When eagerly switching PKRU in switch_fpu_finish() it checks that current is not a kernel thread as kernel threads will never use PKRU. It's possible that this_cpu_read_stable() on current_task (ie. get_current()) is returning an old cached value. To resolve this reference next_p directly rather than relying on current. As written it's possible when switching from a kernel thread to a userspace thread to observe a cached PF_KTHREAD flag and never restore the PKRU. And as a result this issue only occurs when switching from a kernel thread to a userspace thread, switching from a non kernel thread works perfectly fine because all that is considered in that situation are the flags from some other non kernel task and the next fpu is passed in to switch_fpu_finish(). This behavior only exists between 5.2 and 5.13 when it was fixed by a rewrite decoupling PKRU from xstate, in: commit |
