🛡️ CVE-2023-54293 — kernel

bcache: fixup btree_cache_wait list damage

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

bcache: fixup btree_cache_wait list damage

We get a kernel crash about "list_add corruption. next->prev should be

prev (ffff9c801bc01210), but was ffff9c77b688237c.

(next=ffffae586d8afe68)."

bch_btree_check_thread() and bch_dirty_init_thread() may call

mca_cannibalize() to cannibalize other cached btree nodes. Only one thread

can do it at a time, so the op of other threads will be added to the

btree_cache_wait list.

We must call finish_wait() to remove op from btree_cache_wait before free

it's memory address. Otherwise, the list will be damaged. Also should call

bch_cannibalize_unlock() to release the btree_cache_alloc_lock and wake_up

other waiters.
