In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: flush all requests after setting CACHEFILES_DEAD
In ondemand mode, when the daemon is processing an open request, if the
kernel flags the cache as CACHEFILES_DEAD, the cachefiles_daemon_write()
will always return -EIO, so the daemon can’t pass the copen to the kernel.
Then the kernel process that is waiting for the copen triggers a hung_task.
Since the DEAD state is irreversible, it can only be exited by closing
/dev/cachefiles. Therefore, after calling cachefiles_io_error() to mark
the cache as CACHEFILES_DEAD, if in ondemand mode, flush all requests to
avoid the above hungtask. We may still be able to read some of the cached
data before closing the fd of /dev/cachefiles.
Note that this relies on the patch that adds reference counting to the req,
otherwise it may UAF.
