"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrcu/rcuscale: Stop kfree_scale_thread thread(s) after unloading rcuscale\n\nRunning the 'kfree_rcu_test' test case [1] results in a splat [2].\nThe root cause is the kfree_scale_thread thread(s) continue running\nafter unloading the rcuscale module. This commit fixes that isue by\ninvoking kfree_scale_cleanup() from rcu_scale_cleanup() when removing\nthe rcuscale module.\n\n[1] modprobe rcuscale kfree_rcu_test=1\n // After some time\n rmmod rcuscale\n rmmod torture\n\n[2] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0601a87\n #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode\n #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page\n PGD 11de4f067 P4D 11de4f067 PUD 11de51067 PMD 112f4d067 PTE 0\n Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n CPU: 1 PID: 1798 Comm: kfree_scale_thr Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-rcu+ #1\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015\n RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc0601a87\n Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffc0601a5d.\n RSP: 0018:ffffb25bc2e57e18 EFLAGS: 00010297\n RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffffc061f0b6 RCX: 0000000000000000\n RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff962fd0de RDI: ffffffff962fd0de\n RBP: ffffb25bc2e57ea8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\n R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000000\n R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 000000000000000a R15: 00000000001c1dbe\n FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff921fa2200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: ffffffffc0601a5d CR3: 000000011de4c006 CR4: 0000000000370ee0\n DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\n DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n ? kvfree_call_rcu+0xf0/0x3a0\n ? kthread+0xf3/0x120\n ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20\n ? ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30\n </TASK>\n Modules linked in: rfkill sunrpc ...
