mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.17-rc1 commit e1c63e110f977205ab9dfb38989c54e6e7b52a7b category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I9BWES CVE: NA
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
When under the stress of swapping in/out with KSM enabled, there is a low probability that kasan reports the BUG of use-after-free in ksm_might_need_to_copy() when do swap in. The freed object is the anon_vma got from page_anon_vma(page).
It is because a swapcache page associated with one anon_vma now needed for another anon_vma, but the page's original vma was unmapped and the anon_vma was freed. In this case the if condition below always return false and then alloc a new page to copy. Swapin process then use the new page and can continue to run well, so this is harmless actually.
} else if (anon_vma->root == vma->anon_vma->root && page->index == linear_page_index(vma, address)) {
This patch exchange the order of above two judgment statement to avoid the kasan warning. Let cpu run "page->index == linear_page_index(vma, address)" firstly and return false basically to skip the read of anon_vma->root which may trigger the kasan use-after-free warning:
