commit c2c224932fd0ee6854d6ebfc8d059c2bcad86606 upstream.
There is a race on concurrent 2KB-pgtables release paths when
both upper and lower halves of the containing parent page are
freed, one via page_table_free_rcu() + __tlb_remove_table(),
and the other via page_table_free(). The race might lead to a
corruption as result of remove of list item in page_table_free()
concurrently with __free_page() in __tlb_remove_table().
Let's assume first the lower and next the upper 2KB-pgtables are
freed from a page. Since both halves of the page are allocated
the tracking byte (bits 24-31 of the page _refcount) has value
of 0x03 initially:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
page_table_free_rcu() // lower half
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x03
...
atomic_xor_bits(&page->_refcount,
0x11U << (0 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x12
...
table = table | (1U << 0);
tlb_remove_table(tlb, table);
}
...
__tlb_remove_table()
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x12
mask = _table & 3;
// mask <= 0x01
...
page_table_free() // upper half
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x12
...
atomic_xor_bits(
&page->_refcount,
1U << (1 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x10
// mask <= 0x10
...
atomic_xor_bits(&page->_refcount,
mask << (4 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x00
// mask <= 0x00
...
if (mask != 0) // == false
break;
fallthrough;
...
if (mask & 3) // == false
...
else
__free_page(page); list_del(&page->lru);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RACE! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
} ...
}
The problem is page_table_free() releases the page as result of
lower nibble unset and __tlb_remove_table() observing zero too
early. With this update page_table_free() will use the similar
logic as page_table_free_rcu() + __tlb_remove_table(), and mark
the fragment as pending for removal in the upper nibble until
after the list_del().
In other words, the parent page is considered as unreferenced and
safe to release only when the lower nibble is cleared already and
unsetting a bit in upper nibble results in that nibble turned zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
