Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory.c: do_fault: avoid usage of stale vm_area_struct
Git-commit: fc8efd2ddfed3f343c11b693e87140ff358d7ff5
Patch-mainline: v5.1-rc1
References: bsc#1136513
LTP testcase mtest06 [1] can trigger a crash on s390x running 5.0.0-rc8.
This is a stress test, where one thread mmaps/writes/munmaps memory area
and other thread is trying to read from it:
CPU: 0 PID: 2611 Comm: mmap1 Not tainted 5.0.0-rc8+ #51
Hardware name: IBM 2964 N63 400 (z/VM 6.4.0)

page_table_free() is called with NULL mm parameter, but because "0" is a
valid address on s390 (see S390_lowcore), it keeps going until it
eventually crashes in lockdep's lock_acquire. This crash is
reproducible at least since 4.14.
Problem is that "vmf->vma" used in do_fault() can become stale. Because
mmap_sem may be released, other threads can come in, call munmap() and
cause "vma" be returned to kmem cache, and get zeroed/re-initialized and
re-used:
handle_mm_fault |
__handle_mm_fault |
do_fault |
vma = vmf->vma |
do_read_fault |
__do_fault |
vma->vm_ops->fault(vmf); |
mmap_sem is released |
|
| do_munmap()
| remove_vma_list()
| remove_vma()
| vm_area_free()
| # vma is released
| ...
| # same vma is allocated
| # from kmem cache
| do_mmap()
| vm_area_alloc()
| memset(vma, 0, ...)
|
pte_free(vma->vm_mm, ...); |
page_table_free |
spin_lock_bh(&mm->context.lock);|
<crash> |
Cache mm_struct to avoid using potentially stale "vma".
