    audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow · 03adc61e
    Dan Clash authored
    An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
    from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.
    
    A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
    IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.
    
    These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.
    
    do_syscall_64()
      __do_sys_io_uring_enter()
        io_submit_sqes()
          io_openat_prep()
            __io_openat_prep()
              getname()
                getname_flags()       /* update 1 (increment) */
                  __audit_getname()   /* update 2 (increment) */
    
    The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
    opportunity for a race.  The system call exit performs one decrement.
    
    do_syscall_64()
      syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
        syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
          __audit_syscall_exit()
            audit_reset_context()
               putname()              /* update 3 (decrement) */
    
    The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
    These updates can race with the system call decrement.
    
    io_wqe_worker()
      io_worker_handle_work()
        io_wq_submit_work()
          io_issue_sqe()
            io_openat()
              io_openat2()
                do_filp_open()
                  path_openat()
                    __audit_inode()   /* update 4 (increment) */
                putname()             /* update 5 (decrement) */
            __audit_uring_exit()
              audit_reset_context()
                putname()             /* update 6 (decrement) */
    
    The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names
    from int to atomic_t.
