mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp
commit 8310d48b125d19fcd9521d83b8293e63eb1646aa upstream. In commit 19be0eaffa3a ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW instead. Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set. However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten. As a result, remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails out immidiately because `(flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !pmd_write(*pmd)` is true. While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else works (e.g. no ptrace attach, no other signals). This is easily reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always): #include <assert.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #define TEST_SIZE 5 * 1024 * 1024 int main(void) { int status; pid_t child; int fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR); void *addr = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr != MAP_FAILED); pid_t parent_pid = getpid(); if ((child = fork()) == 0) { void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr2 != MAP_FAILED); memset(addr2, 'a', TEST_SIZE); pwrite(fd, addr2, TEST_SIZE, (uintptr_t)addr); return 0; } assert(child == waitpid(child, &status, 0)); assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0); return 0; } Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously to the update in gup.c in the original commit. The same pattern exists in follow_devmap_pmd. However, we should not be able to reach that check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we ever do.
