[PATCH v3] kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group
From: Zhang Qiao
Date: Wed Sep 15 2021 - 02:40:46 EST
There is a small race between copy_process() and sched_fork()
where child->sched_task_group point to an already freed pointer.
parent doing fork() | someone moving the parent
to another cgroup
-------------------------------+-------------------------------
copy_process()
+ dup_task_struct()<1>
parent move to another cgroup,
and free the old cgroup. <2>
+ sched_fork()
+ __set_task_cpu()<3>
+ task_fork_fair()
+ sched_slice()<4>
In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and
cause panic as shown above,
(1)parent copy its sched_task_group to child at <1>;
(2)someone move the parent to another cgroup and free the old
cgroup at <2>;
(3)the sched_task_group and cfs_rq that belong to the old cgroup
will be accessed at <3> and <4>, which cause a panic:

Between cgroup_can_fork() and cgroup_post_fork(), the cgroup
membership and thus sched_task_group can't change. So update
child's sched_task_group at sched_post_fork() and move task_fork()
and __set_task_cpu() (where accees the sched_task_group) from
sched_fork() to sched_post_fork().
