[ Upstream commit 8f91efd870ea5d8bc10b0fcc9740db51cd4c0c83 ] Race detected between psi_trigger_destroy/create as shown below, which cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. Under this modification, the race window is removed by initialising poll_wait and poll_timer in group_init which are executed only once at beginning. psi_trigger_destroy() psi_trigger_create() mutex_lock(trigger_lock); rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, NULL); mutex_unlock(trigger_lock); mutex_lock(trigger_lock); if (!rcu_access_pointer(group->poll_task)) { timer_setup(poll_timer, poll_timer_fn, 0); rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, task); } mutex_unlock(trigger_lock); synchronize_rcu(); del_timer_sync(poll_timer); <-- poll_timer has been reinitialized by psi_trigger_create() So, trigger_lock/RCU correctly protects destruction of group->poll_task but misses this race affecting poll_timer and poll_wait.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
