{"id":"CVE-2024-43834","summary":"xdp: fix invalid wait context of page_pool_destroy()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxdp: fix invalid wait context of page_pool_destroy()\n\nIf the driver uses a page pool, it creates a page pool with\npage_pool_create().\nThe reference count of page pool is 1 as default.\nA page pool will be destroyed only when a reference count reaches 0.\npage_pool_destroy() is used to destroy page pool, it decreases a\nreference count.\nWhen a page pool is destroyed, -\u003edisconnect() is called, which is\nmem_allocator_disconnect().\nThis function internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nIf the driver uses XDP, it registers a memory model with\nxdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() internally increases a page pool\nreference count if a memory model is a page pool.\nNow the reference count is 2.\n\nTo destroy a page pool, the driver should call both page_pool_destroy()\nand xdp_unreg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_unreg_mem_model() internally calls page_pool_destroy().\nOnly page_pool_destroy() decreases a reference count.\n\nIf a driver calls page_pool_destroy() then xdp_unreg_mem_model(), we\nwill face an invalid wait context warning.\nBecause xdp_unreg_mem_model() calls page_pool_destroy() with\nrcu_read_lock().\nThe page_pool_destroy() internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nSplat looks like:\n=============================\n[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]\n6.10.0-rc6+ #4 Tainted: G W\n-----------------------------\nethtool/1806 is trying

rcu_read_lock() here is safe.\nxa is freed by __xdp_mem_allocator_rcu_free() and this is called by\ncall_rcu() of mem_xa_remove().\nThe mem_xa_remove() is called by page_pool_destroy() if a reference\ncount reaches 0.\nThe xa is already protected by the reference count mechanism well in the\ncontrol plane.\nSo removing rcu_read_lock() for page_pool_destroy() is safe.","modified":"2026-05-18T05:58:58.316339742Z","published":"2024-08-17T09:21:51.583Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2024:3190-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3194-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3195-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3209-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3383-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3483-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20044-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20047-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/43xxx/CVE-2024-43834.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-265688.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12144069209eec7f2090ce9afa15acdcc2c2a537"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fc1be360b99baeea15cdee3cf94252cd3a72d26"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59a931c5b732ca5fc2ca727f5a72aeabaafa85ec"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6c390ef198aa69795427a5cb5fd7cb4bc7e6cd7a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be9d08ff102df3ac4f66e826ea935cf3af63a4bd"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf0ce5aa5f2525ed1b921ba36de96e458e77f482"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/10/msg00003.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/43xxx/CVE-2024-43834.