From 9109e15709cd6813411c004a2a1d128c0cb6701d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 19:33:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/gup: fix try_grab_compound_head() race with split_huge_page() commit c24d37322548a6ec3caec67100d28b9c1f89f60a upstream. try_grab_compound_head() is used to grab a reference to a page from get_user_pages_fast(), which is only protected against concurrent freeing of page tables (via local_irq_save()), but not against concurrent TLB flushes, freeing of data pages, or splitting of compound pages. Because no reference is held to the page when try_grab_compound_head() is called, the page may have been freed and reallocated by the time its refcount has been elevated; therefore, once we're holding a stable reference to the page, the caller re-checks whether the PTE still points to the same page (with the same access rights). The problem is that try_grab_compound_head() has to grab a reference on the head page; but between the time we look up what the head page is and the time we actually grab a reference on the head page, the compound page may have been split up (either explicitly through split_huge_page() or by freeing the compound page to the buddy allocator and then allocating its individual order-0 pages). If that happens, get_user_pages_fast() may end up returning the right page but lifting the refcount on a now-unrelated page, leading to use-after-free of pages. To fix it: Re-check whether the pages still belong together after lifting the refcount on the head page. Move anything else that checks compound_head(page) below the refcount increment. This can't actually happen on bare-metal x86 (because there, disabling IRQs locks out remote TLB flushes), but it can happen on virtualized x86 (e.g. under KVM) and probably also on arm64. The race window is pretty narrow, and constantly allocating and shattering hugepages isn't exactly fast; for now I've only managed to reproduce this in an x86 KVM guest with an artificially widened timing window (by adding a loop that repeatedly calls `inl(0x3f8 + 5)` in `try_get_compound_head()` to force VM exits, so that PV TLB flushes are used instead of IPIs). As requested on the list, also replace the existing VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() with a warning and bailout. Since the existing code only performed the BUG_ON check on DEBUG_VM kernels, ensure that the new code also only performs the check under that configuration - I don't want to mix two logically separate changes together too much. The macro VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE() doesn't return a value on !DEBUG_VM, so wrap the whole check in an #ifdef block. An alternative would be to change the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE() definition for !DEBUG_VM such that it always returns false, but since that would differ from the behavior of the normal WARN macros, it might be too confusing for readers.
