In a high-load arm64 environment, the pcrypt_aead01 test in LTP can lead to system UAF (Use-After-Free) issues. Due to the lengthy analysis of the pcrypt_aead01 function call, I'll describe the problem scenario using a simplified model: Suppose there's a user of padata named `user_function` that adheres to the padata requirement of calling `padata_free_shell` after `serial()` has been invoked, as demonstrated in the following code: ```c struct request { struct padata_priv padata; struct completion *done; }; void parallel(struct padata_priv *padata) { do_something(); } void serial(struct padata_priv *padata) { struct request *request = container_of(padata, struct request, padata); complete(request->done); } void user_function() { DECLARE_COMPLETION(done) padata->parallel = parallel; padata->serial = serial; padata_do_parallel(); wait_for_completion(&done); padata_free_shell(); } ``` In the corresponding padata.c file, there's the following code: ```c static void padata_serial_worker(struct work_struct *serial_work) { ... cnt = 0; while (!list_empty(&local_list)) { ... padata->serial(padata); cnt++; } local_bh_enable(); if (refcount_sub_and_test(cnt, &pd->refcnt)) padata_free_pd(pd); } ``` Because of the high system load and the accumulation of unexecuted softirq at this moment, `local_bh_enable()` in padata takes longer to execute than usual. Subsequently, when accessing `pd->refcnt`, `pd` has already been released by `padata_free_shell()`, resulting in a UAF issue with `pd->refcnt`. The fix is straightforward: add `refcount_dec_and_test` before calling `padata_free_pd` in `padata_free_shell`.

In normal case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause hungtask. The problem comes as following: (padata_do_parallel) | rcu_read_lock_bh(); | err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace) | pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET; err = -EBUSY | if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) | rcu_read_unlock_bh() | return err In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with -EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call it again. v3: remove retry and just change the return err. v2: introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.

This optimization causes modpost to complain since padata_work_init() is not __init, whereas padata_mt_helper() is. Since padata_work_init() is only called from __init code when padata_mt_helper() is passed as the work_fn argument, mark padata_work_init() as __ref, which makes it clear to modpost that this scenario is okay.

Sometimes the kernel doesn't take full advantage of system memory bandwidth, leading to a single CPU spending excessive time in initialization paths where the data scales with memory size. Multithreading naturally addresses this problem. Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel yet singlethreaded jobs, to also handle multithreaded jobs by adding support for splitting up the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and coordinating them. This is inspired by work from Pavel Tatashin and Steve Sistare. Signed-off-by:

padata allocates per-CPU, per-instance work structs for parallel jobs. A do_parallel call assigns a job to a sequence number and hashes the number to a CPU, where the job will eventually run using the corresponding work. This approach fit with how padata used to bind a job to each CPU round-robin, makes less sense after commit bfde23ce ("padata: unbind parallel jobs from specific CPUs") because a work isn't bound to a particular CPU anymore, and isn't needed at all for multithreaded jobs because they don't have sequence numbers. Replace the per-CPU works with a preallocated pool, which allows sharing them between existing padata users and the upcoming multithreaded user. The pool will also facilitate setting NUMA-aware concurrency limits with later users. The pool is sized according to the number of possible CPUs. With this limit, MAX_OBJ_NUM no longer makes sense, so remove it. If the global pool is exhausted, a parallel job is run in the current task instead to throttle a system trying to do too much in parallel. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "padata: parallelize deferred page init", v3. Deferred struct page init is a bottleneck in kernel boot--the biggest for us and probably others. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. So, multithread deferred init to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel singlethreaded jobs, to handle multithreaded jobs as well by adding support for splitting up the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and coordinating them. More documentation in patches 4 and 8. This series is the first step in a project to address other memory proportional bottlenecks in the kernel such as pmem struct page init, vfio page pinning, hugetlb fallocate, and munmap. Deferred page init doesn't require concurrency limits, resource control, or priority adjustments like these other users will because it happens during boot when the system is otherwise idle and waiting for page init to finish. This has been run on a variety of x86 systems and speeds up kernel boot by 4% to 49%, saving up to 1.6 out of 4 seconds. Patch 6 has more numbers. This patch (of 8): padata_driver_exit() is unnecessary because padata isn't built as a module and doesn't exit. padata's init routine will soon allocate memory, so getting rid of the exit function now avoids pointless code to free it.

If the pcrypt template is used multiple times in an algorithm, then a deadlock occurs because all pcrypt instances share the same padata_instance, which completes requests in the order submitted. That is, the inner pcrypt request waits for the outer pcrypt request while the outer request is already waiting for the inner. This patch fixes this by allocating a set of queues for each pcrypt instance instead of using two global queues. In order to maintain the existing user-space interface, the pinst structure remains global so any sysfs modifications will apply to every pcrypt instance. Note that when an update occurs we have to allocate memory for every pcrypt instance. Should one of the allocations fail we will abort the update without rolling back changes already made. The new per-instance data structure is called padata_shell and is essentially a wrapper around parallel_data.

The function padata_flush_queues is fundamentally broken because it cannot force padata users to complete the request that is underway. IOW padata has to passively wait for the completion of any outstanding work. As it stands flushing is used in two places. Its use in padata_stop is simply unnecessary because nothing depends on the queues to be flushed afterwards. The other use in padata_replace is more substantial as we depend on it to free the old pd structure. This patch instead uses the pd->refcnt to dynamically free the pd structure once all requests are complete.

Padata binds the parallel part of a job to a single CPU and round-robins over all CPUs in the system for each successive job. Though the serial parts rely on per-CPU queues for correct ordering, they're not necessary for parallel work, and it improves performance to run the job locally on NUMA machines and let the scheduler pick the CPU within a node on a busy system. So, make the parallel workqueue unbound. Update the parallel workqueue's cpumask when the instance's parallel cpumask changes. Now that parallel jobs no longer run on max_active=1 workqueues, two or more parallel works that hash to the same CPU may run simultaneously, finish out of order, and so be serialized out of order. Prevent this by keeping the works sorted on the reorder list by sequence number and checking that in the reordering logic. padata_get_next becomes padata_find_next so it can be reused for the end of padata_reorder, where it's used to avoid uselessly queueing work when the next job by sequence number isn't finished yet but a later job that hashed to the same CPU has. The ENODATA case in padata_find_next no longer makes sense because parallel jobs aren't bound to specific CPUs. The EINPROGRESS case takes care of the scenario where a parallel job is potentially running on the same CPU as padata_find_next, and with only one error code left, just use NULL instead.

padata_do_parallel currently returns -EINVAL if the callback CPU isn't in the callback cpumask. pcrypt tries to prevent this situation by keeping its own callback cpumask in sync with padata's and checks that the callback CPU it passes to padata is valid. Make padata handle this instead. padata_do_parallel now takes a pointer to the callback CPU and updates it for the caller if an alternate CPU is used. Overall behavior in terms of which callback CPUs are chosen stays the same. Prepares for removal of the padata cpumask notifier in pcrypt, which will fix a lockdep complaint about nested acquisition of the CPU hotplug lock later in the series. Signed-off-by:
