mainline inclusion from mainline-v7.3 commit b6ac0b3f6013c168f22cad97e79967accacb08e1 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitcode.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/10048 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- On arm64 server, we find that a task trying to grab the anon_vma lock triggers hungtask. INFO: task main:2354726 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 5.10.0-0021.aarch64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. task:main state:D stack: 0 pid:2354726 ppid:2350673 flags:0x00000a01 Call trace: __switch_to+0x7c/0xbc __schedule+0x3b4/0x8a0 schedule+0x50/0xe0 rwsem_down_write_slowpath+0x3cc/0x6cc down_write+0x60/0x260 __anon_vma_prepare+0x6c/0x210 do_anonymous_page+0x258/0x660 handle_pte_fault+0x188/0x214 __handle_mm_fault+0x1b0/0x380 handle_mm_fault+0xf4/0x284 do_page_fault+0x19c/0x494 do_translation_fault+0xcc/0xf8 do_mem_abort+0x48/0xac el0_da+0x44/0x80 el0_sync_handler+0x88/0xb4 el0_sync+0x160/0x180 After analyzing the vmcore, we found the anon_vma->root->rwsem.count is -1. There is another anon_vma whose anon_vma->root->rwsem.count is 1, the anon_vma->root->rwsem.owner shows the lock is held, but the stack of the task shows the task doesn't hold the anon_vma lock. After adding more debugging info, we found __anon_vma_prepare() reuses anon_vma and triggers the UAF of anon_vma->root due to missing memory barrier, leading to locking and unlocking two different anon_vma->root, thus leading to an anon_vma will never be unlocked, and another anon_vma couldn't be locked anymore. This race requires two adjacent VMAs that are not merged but are anon_vma-compatible (e.g., they differ in VMA_ACCESS_FLAGS that can be changed by mprotect()). Two threads fault on each VMA concurrently, both calling __anon_vma_prepare() with only mmap_lock held for reading. THREAD A THREAD B __anon_vma_prepare __anon_vma_prepare find_mergeable_anon_vma() -> NULL anon_vma = anon_vma_alloc(); anon_vma->root = anon_vma; // the two stores may be reordered vma->anon_vma = anon_vma; // finds A's anon_vma anon_vma = find_mergeable_anon_vma(vma); anon_vma_lock_write(anon_vma); // may still see the old root down_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem); anon_vma_unlock_write(anon_vma); // see the new root, never unlock old up_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem); thread A triggers page fault and calls __anon_vma_prepare() to prepare anon_vma for the faulting vma. __anon_vma_prepare() allocates and initializes a new anon_vma, and then publishes it to the vma with a plain store. anon_vma_prepare() only requires the mmap_lock to be held for reading, so two threads can fault on adjacent VMAs at the same time. While thread A publishes a new anon_vma, thread B could find the anon_vma via find_mergeable_anon_vma() and then locks anon_vma->root->rwsem. The store to anon_vma->root in anon_vma_alloc() and the store to vma->anon_vma can be reordered. The anon_vma_lock_write() and spin_lock() only provide acquire semantics, which do not prevent prior stores from being reordered after them. The release semantics of the corresponding spin_unlock() and anon_vma_unlock_write() come too late, the store to vma->anon_vma is already published before they take effect. As a result, thread B can observe the following order: vma->anon_vma = anon_vma; anon_vma->root = anon_vma; The anon_vma slab is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so a newly allocated anon_vma may reuse memory from a previously freed one. The constructor (anon_vma_ctor) does not reset anon_vma->root, and __put_anon_vma() doesn't clear it either, so the old root value persists until anon_vma_alloc() overwrites it. If that store isn't visible, thread B reads a root that points to the old anon_vma and locks it. As a result, thread B can call anon_vma_lock_write() with the old root, and call anon_vma_unlock_write() with the new root, leading to an anon_vma will never be unlocked, and another anon_vma couldn't be locked anymore (its count is dropped from 0 to -1 due to wrong unlock). To fix it, change the plain store `vma->anon_vma = anon_vma` to store release, so that the fields of anon_vma are visible before anon_vma is published to vma->anon_vma. At read side, the load of anon_vma and anon_vma->root have address dependency. According to Documentation/memory-barriers.txt and some investigations, only Alpha needs address-dependency barriers and it has been handled by READ_ONCE() in reusable_anon_vma(). We reproduced this issue in v5.10 with KSM enabled. The kernel doesn't merge commit cf7e7a3503df ("mm: prevent KSM from breaking VMA merging for new VMAs"), so there are many adjacent VMAs that aren't merged but are compatible for anon_vma. Without this fix, our production environment could reproduce this issue about 2-5 times each month. After adding a smp_mb() before anon_vma_lock_write(anon_vma) in __anon_vma_prepare(), which is different to this patch, this issue hasn't been reproduced for one month.
