CVE-2024-27058

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tmpfs: fix race on handling dquot rbtree

A syzkaller reproducer found a race while attempting to remove dquot
information from the rb tree.

Fetching the rb_tree root node must also be protected by the
dqopt->dqio_sem, otherwise, giving the right timing, shmem_release_dquot()
will trigger a warning because it couldn’t find a node in the tree, when
the real reason was the root node changing before the search starts:

Thread 1 Thread 2

• shmem_release_dquot() - shmem_{acquire,release}_dquot()

• fetch ROOT - Fetch ROOT

    			- acquire dqio_sem
  

• wait dqio_sem

    			- do something, triger a tree rebalance
    			- release dqio_sem
  

• acquire dqio_sem

• start searching for the node, but
  from the wrong location, missing
  the node, and triggering a warning.
