4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jan Stancek <[email protected]> commit 8ab88c7169b7fba98812ead6524b9d05bc76cf00 upstream. LTP proc01 testcase has been observed to rarely trigger crashes on arm64: page_mapped+0x78/0xb4 stable_page_flags+0x27c/0x338 kpageflags_read+0xfc/0x164 proc_reg_read+0x7c/0xb8 __vfs_read+0x58/0x178 vfs_read+0x90/0x14c SyS_read+0x60/0xc0 The issue is that page_mapped() assumes that if compound page is not huge, then it must be THP. But if this is 'normal' compound page (COMPOUND_PAGE_DTOR), then following loop can keep running (for HPAGE_PMD_NR iterations) until it tries to read from memory that isn't mapped and triggers a panic: for (i = 0; i < hpage_nr_pages(page); i++) { if (atomic_read(&page[i]._mapcount) >= 0) return true; } I could replicate this on x86 (v4.20-rc4-98-g60b548237fed) only with a custom kernel module [1] which: - allocates compound page (PAGEC) of order 1 - allocates 2 normal pages (COPY), which are initialized to 0xff (to satisfy _mapcount >= 0) - 2 PAGEC page structs are copied to address of first COPY page - second page of COPY is marked as not present - call to page_mapped(COPY) now triggers fault on access to 2nd COPY page at offset 0x30 (_mapcount) [1] https://github.com/jstancek/reproducers/blob/master/kernel/page_mapped_crash/repro.c Fix the loop to iterate for "1 << compound_order" pages. Kirrill said "IIRC, sound subsystem can producuce custom mapped compound pages".
