[v2] mm/mmap: Fix race in mmap_region() with ftrucate()

[PATCH v2] mm/mmap: Fix race in mmap_region() with ftrucate()

Posted by Liam R. Howlett 1 month, 1 week ago

From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@Oracle.com>

Avoiding the zeroing of the vma tree in mmap_region() introduced a race
with truncate in the page table walk.  To avoid any races, create a hole
in the rmap during the operation by clearing the pagetable entries
earlier under the mmap write lock and (critically) before the new vma is
installed into the vma tree.  The result is that the old vma(s) are left
in the vma tree, but free_pgtables() removes them from the rmap and
clears the ptes while holding the necessary locks.

This change extends the fix required for hugetblfs and the call_mmap()
function by moving the cleanup higher in the function and running it
unconditionally.

This should have been a hotfix as it needs to go into v6.12

Subject has a typo, should say ftruncate()

Also let's explicitly note it's a 6.12 hotfix.

And no parallel page faults can reinstate any PTEs as the vma's are marked
as detached, right.

Right, it is detached and waiting to be freed so the per-vma page
faulting will fall through and wait for the mmap read lock to continue
page faulting, but the MAP_FIXED call has to drop the mmap write lock.
