Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: Fix task_struct reference leak
During the execution of the following stress test with linux-rt:
stress-ng --cyclic 30 --timeout 30 --minimize --quiet
kmemleak frequently reported a memory leak concerning the task_struct:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881305b8000 (size 16136):
comm "stress-ng", pid 614, jiffies 4294883961 (age 286.412s)
object hex dump (first 32 bytes):
02 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .@..............
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
debug hex dump (first 16 bytes):
53 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 S...............
backtrace:
[<00000000046b6790>] dup_task_struct+0x30/0x540
[<00000000c5ca0f0b>] copy_process+0x3d9/0x50e0
[<00000000ced59777>] kernel_clone+0xb0/0x770
[<00000000a50befdc>] __do_sys_clone+0xb6/0xf0
[<000000001dbf2008>] do_syscall_64+0x5d/0xf0
[<00000000552900ff>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
The issue occurs in start_dl_timer(), which increments the task_struct
reference count and sets a timer. The timer callback, dl_task_timer,
is supposed to decrement the reference count upon expiration. However,
if enqueue_task_dl() is called before the timer expires and cancels it,
the reference count is not decremented, leading to the leak.
This patch fixes the reference leak by ensuring the task_struct
reference count is properly decremented when the timer is canceled.
