Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix missing migration protection in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() uses this_cpu_ptr() which requires migration
to be disabled. All callers of rhtab_delete_elem() disable migration
except __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), which calls it under
rcu_read_lock() only.
On CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption or
migration, so the task can migrate between CPUs during the delete loop,
causing this_cpu_ptr() to trigger:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code
Fix by wrapping the delete loop in migrate_disable()/migrate_enable()
in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), matching the migration
protection that the other callers already provide.
