From 688272809fcce5b17fcefd5892b59f3788efb144 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 17:06:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, gup: prevent pmd checking race in follow_pmd_mask() mmap_sem will be read locked when calling follow_pmd_mask(). But this cannot prevent PMD from being changed for all cases when PTL is unlocked, for example, from pmd_trans_huge() to pmd_none() via MADV_DONTNEED. So it is possible for the pmd_present() check in follow_pmd_mask() to encounter an invalid PMD. This may cause an incorrect VM_BUG_ON() or an infinite loop. Fix this by reading the PMD entry into a local variable with READ_ONCE() and checking the local variable and pmd_none() in the retry loop. As Kirill pointed out, with PTL unlocked, the *pmd may be changed under us, so reading it directly again and again may incur weird bugs. So although using *pmd directly other than for pmd_present() checking may be safe, it is still better to replace them to read *pmd once and check the local variable multiple times. When PTL unlocked, replace all *pmd with local variable was suggested by Kirill.
