mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock. This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page. This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any architectures or configurations. This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to properly handle the returned tail pages. We could have a choice to add the similar locking to follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it for future development. Here is the reproducer: $ cat movepages.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <numaif.h> #define ADDR_INPUT 0x700000000000UL #define HPS 0x200000 #define PS 0x1000 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; int nr_hp = strtol(argv[1], NULL, 0); int nr_p = nr_hp * HPS / PS; int ret; void **addrs; int *status; int *nodes; pid_t pid; pid = strtol(argv[2], NULL, 0); addrs = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1); status = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1); nodes = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1); while (1) { for (i = 0; i < nr_p; i++) { addrs[i] = (void *)ADDR_INPUT + i * PS; nodes[i] = 1; status[i] = 0; } ret = numa_move_pages(pid, nr_p, addrs, nodes, status, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL); if (ret == -1) err("move_pages"); for (i = 0; i < nr_p; i++) { addrs[i] = (void *)ADDR_INPUT + i * PS; nodes[i] = 0; status[i] = 0; } ret = numa_move_pages(pid, nr_p, addrs, nodes, status, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL); if (ret == -1) err("move_pages"); } return 0; } $ cat hugepage.c #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <string.h> #define ADDR_INPUT 0x700000000000UL #define HPS 0x200000 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int nr_hp = strtol(argv[1], NULL, 0); char *p; while (1) { p = mmap((void *)ADDR_INPUT, nr_hp * HPS, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0); if (p != (void *)ADDR_INPUT) { perror("mmap"); break; } memset(p, 0, nr_hp * HPS); munmap(p, nr_hp * HPS); } } $ sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=40 $ ./hugepage 10 & $ ./movepages 10 $(pgrep -f hugepage) Fixes: e632a938d914 ("mm: migrate: add hugepage migration code to move_pages()") Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Reported-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Cc: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Cc: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.12+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
