In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust_binder: remove spin_lock() in rust_shrink_free_page()
When forward-porting Rust Binder to 6.18, I neglected to take commit fb56fdf8b9a2 (mm/list_lru: split the lock to per-cgroup scope) into account, and apparently I did not end up running the shrinker callback when I sanity tested the driver before submission. This leads to crashes like the following:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.18.0-mainline-maybe-dirty #1 Tainted: G IO
--------------------------------------------
kswapd0/68 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff956000fa18b0 (&l->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: lock_list_lru_of_memcg+0x128/0x230
but task is already holding lock:
ffff956000fa18b0 (&l->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: rust_helper_spin_lock+0xd/0x20
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&l->lock);
lock(&l->lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
3 locks held by kswapd0/68:
#0: ffffffff90d2e260 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: kswapd+0x597/0x1160
#1: ffff956000fa18b0 (&l->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: rust_helper_spin_lock+0xd/0x20
#2: ffffffff90cf3680 (rcu_read_lock){....}-{1:2}, at: lock_list_lru_of_memcg+0x2d/0x230
To fix this, remove the spin_lock() call from rust_shrink_free_page().
