From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.15-rc7 commit e9f180d7cfde23b9f8eebd60272465176373ab2c category: bugfix bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/10709 CVE: CVE-2025-22090 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Not intuitive, but vm_area_dup() located in kernel/fork.c is not only used for duplicating VMAs during fork(), but also for duplicating VMAs when splitting VMAs or when mremap()'ing them. VM_PFNMAP mappings can at least get ordinarily mremap()'ed (no change in size) and apparently also shrunk during mremap(), which implies duplicating the VMA in __split_vma() first. In case of ordinary mremap() (no change in size), we first duplicate the VMA in copy_vma_and_data()->copy_vma() to then call untrack_pfn_clear() on the old VMA: we effectively move the VM_PAT reservation. So the untrack_pfn_clear() call on the new VMA duplicating is wrong in that context. Splitting of VMAs seems problematic, because we don't duplicate/adjust the reservation when splitting the VMA. Instead, in memtype_erase() -- called during zapping/munmap -- we shrink a reservation in case only the end address matches: Assume we split a VMA into A and B, both would share a reservation until B is unmapped. So when unmapping B, the reservation would be updated to cover only A. When unmapping A, we would properly remove the now-shrunk reservation. That scenario describes the mremap() shrinking (old_size > new_size), where we split + unmap B, and the untrack_pfn_clear() on the new VMA when is wrong. What if we manage to split a VM_PFNMAP VMA into A and B and unmap A first? It would be broken because we would never free the reservation. Likely, there are ways to trigger such a VMA split outside of mremap(). Affecting other VMA duplication was not intended, vm_area_dup() being used outside of kernel/fork.c was an oversight. So let's fix that for; how to handle VMA splits better should be investigated separately. With a simple reproducer that uses mprotect() to split such a VMA I can trigger x86/PAT: pat_mremap:26448 freeing invalid memtype [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250422144942.2871395-1-david@redhat.com Fixes: dc84bc2aba85 ("x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()") Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Cc: "H.
