"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrefscale: Fix uninitalized use of wait_queue_head_t\n\nRunning the refscale test occasionally crashes the kernel with the\nfollowing error:\n\n[ 8569.952896] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffe8\n[ 8569.952900] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n[ 8569.952902] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n[ 8569.952904] PGD c4b048067 P4D c4b049067 PUD c4b04b067 PMD 0\n[ 8569.952910] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP NOPTI\n[ 8569.952916] Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R750/0WMWCR, BIOS 1.2.4 05/28/2021\n[ 8569.952917] RIP: 0010:prepare_to_wait_event+0x101/0x190\n :\n[ 8569.952940] Call Trace:\n[ 8569.952941] <TASK>\n[ 8569.952944] ref_scale_reader+0x380/0x4a0 [refscale]\n[ 8569.952959] kthread+0x10e/0x130\n[ 8569.952966] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30\n[ 8569.952973] </TASK>\n\nThe likely cause is that init_waitqueue_head() is called after the call to\nthe torture_create_kthread() function that creates the ref_scale_reader\nkthread. Although this init_waitqueue_head() call will very likely\ncomplete before this kthread is created and starts running, it is\npossible that the calling kthread will be delayed between the calls to\ntorture_create_kthread() and init_waitqueue_head(). In this case, the\nnew kthread will use the waitqueue head before it is properly initialized,\nwhich is not good for the kernel's health and well-being.\n\nThe above crash happened here:\n\n\tstatic inline void __add_wait_queue(...)\n\t{\n\t\t:\n\t\tif (!(wq->flags & WQ_FLAG_PRIORITY)) <=== Crash here\n\nThe offset of flags from list_head entry in wait_queue_entry is\n-0x18. If reader_tasks[i].wq.head.next is NULL as allocated reader_task\nstructure is zero initialized, the instruction will try to access address\n0xffffffffffffffe8, which is exactly the fault address listed above.\n\nThis commit therefore invokes init_waitqueue_head() before creating\nthe kthread."
