mm,hwpoison: check mm when killing accessing process

[PATCH] mm,hwpoison: check mm when killing accessing process

Posted by Shuai Xue 3 years, 6 months ago

The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to queue work
into workqueue and schedule it on the current CPU. Then the work is
processed in memory_failure_work_func() by kworker and calls
memory_failure().

When a page is already poisoned, commit a3f5d80ea401 ("mm,hwpoison: send
SIGBUS with error virutal address") make memory_failure() call
kill_accessing_process() that:

    - holds mmap locking of current->mm
    - does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address
    - and sends SIGBUS to the current process with error info.

However, the mm of kworker is not valid. Therefore, check mm when killing
accessing process.

Thanks.

When fixing a bug, please always describe the user-visible effects of
tha bug.  I'm thinking "null pointer deref crashes the kernel".

I'll add cc:stable.

This is an unrelated change which doesn't appear to match the style in
memory-failure.c, so I'll drop this hunk.
