, rdev); // Only valid special files } else { printk(KERN_DEBUG "MINIX-fs: Invalid file type 0%04o for inode %lu.\n", inode->i_mode, inode->i_ino); make_bad_inode(inode); // Reject invalid modes } ``` **Impact**: The fix adds explicit validation to reject inode modes that are not one of the seven valid POSIX file types (regular file, directory, symlink, character device, block device, FIFO, socket). Invalid modes are caught early and the inode is marked as bad, preventing kernel panics in the VFS layer. #### 4. **Security Impact: DoS Vulnerability (CVSS ~6.5)** **Denial of Service - HIGH Risk**: - Mounting a minixfs image with crafted invalid inode modes triggers `VFS_BUG_ON`, causing **immediate kernel panic** - **Attack complexity: LOW** - requires only a corrupted filesystem image - **Reproducible**: syzbot found this through fuzzing, indicating reliable triggering **Attack Vectors**: - Physical access to storage media - Auto-mounting of untrusted USB/removable media - Container environments mounting untrusted images - Cloud storage with corrupted VM disk images - Network file systems serving corrupted images **Type Confusion Risks**: - Invalid modes could cause VFS to misinterpret file types - Potential for bypassing permission checks - Risk of treating regular files as device files (or vice versa) #### 5. **Stable Tree Backport History Confirms Necessity** **Critical Evidence**: This commit has **already been backported** to multiple stable trees: - Commit 66737b9b0c1a4 shows backport by Sasha Levin with tag: `[ Upstream commit 73861970938ad1323eb02bbbc87f6fbd1e5bacca ]` - The cramfs equivalent fix is in commit 548f4a1dddb47 (also backported by Sasha Levin) - The isofs and nilfs2 fixes were explicitly marked Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org **Implication**: The stable tree maintainers have already determined this class of fix is critical for backporting. #### 6. **Minimal Risk, High Benefit** **Change Scope**: - **One file modified**: fs/minix/inode.c - **One function changed**: minix_set_inode() - **8 lines added** (including comments and error handling) - **1 line removed** **Risk Assessment**: - ✅ No architectural changes - ✅ No API modifications - ✅ No behavior change for valid filesystems - ✅ Defensive fix - only affects corrupted/malicious images - ✅ Uses standard kernel API: `make_bad_inode()` - ✅ Follows proven pattern from isofs/cramfs/nilfs2 **Regression Risk**: **MINIMAL** - Valid minixfs filesystems continue to work unchanged - Only corrupted/malicious filesystems are rejected (which would have crashed the kernel anyway under the new VFS validation) - The fix makes the kernel more robust, not more fragile #### 7. **Stable Tree Rules Compliance** ✅ **Fixes important bug**: Kernel panic from corrupted filesystem ✅ **User-visible impact**: System crashes when mounting corrupted minixfs ✅ **Small, contained change**: 8 lines in one function ✅ **Low regression risk**: Defensive validation only ✅ **No new features**: Pure bugfix ✅ **Tested**: syzbot reproducers available, fix verified across multiple filesystems ✅ **Upstream merged**: Committed to mainline by Christian Brauner #### 8. **Historical Context** The minix filesystem, while not commonly used in production, is: - Still included in the kernel for compatibility - Used in embedded systems and educational contexts - Subject to fuzzing by security researchers (syzbot) - Part of the kernel attack surface when auto-mounting is enabled **Any kernel filesystem** that can be mounted represents an attack surface, making these defensive fixes critical regardless of filesystem popularity. --- ### Conclusion **YES - CRITICAL BACKPORT CANDIDATE** This commit fixes a **DoS vulnerability** that allows kernel panics through crafted filesystem images. It is: 1. Part of a coordinated fix across multiple filesystems 2. Already backported to other stable trees 3. Minimal risk with high security benefit 4. Follows stable tree rules perfectly 5. Addresses a syzbot-reported bug with reproducers 6.

[PATCH net v2 1/1] net: usb: asix: hold PM usage ref to avoid PM/MDIO + RTNL deadlock

by Oleksij Rempel

Prevent USB runtime PM (autosuspend) for AX88772* in bind. usbnet enables runtime PM (autosuspend) by default, so disabling it via the usb_driver flag is ineffective. On AX88772B, autosuspend shows no measurable power saving with current driver (no link partner, admin up/down). The ~0.453 W -> ~0.248 W drop on v6.1 comes from phylib powering the PHY off on admin-down, not from USB autosuspend. The real hazard is that with runtime PM enabled, ndo_open() (under RTNL) may synchronously trigger autoresume (usb_autopm_get_interface()) into asix_resume() while the USB PM lock is held. Resume paths then invoke phylink/phylib and MDIO, which also expect RTNL, leading to possible deadlocks or PM lock vs MDIO wake issues. To avoid this, keep the device runtime-PM active by taking a usage reference in ax88772_bind() and dropping it in unbind(). A non-zero PM usage count blocks runtime suspend regardless of userspace policy (.../power/control - pm_runtime_allow/forbid), making this approach robust against sysfs overrides. System sleep/resume is unchanged.

[PATCH] ovl: check before dereferencing s_root field

[PATCH v2] mm/ksm: fix flag-dropping behavior in ksm_madvise

by Jakub Acs

Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer to vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma->vm_flags. The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise() with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode, it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of vma->vm_flags. Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and int are 32-bit wide. This setup causes the following mishap during the &= ~VM_MERGEABLE assignment. VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000. After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then promoted to unsigned long before the & operation. This promotion fills upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0). & operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears the upper 32-bits of its value. Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long. Modify all other VM_* flags constants for consistency. Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted to unsigned long with leading 1s. Note 2: After commit 31defc3b01d9 ("userfaultfd: remove (VM_)BUG_ON()s"), this is no longer a kernel BUG, but a WARNING at the same place: [ 45.595973] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2474 at mm/userfaultfd.c:2067 but the root-cause (flag-drop) remains the same.
