If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit b3eaa9fc5cd0a4d74b18f6b8dc617aeaf1873270 upstream. We need to protect the atomic acquisition in the kernel against rogue user space which sets the user space futex to 0, so the kernel side acquisition succeeds while there is existing state in the kernel associated to the real owner. Verify whether the futex has waiters associated with kernel state. If it has, return -EINVAL. The state is corrupted already, so no point in cleaning it up. Subsequent calls will fail as well. Not our problem. [ tglx: Use futex_top_waiter() and explain why we do not need to try restoring the already corrupted user space state. ] Signed-off-by: Darren Hart Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Will Drewry Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby --- kernel/futex.c | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/futex.c b/kernel/futex.c index ab207d65c55f..2f48beac4969 100644 --- a/kernel/futex.c +++ b/kernel/futex.c @@ -764,10 +764,18 @@ retry: return -EDEADLK; /* - * Surprise - we got the lock.
