futex: Fix more put_pi_state() vs. exit_pi_state_list() races
Dmitry (through syzbot) reported being able to trigger the WARN in get_pi_state() and a use-after-free on: raw_spin_lock_irq(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); Both are due to this race: exit_pi_state_list() put_pi_state() lock(&curr->pi_lock) while() { pi_state = list_first_entry(head); hb = hash_futex(&pi_state->key); unlock(&curr->pi_lock); dec_and_test(&pi_state->refcount); lock(&hb->lock) lock(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock) // uaf if pi_state free'd lock(&curr->pi_lock); .... unlock(&curr->pi_lock); get_pi_state(); // WARN; refcount==0 The problem is we take the reference count too late, and don't allow it being 0. Fix it by using inc_not_zero() and simply retrying the loop when we fail to get a refcount. In that case put_pi_state() should remove the entry from the list.
