files_cgroup: fix error pointer when kvm_vm_worker_thread
hulk inclusion
category: bugfix
bugzilla: NA
CVE: NA
---------------------------
When fix CVE-2018-12207, the kvm_vm_worker_thread will attach all
cgroup subsystem. But the files cgroup doesn't support kernel thread.
Because the init_files doesn't init the files cgroup, when kernel thread
'kvm_vm_worker_thread' attach the files cgroup, the files_cgroup
get from 'init_files' is an error pointer. It lead the kernel panic
as below:
[ 724.842302] page_counter_uncharge+0x1d/0x30
[ 724.842431] files_cgroup_attach+0x7c/0x130
[ 724.842564] ? css_set_move_task+0x12e/0x230
[ 724.842694] cgroup_migrate_execute+0x2f9/0x3b0
[ 724.842833] cgroup_attach_task+0x156/0x200
[ 724.843010] ? kvm_mmu_pte_write+0x490/0x490 [kvm]
[ 724.843153] cgroup_attach_task_all+0x81/0xd0
[ 724.843289] ? __schedule+0x294/0x910
[ 724.843419] kvm_vm_worker_thread+0x4a/0xc0 [kvm]
[ 724.843579] ? kvm_exit+0x80/0x80 [kvm]
[ 724.843690] kthread+0x112/0x130
[ 724.843792] ?kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70
[ 724.843948] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40
So, we add some check, if the task is kernel thread (files is
'init_files'), we doesn't do the more operation about the
files cgroup.