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-43834"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"c3f812cea0d7006469d1cf33a4a9f0a12bb4b3a3"},{"fixed":"be9d08ff102df3ac4f66e826ea935cf3af63a4bd"},{"fixed":"6c390ef198aa69795427a5cb5fd7cb4bc7e6cd7a"},{"fixed":"3fc1be360b99baeea15cdee3cf94252cd3a72d26"},{"fixed":"bf0ce5aa5f2525ed1b921ba36de96e458e77f482"},{"fixed":"12144069209eec7f2090ce9afa15acdcc2c2a537"},{"fixed":"59a931c5b732ca5fc2ca727f5a72aeabaafa85ec"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"bf22306d92ca59c59dc4aa3bab14768948193d56"},{"last_affected":"05f646cb2174d1a4e032b60b99097f5c4b522616"}]}],"versions":["v5.4","v5.4.4","v5.3.17","v5.3.16","v5.4.3","v5.3.15","v5.4.2","v5.4-rc1","v5.3.14","v5.4.1","v5.4-rc6","v5.4-rc3","v5.3.13","v5.4-rc4","v5.4-rc8","v5.3.12","v5.3.11","v5.4-rc7","v5.4-rc5","v5.3","v5.4-rc2","v5.3.10","v5.3.9","v5.3.8","v5.3.7","v5.3.6","v5.3.5","v5.3.4","v5.3.3","v5.3.2","v5.3.1","v5.3-rc5","v5.3-rc1","v5.3-rc2","v5.3-rc3","v5.3-rc8","v5.3-rc7","v5.3-rc4","v5.2","v5.3-rc6","v5.2-rc2","v5.2-rc7","v5.2-rc4","v5.2-rc1","v5.2-rc5","v5.2-rc6","v5.2-rc3","v5.1","v5.0-rc8","v5.1-rc7","v5.1-rc1","v5.1-rc6","v5.1-rc5","v5.0","v5.1-rc3","v5.1-rc2","v5.1-rc4","v5.0-rc1","v5.0-rc4","v5.0-rc3","v5.0-rc6","v5.0-rc7","v5.0-rc2","v5.0-rc5","v4.20-rc1","v4.19","v4.20","v4.20-rc7","v4.20-rc5","v4.20-rc6","v4.20-rc4","v4.20-rc2","v4.20-rc3","v4.19-rc2","v4.19-rc8","v4.19-rc4","v4.19-rc1","v4.19-rc7","v4.19-rc6","v4.19-rc5","v4.19-rc3","v4.18","v4.18-rc1","v4.18-rc8","v4.18-rc2","v4.18-rc5","v4.18-rc6","v4.18-rc7","v4.17","v4.18-rc3","v4.18-rc4","v4.17-rc1","v4.17-rc2","v4.17-rc7","v4.17-rc3","v4.17-rc4","v4.16","v4.17-rc6","v4.17-rc5","v4.16-rc7","v4.16-rc4","v4.16-rc1","v4.16-rc2","v4.16-rc5","v4.16-rc3","v4.16-rc6","v4.14","v4.15","v4.15-rc1","v4.15-rc4","v4.15-rc9","v4.15-rc8","v4.15-rc7","v4.15-rc3","v4.15-rc2","v4.15-rc5","v4.15-rc6","v4.14-rc1","v4.14-rc7","v4.14-rc3","v4.13","v4.14-rc8","v4.14-rc4","v4.14-rc6","v4.14-rc2","v4.14-rc5","v4.13-rc2","v4.13-rc1","v4.13-rc3","v4.13-rc7","v4.13-rc4","v4.13-rc5","v4.13-rc6","v4.12-rc1","v4.12","v4.12-rc5","v4.12-rc7","v4.12-rc6","v4.12-rc4","v4.12-rc2","v4.12-rc3","v4.11","v4.11-rc1","v4.11-rc6","v4.11-rc8","v4.11-rc7","v4.11-rc3","v4.11-rc5","v4.11-rc2","v4.11-rc4","v4.10","v4.9","v4.10-rc8","v4.10-rc3","v4.10-rc1","v4.10-rc7","v4.10-rc6","v4.10-rc2","v4.10-rc5","v4.10-rc4","v4.9-rc7","v4.9-rc6","v4.9-rc8","v4.9-rc1","v4.9-rc5","v4.9-rc3","v4.9-rc4","v4.9-rc2","v4.8","v4.8-rc8","v4.8-rc2","v4.8-rc1","v4.8-rc7","v4.8-rc6","v4.8-rc5","v4.8-rc4","v4.8-rc3","v4.7","v4.7-rc4","v4.7-rc2","v4.7-rc1","v4.7-rc7","v4.7-rc6","v4.7-rc3","v4.7-rc5","v4.6","v4.6-rc1","v4.6-rc6","v4.6-rc4","v4.6-rc7","v4.6-rc5","v4.5-rc4","v4.6-rc2","v4.6-rc3","v4.5","v4.4","v4.5-rc1","v4.5-rc6","v4.5-rc2","v4.5-rc7","v4.5-rc5","v4.5-rc3","v4.4-rc1","v4.4-rc2","v4.4-rc8","v4.4-rc3","v4.4-rc7","v4.4-rc5","v4.4-rc6","v4.4-rc4","v4.3","v4.3-rc1","v4.3-rc6","v4.3-rc4","v4.3-rc2","v4.3-rc7","v4.3-rc5","v4.3-rc3","v4.2","v4.2-rc2","v4.2-rc1","v4.2-rc8","v4.2-rc4","v4.2-rc6","v4.2-rc7","v4.0-rc5","v4.2-rc5","v4.2-rc3","v4.1-rc2","v4.1","v4.1-rc1","v4.1-rc8","v4.1-rc7","v4.1-rc6","v4.1-rc3","v4.1-rc4","v4.0","v4.1-rc5","v4.0-rc1","v4.0-rc2","v4.0-rc7","v4.0-rc3","v4.0-rc6","v4.0-rc4","v3.19","v3.19-rc7","v3.19-rc5"
