Hi everyone,

I've tried to debug this syzkaller's bug report

Here is my minimized proof-of-concept

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
#include <linux/udmabuf.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

#define err_msg(msg) do {perror(msg); exit(1);} while(0)

void *close_thread(void *arg)
{
int fd = (int) (long) arg;
close(fd);
}

int main()
{
int fd, dmabuf_fd, memfd, epoll_fd, ret;
struct udmabuf_create dmabuf_arg = {};
struct epoll_event event = {
.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLOUT,
};
pthread_t thread;

memfd = memfd_create("test", MFD_ALLOW_SEALING);
if (memfd < 0)
err_msg("memfd-create");

if (ftruncate(memfd, 0x1000) < 0)
err_msg("ftruncate");

ret = fcntl(memfd, F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_SHRINK);
if (ret < 0)
err_msg("add-seal");

fd = open("/dev/udmabuf", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
err_msg("open");

dmabuf_arg.memfd = memfd;
dmabuf_arg.size = 0x1000;
dmabuf_fd = ioctl(fd, UDMABUF_CREATE, &dmabuf_arg);
if (dmabuf_fd < 0)
err_msg("ioctl-udmabuf");

epoll_fd = epoll_create(10);
if (epoll_fd < 0)
err_msg("epoll-create");

ret = epoll_ctl(epoll_fd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, dmabuf_fd, &event);
if (ret < 0)
err_msg("epoll-ctl-add");

pthread_create(&thread, NULL, close_thread, (void *) (long) dmabuf_fd);
epoll_wait(epoll_fd, &event, 1, -1);
return 0;
}

When running the above proof-of-concept on Linux 6.9.0-rc6 with KASAN and the
following patch for easier reproducible, I got the KASAN bug report

==================================================================

Root cause:
AFAIK, eventpoll (epoll) does not increase the registered file's reference.
To ensure the safety, when the registered file is deallocated in __fput,
eventpoll_release is called to unregister the file from epoll. When calling
poll on epoll, epoll will loop through registered files and call vfs_poll on
these files. In the file's poll, file is guaranteed to be alive, however, as
epoll does not increase the registered file's reference, the file may be dying
and it's not safe the get the file for later use. And dma_buf_poll violates
this. In the dma_buf_poll, it tries to get_file to use in the callback. This
leads to a race where the dmabuf->file can be fput twice.

Here is the race occurs in the above proof-of-concept

close(dmabuf->file)
__fput_sync (f_count == 1, last ref)
f_count-- (f_count == 0 now)
__fput
epoll_wait
vfs_poll(dmabuf->file)
get_file(dmabuf->file)(f_count == 1)
eventpoll_release
dmabuf->file deallocation
fput(dmabuf->file) (f_count == 1)
f_count--
dmabuf->file deallocation

I am not familiar with the dma_buf so I don't know the proper fix for the
issue. About the rule that don't get the file for later use in poll callback of
file, I wonder if it is there when only select/poll exist or just after epoll
appears.

I hope the analysis helps us to fix the issue.

Thanks,
Quang Minh.
