[PATCH v3] md/raid1: Fix stack memory use after return in raid1_reshape

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the raid1_reshape function, newpool is
allocated on the stack and assigned to conf->r1bio_pool.
This results in conf->r1bio_pool.wait.head pointing
to a stack address.
Accessing this address later can lead to a kernel panic.

Example access path:

raid1_reshape()
{
	// newpool is on the stack
	mempool_t newpool, oldpool;
	// initialize newpool.wait.head to stack address
	mempool_init(&newpool, ...);
	conf->r1bio_pool = newpool;
}

raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request()
{
	alloc_r1bio()
	{
		mempool_alloc()
		{
			// if pool->alloc fails
			remove_element()
			{
				--pool->curr_nr;
			}
		}
	}
}

mempool_free()
{
	if (pool->curr_nr < pool->min_nr) {
		// pool->wait.head is a stack address
		// wake_up() will try to access this invalid address
		// which leads to a kernel panic
		return;
		wake_up(&pool->wait);
	}
}

Fix:
reinit conf->r1bio_pool.wait after assigning newpool.
