El remitente (do_mq_timedsend) usa esta direcci\u00f3n para luego llamar a pipelined_send. Esto conduce a una ejecuci\u00f3n muy dif\u00edcil de desencadenar en la que una llamada do_mq_timedreceive puede regresar y dejar que do_mq_timedsend dependa de una direcci\u00f3n no v\u00e1lida, lo que provoca el siguiente bloqueo: RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60 Seguimiento de llamadas: __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490 do_syscall_64+0x80 /0x680 Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343 La ejecuci\u00f3n ocurre como: 1. do_mq_timedreceive llama a wq_sleep con la direcci\u00f3n de `struct ext_wait_queue` en la pila de funciones (alias `ewq_addr` aqu\u00ed): contiene una `struct ext_wait_queue * v\u00e1lida ` siempre y cuando la pila no haya sido sobrescrita. 2. `ewq_addr` se agrega a info-\u0026gt;e_wait_q[RECV].list en wq_add, y do_mq_timedsend lo recibe a trav\u00e9s de wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) para llamar a __pipelined_op. 3. El remitente llama a __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(\u0026amp;this-\u0026gt;state, STATE_READY). Aqu\u00ed es donde comienza la ventana de ejecuci\u00f3n. (`esto` es `ewq_addr`.) 4. Si el receptor se activa ahora en do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, ver\u00e1 `state == STATE_READY` y se interrumpir\u00e1. 5. do_mq_timedreceive regresa y ya no se garantiza que `ewq_addr` sea una `struct ext_wait_queue *` ya que estaba en la pila de do_mq_timedreceive. (Aunque es posible que la direcci\u00f3n no se sobrescriba hasta que otra funci\u00f3n la toque, lo que significa que puede persistir por un tiempo indefinido). 6. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() todav\u00eda cree que `ewq_addr` es una `struct ext_wait_queue *`, y lo usa para encontrar una task_struct para pasar a la llamada wake_q_add_safe. En el afortunado caso de que nada haya sobrescrito `ewq_addr` todav\u00eda, `ewq_addr-\u0026gt;task` es la estructura de tarea correcta. En el desafortunado caso, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe recibe una direcci\u00f3n falsa como la task_struct del receptor que causa el bloqueo. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() no debe eliminar la referencia a \\\"esto\\\" despu\u00e9s de configurar STATE_READY, ya que la contraparte del receptor ahora puede regresar.
