Currently @audit_context is allocated twice for io_uring workers:

  1. copy_process() calls audit_alloc();
  2. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() calls audit_alloc_kernel() (which
     is effectively audit_alloc()) and overwrites @audit_context,
     causing:

Then,

  3. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() frees @audit_context using
     audit_free();
  4. do_exit() eventually calls audit_free() again, which is okay
     because audit_free() does a NULL check.

Free the old @audit_context first in audit_alloc_kernel(), and delete
the redundant calls to audit_free() for less confusion.

Hi all,

A better way to fix this memleak would probably be checking
@args->io_thread in copy_process()?  Something like:

    if (args->io_thread)
	retval = audit_alloc_kernel();
    else
	retval = audit_alloc();

But I didn't want to add another if to copy_process() for this bugfix.
Please suggest, thanks!

Thanks for the report and patch!  I'll take a closer look at this

I think the best solution to this is simply to remove the calls to
audit_alloc_kernel() in the io_uring and io-wq code, as well as the
audit_alloc_kernel() function itself.  As long as create_io_thread()
ends up calling copy_process to create the new kernel thread the
audit_context should be allocated correctly.  Peilin Ye, are you able
to draft a patch to do that and give it a test?

For those that may be wondering how this happened (I definitely was!),
it looks like when I first started working on the LSM/audit support
for io_uring it was before the v5.12-rc1 release when
create_io_thread() was introduced.  Prior to create_io_thread() it
appears that io_uring/io-wq wasn't calling into copy_process() and
thus was not getting an audit_context allocated in the kernel thread's
task_struct; the solution for those original development drafts was to
add a call to a new audit_alloc_kernel() which would handle the
audit_context allocation.  Unfortunately, I didn't notice the move to
create_io_thread() during development and the redundant
audit_alloc_kernel() calls remained :/

I agree with your analysis and suggested solution. Post the native io-wq
workers create_io_thread() -> copy_process() is always used for io-wq
(and sqpoll, for that matter).

Sure, I will write a v2 today.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Currently @audit_context is allocated twice for io_uring workers:

  1. copy_process() calls audit_alloc();
  2. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() calls audit_alloc_kernel() (which
     is effectively audit_alloc()) and overwrites @audit_context,
     causing:

  BUG: memory leak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888144547400 (size 1024):
<...>
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):

      [<ffffffff844a7e80>] do_syscall_64+0x40/0x80

Then,

  3. io_sq_thread() or io_wqe_worker() frees @audit_context using
     audit_free();
  4. do_exit() eventually calls audit_free() again, which is okay
     because audit_free() does a NULL check.

As suggested by Paul Moore, fix it by deleting audit_alloc_kernel() and
redundant audit_free() calls.

This looks good to me, thanks!  Although it looks like the io_uring
related changes will need to be applied by hand as they are pointing
to the old layout under fs/ as opposed to the newer layout in
io_uring/ introduced during this merge window.

Jens, did you want to take this via the io_uring tree or should I take
it via the audit tree?  If the latter, an ACK would be appreciated, if
the former my ACK is below.

Probably better if I take it, since I need to massage it into the
current tree anyway. We can then use this one as the base for the stable
backports that are going to be required.
