[10/12] mm/khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() with mmap_read_lock()
Commit Message
Bring collapse_and_free_pmd() back into collapse_pte_mapped_thp().
It does need mmap_read_lock(), but it does not need mmap_write_lock(),
nor vma_start_write() nor i_mmap lock nor anon_vma lock. All racing
paths are relying on pte_offset_map_lock() and pmd_lock(), so use those.
Follow the pattern in retract_page_tables(); and using pte_free_defer()
removes the need for tlb_remove_table_sync_one() here.
Confirm the preliminary find_pmd_or_thp_or_none() once page lock has been
acquired and the page looks suitable: from then on its state is stable.
However, collapse_pte_mapped_thp() was doing something others don't:
freeing a page table still containing "valid" entries. i_mmap lock did
stop a racing truncate from double-freeing those pages, but we prefer
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() to clear the entries as usual. Their TLB
flush can wait until the pmdp_collapse_flush() which follows, but the
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() has to be done earlier.
Some cleanup while rearranging: rename "count" to "nr_ptes";
and "step 2" does not need to duplicate the checks in "step 1".

I think there's a weirdness in the existing code, and this change
probably turns that into a UAF bug.
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() can be called on an address that might not
be associated with a VMA anymore, and after this change, the page
tables for that address might be in the middle of page table teardown
in munmap(), right? The existing mmap_write_lock() guards against
concurrent munmap() (so in the old code we are guaranteed to either
see a normal VMA or not see the page tables anymore), but
mmap_read_lock() only guards against the part of munmap() up to the
mmap_write_downgrade() in do_vmi_align_munmap(), and unmap_region()
(including free_pgtables()) happens after that.
So we can now enter collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and race with concurrent
free_pgtables() such that a PUD disappears under us while we're
walking it or something like that:
int collapse_pte_mapped_thp(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr,
bool install_pmd)
{
struct mmu_notifier_range range;
unsigned long haddr = addr & HPAGE_PMD_MASK;
struct vm_area_struct *vma = vma_lookup(mm, haddr); // <<< returns NULL
struct page *hpage;
pte_t *start_pte, *pte;
pmd_t *pmd, pgt_pmd;
spinlock_t *pml, *ptl;
int nr_ptes = 0, result = SCAN_FAIL;
int i;
mmap_assert_locked(mm);
/* Fast check before locking page if already PMD-mapped */
result = find_pmd_or_thp_or_none(mm, haddr, &pmd); // <<< PUD UAF in here
if (result == SCAN_PMD_MAPPED)
return result;
if (!vma || !vma->vm_file || // <<< bailout happens too late
!range_in_vma(vma, haddr, haddr + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE))
return SCAN_VMA_CHECK;
I guess the right fix here is to make sure that at least the basic VMA
revalidation stuff (making sure there still is a VMA covering this
range) happens before find_pmd_or_thp_or_none()? Like:

Excellent point, thank you. Don't let anyone overhear us, but I have
to confess to you that that mmap_write_downgrade() has never impinged
forcefully enough on my consciousness: it's still my habit to think of
mmap_lock as exclusive over free_pgtables(), and I've not encountered
this bug in my testing.
Right, I'll gladly incorporate your collapse_pte_mapped_thp()
rearrangement below. And am reassured to realize that by removing
mmap_lock dependence elsewhere, I won't have got it wrong in other places.
Thanks,
Hugh
