-Subject: coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping
-
-From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
-
-commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 upstream.
-
-When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
-holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
-mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
-race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
-dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
-taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
-while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.
-
-If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
-mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
-that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
-through that mm_count reference.
-
-khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
-but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
-khugepaged kernel thread.
-
-collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
-modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
-coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
-invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
-needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
-call pmd_trans_huge_lock().
-
-Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
-"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.
-
-The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
-which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
-functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().
-
-So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
-not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
-can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.
-
-This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
-it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
-rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
-So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().
