Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: revoke copy-notify stateids before dropping their reference Copy-notify stateids live in the s2s_cp_stateids IDR and on their parent stid's sc_cp_list, pinned by a single membership reference. _free_cpntf_state_locked() only unlinks an entry once its refcount reaches zero, so any revoke path that runs while a concurrent find_cpntf_state()/manage_cpntf_state() holder has elevated cs_count drops the reference without unlinking, leaving the entry discoverable with its membership reference already consumed. A second revoke or a laundromat tick then frees it while the reader still holds the pointer -- a KASAN-detectable use-after-free at the reader's nfs4_put_cpntf_state(). This affected all three revoke paths: - The parent-stid drain (nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist()) repeatedly called _free_cpntf_state_locked() on the first list entry; a holder that had bumped cs_count made it return early, so the next iteration re-decremented and burned the holder's reference. - OFFLOAD_CANCEL (manage_cpntf_state()) and laundromat expiry likewise used _free_cpntf_state_locked() and could drop 2->1 without unlinking. Add revoke_cpntf_state_locked(), which unhashes the entry from the IDR and sc_cp_list first (deferring the final free to any holder), and use it from all three revoke paths. The drain now walks with list_for_each_entry_safe() and revokes each entry unconditionally, so it terminates in one pass per entry regardless of cs_count. The unhash is gated on !list_empty(&cps->cp_list); the idr_remove() gate matters because idr_alloc_cyclic() may have recycled the so_id by then. Keep _free_cpntf_state_locked() for the reference-holder put path only, where a concurrent revoke may already have unlinked the entry (its list_del_init() then a no-op).
