Title
cgroup: split cgroup_destroy_wq into 3 workqueues
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: split cgroup_destroy_wq into 3 workqueues
A hung task can occur during [1] LTP cgroup testing when repeatedly
mounting/unmounting perf_event and net_prio controllers with
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1. The hang manifests in
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.
Related case:
cgroup_fj_function_perf_event cgroup_fj_function.sh perf_event
cgroup_fj_function_net_prio cgroup_fj_function.sh net_prio
Call Trace:
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline+0x14c/0x1e8
cgroup_destroy_root+0x3c/0x2c0
css_free_rwork_fn+0x248/0x338
process_one_work+0x16c/0x3b8
worker_thread+0x22c/0x3b0
kthread+0xec/0x100
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20
Root Cause:
CPU0 CPU1
mount perf_event umount net_prio
cgroup1_get_tree cgroup_kill_sb
rebind_subsystems // root destruction enqueues
// cgroup_destroy_wq
// kill all perf_event css
// one perf_event css A is dying
// css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq
// root destruction will be executed first
css_free_rwork_fn
cgroup_destroy_root
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline
// some perf descendants are dying
// cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1
// waiting for css A to die
Problem scenario:
1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)
2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work
3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction
4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is
blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)
Solution:
Split cgroup_destroy_wq into three dedicated workqueues:
cgroup_offline_wq – Handles CSS offline operations
cgroup_release_wq – Manages resource release
cgroup_free_wq – Performs final memory deallocation
This separation eliminates blocking in the CSS free path while waiting for
offline operations to complete.

The hang manifests in\ncgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.\n\nRelated case:\ncgroup_fj_function_perf_event cgroup_fj_function.sh perf_event\ncgroup_fj_function_net_prio cgroup_fj_function.sh net_prio\n\nCall Trace:\n\tcgroup_lock_and_drain_offline+0x14c/0x1e8\n\tcgroup_destroy_root+0x3c/0x2c0\n\tcss_free_rwork_fn+0x248/0x338\n\tprocess_one_work+0x16c/0x3b8\n\tworker_thread+0x22c/0x3b0\n\tkthread+0xec/0x100\n\tret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\nRoot Cause:\n\nCPU0 CPU1\nmount perf_event umount net_prio\ncgroup1_get_tree cgroup_kill_sb\nrebind_subsystems // root destruction enqueues\n\t\t\t\t// cgroup_destroy_wq\n// kill all perf_event css\n // one perf_event css A is dying\n // css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq\n // root destruction will be executed first\n css_free_rwork_fn\n cgroup_destroy_root\n cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline\n // some perf descendants are dying\n // cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1\n // waiting for css A to die\n\nProblem scenario:\n1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)\n2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work\n3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction\n4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is\n blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)\n\nSolution:\nSplit cgroup_destroy_wq into three dedicated workqueues:\ncgroup_offline_wq \u2013 Handles CSS offline operations\ncgroup_release_wq \u2013 Manages resource release\ncgroup_free_wq \u2013 Performs final memory deallocation\n\nThis separation eliminates blocking in the CSS free path while waiting for\noffline operations to complete.\n\n[1] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/runtest/controllers"

The hang manifests in\ncgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.\n\nRelated case:\ncgroup_fj_function_perf_event cgroup_fj_function.sh perf_event\ncgroup_fj_function_net_prio cgroup_fj_function.sh net_prio\n\nCall Trace:\n\tcgroup_lock_and_drain_offline+0x14c/0x1e8\n\tcgroup_destroy_root+0x3c/0x2c0\n\tcss_free_rwork_fn+0x248/0x338\n\tprocess_one_work+0x16c/0x3b8\n\tworker_thread+0x22c/0x3b0\n\tkthread+0xec/0x100\n\tret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\nRoot Cause:\n\nCPU0 CPU1\nmount perf_event umount net_prio\ncgroup1_get_tree cgroup_kill_sb\nrebind_subsystems // root destruction enqueues\n\t\t\t\t// cgroup_destroy_wq\n// kill all perf_event css\n // one perf_event css A is dying\n // css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq\n // root destruction will be executed first\n css_free_rwork_fn\n cgroup_destroy_root\n cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline\n // some perf descendants are dying\n // cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1\n // waiting for css A to die\n\nProblem scenario:\n1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)\n2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work\n3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction\n4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is\n blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)\n\nSolution:\nSplit cgroup_destroy_wq into three dedicated workqueues:\ncgroup_offline_wq \u2013 Handles CSS offline operations\ncgroup_release_wq \u2013 Manages resource release\ncgroup_free_wq \u2013 Performs final memory deallocation\n\nThis separation eliminates blocking in the CSS free path while waiting for\noffline operations to complete.\n\n[1] https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/runtest/controllers"

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
