"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwriteback: report a Tasks-RCU quiescent state per cgwb drain pass\n\ncleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() drains a dying cgwb by calling\ncleanup_offline_cgwb() until it returns false, with a cond_resched()\nbetween passes. On a CONFIG_PREEMPTION kernel that cond_resched() does\nnothing: _cond_resched() is a plain \"return 0\", and under PREEMPT_DYNAMIC\nthe full and lazy modes disable it. Since commit 7dadeaa6e851 (\"sched:\nFurther restrict the preemption modes\") those are the only two models on\nthe architectures with PREEMPT_LAZY support, arm64 and x86 among them, so\nthe drain loop never reports a Tasks-RCU quiescent state.\n\nA worker draining a cgwb with millions of attached inodes runs for\nminutes. On a 6.18 arm64 host in lazy mode the cgwb worker drained one\ndying cgroup's writeback domain for over 11 minutes. A BPF program unlink\n(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog -> bpf_trampoline_update ->\nunregister_ftrace_direct -> ftrace_shutdown -> synchronize_rcu_tasks())\nwaited on that grace period while holding the trampoline mutex, 42 tasks\nqueued behind it in D state, and the hung task detector fired at 614 s and\npanicked the host. Any BPF or ftrace detach during a long drain inherits\nthe drain's length.\n\nFix this by calling cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() so we do not stall out\nanybody who calls sycnrhonize_rcu_tasks(). We put this in a do { } while\nloop because if we have many small cgroups cleanup_offline_cgwb() will\nreturn false and we will never call cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), creating\nthe same problem."
