the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxdp: fix invalid wait context of page_pool_destroy()\n\nIf the driver uses a page pool, it creates a page pool with\npage_pool_create().\nThe reference count of page pool is 1 as default.\nA page pool will be destroyed only when a reference count reaches 0.\npage_pool_destroy() is used to destroy page pool, it decreases a\nreference count.\nWhen a page pool is destroyed, ->disconnect() is called, which is\nmem_allocator_disconnect().\nThis function internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nIf the driver uses XDP, it registers a memory model with\nxdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() internally increases a page pool\nreference count if a memory model is a page pool.\nNow the reference count is 2.\n\nTo destroy a page pool, the driver should call both page_pool_destroy()\nand xdp_unreg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_unreg_mem_model() internally calls page_pool_destroy().\nOnly page_pool_destroy() decreases a reference count.\n\nIf a driver calls page_pool_destroy() then xdp_unreg_mem_model(), we\nwill face an invalid wait context warning.\nBecause xdp_unreg_mem_model() calls page_pool_destroy() with\nrcu_read_lock().\nThe page_pool_destroy() internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nSplat looks like:\n=============================\n[ BUG: Invalid wait context

rcu_read_lock() here is safe.\nxa is freed by __xdp_mem_allocator_rcu_free() and this is called by\ncall_rcu() of mem_xa_remove().\nThe mem_xa_remove() is called by page_pool_destroy() if a reference\ncount reaches 0.\nThe xa is already protected by the reference count mechanism well in the\ncontrol plane.\nSo removing rcu_read_lock() for page_pool_destroy() is safe."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/core/xdp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"be9d08ff102df3ac4f66e826ea935cf3af63a4bd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"6c390ef198aa69795427a5cb5fd7cb4bc7e6cd7a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"3fc1be360b99baeea15cdee3cf94252cd3a72d26","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"bf0ce5aa5f2525ed1b921ba36de96e458e77f482","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"12144069209eec7f2090ce9afa15acdcc2c2a537","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3","lessThan":"59a931c5b732ca5fc2ca727f5a72aeabaafa85ec","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bf22306d92ca59c59dc4aa3bab14768948193d56","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"05f646cb2174d1a4e032b60b99097f5c4b522616","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/core/xdp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.5","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.5","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.224","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.165","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.103","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.44","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.10.3","lessThanOrEqual":"6.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.224"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.165"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.103"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.44"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.10.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.5","versionEndExcluding":"6.11"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.3.18"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.4.5"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be9d08ff102df3ac4f66e826ea935cf3af63a4bd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6c390ef198aa69795427a5cb5fd7cb4bc7e6cd7a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fc1be360b99baeea15cdee3cf94252cd3a72d26"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf0ce5aa5f2525ed1b921ba36de96e458e77f482"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12144069209eec7f2090ce9afa15acdcc2c2a537"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59a931c5b732ca5fc2ca727f5a72aeabaafa85ec"}],"title":"xdp:
