      mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode · 1a5a9906
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
      the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
      allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
      false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
      materializing as trans huge.
      
      It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
      in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
      to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
      seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
      restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
      the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
      pmd_trans_huge().
      
      Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
      mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
      the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
      probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
      madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
      fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
      will be zapped.
      
      Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
      to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
      zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
      pmd_trans_huge()).
      
      The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
      (regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
      compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
      that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
      value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
      zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
      and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
      above).
      
      All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
      path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
      can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
      tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
      don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
      too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
      verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
      and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
      
      		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
      			if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
      				VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
      				split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
      			} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
      				continue;
      			/* fall through */
      		}
      		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
      
      Because this race condition could be exercised without special
      privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
      
      The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
      I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

            mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
            kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
      
          At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
          following is logged on the console:
      
            mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
      
          The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
          the page's PMD table entry.
      
              143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
              144 {
          ->  145         pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
              146         pmd_clear(pmd);
              147 }
      
          After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
          between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
          and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
          is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
      
             1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
             1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
             1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
          -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
      
          The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
          process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
          been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
          system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

          The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
          it in shared mode (down_read).  Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
          the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
          does not synchronize on that lock.

      aio: fix the "too late munmap()" race · c7b28555
      Al Viro 提交于
      Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
      that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
      so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
      from progressing.  As the result, we can end up with async call of
      put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
      or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
      to them...
      
      We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
      with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
      exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
      does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
      and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.
      
      Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
      bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
      All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
      area in aio_fput_routine().

      Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it
      on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit.  The current
      code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed
      to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right
      under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to
      io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end
      up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...
