Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows: INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
Call trace: __switch_to+0x98/0xe0 __schedule+0x6c4/0xf40 schedule+0xd8/0x1b4 schedule_timeout+0x474/0x560 wait_for_common+0x368/0x4e0 wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30 wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30 test_aead_vec_cfg+0xab4/0xd50 test_aead+0x144/0x1f0 alg_test_aead+0xd8/0x1e0 alg_test+0x634/0x890 cryptomgr_test+0x40/0x70 kthread+0x1e0/0x220 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask. The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel) | rcu_read_lock_bh(); | err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace) | pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET; err = -EBUSY | if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) | rcu_read_unlock_bh() | return err In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again. v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: crypto: pcrypt - Reparar hungtask para PADATA_RESET. Encontramos un error de hungtask en test_aead_vec_cfg de la siguiente manera: INFORMACIÓN: tarea cryptomgr_test:391009 bloqueada durante más de 120 segundos. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" desactiva este mensaje. Seguimiento de llamadas: __switch_to+0x98/0xe0 __schedule+0x6c4/0xf40 Schedule+0xd8/0x1b4 Schedule_timeout+0x474/0x560 wait_for_common+0x368/0x4e0 wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30 wait_for_completion+0x20/0x30 test_aead_ve c_cfg+0xab4/0xd50 test_aead+0x144/0x1f0 alg_test_aead+ 0xd8/0x1e0 alg_test+0x634/0x890 cryptomgr_test+0x40/0x70 kthread+0x1e0/0x220 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 kernel panic - no syncing: hung_task: tareas bloqueadas para el error for_completion (&esperar->finalización) en test_aead_vec_cfg. En caso normal, se llamará aead_request_complete() en pcrypt_aead_serial y el error de retorno es 0 para padata_do_parallel. Pero, cuando pinst->flags es PADATA_RESET, el error de retorno es -EBUSY para padata_do_parallel y no llamará a aead_request_complete(). Por lo tanto, test_aead_vec_cfg se colgará en wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), lo que provocará que se cuelgue la tarea. El problema viene de la siguiente manera: (padata_do_parallel) | rcu_read_lock_bh(); | err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace) | pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET; err = -EBUSY | si (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) | rcu_read_unlock_bh() | return err Para resolver el problema, reemplazamos el retorno err -EBUSY con -EAGAIN, lo que significa que los datos_paralelos están cambiando y la persona que llama debe llamarlo nuevamente. v3: elimine el reintento y simplemente cambie el error de devolución. v2: introduce padata_try_do_parallel() en pcrypt_aead_encrypt y pcrypt_aead_decrypt para resolver la tarea colgada.
