Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: fix pcluster use-after-free on UP platforms

During stress testing with CONFIG_SMP disabled, KASAN reports as below:

================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __mutex_lock+0xe5/0xc30 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881094223f8 by task stress/7789

CPU: 0 PID: 7789 Comm: stress Not tainted 6.0.0-rc1-00002-g0d53d2e882f9 #3 Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011 Call Trace: <TASK> .. __mutex_lock+0xe5/0xc30 .. z_erofs_do_read_page+0x8ce/0x1560 .. z_erofs_readahead+0x31c/0x580 ..

The root cause is that erofs_workgroup_unfreeze() doesn't reset to orig_val thus it causes a race that the pcluster reuses unexpectedly before freeing.

Since UP platforms are quite rare now, such path becomes unnecessary. Let's drop such specific-designed path directly instead.
