scx: fix NULL pointer dereference with scx_exit_info
Trying to load multiple schedulers at the same time can trigger the following NULL pointer dereference: [22053.942960] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [22053.942966] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [22053.942968] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [22053.942969] PGD 0 P4D 0 [22053.942972] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [22053.942976] CPU: 6 PID: 3550 Comm: sched_ext_ops_h Tainted: G O 6.7.0-4-generic #4+scx3-Ubuntu [22053.942978] Hardware name: GPD G1621-02/G1621-02, BIOS 2.04 09/01/2022 [22053.942980] Sched_ext: central (enabled+all) [22053.942981] RIP: 0010:scx_ops_disable_workfn+0x85/0x610 [22053.942987] Code: 89 df f3 48 ab b9 01 00 00 00 83 fa 01 0f 86 c3 00 00 00 89 d0 f0 0f b1 0d 60 ff 11 02 0f 85 10 05 00 00 48 8b 85 90 fe ff ff <89> 10 81 fa 00 04 00 00 0f 84 ef 04 00 00 0f 8e cb 00 00 00 48 c7 [22053.942989] RSP: 0018:ffffad420257fd30 EFLAGS: 00010246 [22053.942991] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffad420257fd58 RCX: 0000000000000001 [22053.942993] RDX: 0000000000000040 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffad420257fd98 [22053.942994] RBP: ffffad420257fea8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [22053.942996] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffffad420257fd98 [22053.942998] R13: ffff96a4d07eddc0 R14: ffff96a4d07eddc4 R15: ffffffff8897c3b0 [22053.942999] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff96a7dfb00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [22053.943002] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [22053.943003] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 00000001f6a3c001 CR4: 0000000000f70ef0 [22053.943005] PKRU: 55555554 [22053.943006] Call Trace: [22053.943008] <TASK> [22053.943012] ? show_regs+0x6d/0x80 [22053.943016] ? __die+0x24/0x80 [22053.943018] ? page_fault_oops+0x99/0x1b0 [22053.943021] ? do_user_addr_fault+0x2ee/0x6b0 [22053.943024] ? exc_page_fault+0x83/0x1b0 [22053.943028] ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30 [22053.943030] ? __pfx_scx_ops_disable_workfn+0x10/0x10 [22053.943034] ? scx_ops_disable_workfn+0x85/0x610 [22053.943036] ? asm_sysvec_irq_work+0x1b/0x20 [22053.943042] ? __pfx_scx_ops_disable_workfn+0x10/0x10 [22053.943043] kthread_worker_fn+0x9e/0x230 [22053.943048] ? __pfx_kthread_worker_fn+0x10/0x10 [22053.943050] kthread+0xef/0x120 [22053.943053] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [22053.943056] ret_from_fork+0x44/0x70 [22053.943058] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [22053.943061] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 [22053.943064] </TASK> This happens because in scx_ops_enable(), if a scheduler is already running, we are freeing scx_exit_info, that is still owned by the running scheduler. Therefore, as soon as we stop the running scheduler we can hit the NULL pointer dereference. Reproducer: - start any scheduler - try to start another scheduler - stop the running scheduler - BUG Fix this by not freeing scx_exit_info in error path of scx_ops_enable() when there is a running scheduler.
