"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nlocking/qrwlock: Fix ordering in queued_write_lock_slowpath()\n\nWhile this code is executed with the wait_lock held, a reader can\nacquire the lock without holding wait_lock. The writer side loops\nchecking the value with the atomic_cond_read_acquire(), but only truly\nacquires the lock when the compare-and-exchange is completed\nsuccessfully which isn’t ordered. This exposes the window between the\nacquire and the cmpxchg to an A-B-A problem which allows reads\nfollowing the lock acquisition to observe values speculatively before\nthe write lock is truly acquired.\n\nWe've seen a problem in epoll where the reader does a xchg while\nholding the read lock, but the writer can see a value change out from\nunder it.\n\n Writer | Reader\n --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n ep_scan_ready_list() |\n |- write_lock_irq() |\n |- queued_write_lock_slowpath() |\n\t|- atomic_cond_read_acquire() |\n\t\t\t\t | read_lock_irqsave(&ep->lock, flags);\n --> (observes value before unlock) | chain_epi_lockless()\n | | epi->next = xchg(&ep->ovflist, epi);\n | | read_unlock_irqrestore(&ep->lock, flags);\n | |\n | atomic_cmpxchg_relaxed() |\n |-- READ_ONCE(ep->ovflist); |\n\nA core can order the read of the ovflist ahead of the\natomic_cmpxchg_relaxed(). Switching the cmpxchg to use acquire\nsemantics addresses this issue at which point the atomic_cond_read can\nbe switched to use relaxed semantics.\n\n[peterz: use try_cmpxchg()]"
