audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow
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. kernel BUG at fs/namei.c:262!
