commit 3c9ba2777d6c86025e1ba4186dc5cd930e40ec5f upstream.
A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability was identified in the PSI (Pressure
Stall Information) monitoring mechanism:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in psi_trigger_poll+0x3c/0x140

Reproduction Steps:
1. Open test/cpu.pressure and establish epoll monitoring
2. Disable monitoring: echo 0 > test/cgroup.pressure
3. Re-enable monitoring: echo 1 > test/cgroup.pressure
The race condition occurs because:
1. When cgroup.pressure is disabled (echo 0 > cgroup.pressure), it:
- Releases PSI triggers via cgroup_file_release()
- Frees of->priv through kernfs_drain_open_files()
2. While epoll still holds reference to the file and continues polling
3. Re-enabling (echo 1 > cgroup.pressure) accesses freed of->priv
epolling disable/enable cgroup.pressure
fd=open(cpu.pressure)

epoll_wait
kernfs_fop_poll
kernfs_get_active = true echo 0 > cgroup.pressure
... cgroup_file_show
kernfs_show
// inactive kn
kernfs_drain_open_files
cft->release(of);
kfree(ctx);
...
kernfs_get_active = false
echo 1 > cgroup.pressure
kernfs_show
kernfs_activate_one(kn);
kernfs_fop_poll
kernfs_get_active = true
cgroup_file_poll
psi_trigger_poll
// UAF
...
end: close(fd)
To address this issue, introduce kernfs_get_active_of() for kernfs open
files to obtain active references. This function will fail if the open file
has been released. Replace kernfs_get_active() with kernfs_get_active_of()
to prevent further operations on released file descriptors.
