[PATCH v3] mm/hwpoison: set PageHWPoison after passing prechecks in memory_failure_hugetlb()

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Tue Mar 15 2022 - 21:46:03 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

There is a race condition between memory_failure_hugetlb() and hugetlb
free/demotion, which causes setting PageHWPoison flag on the wrong page
(which was a hugetlb when memory_failure() was called, but was removed
or demoted when memory_failure_hugetlb() is called). This results in
killing wrong processes. So set PageHWPoison flag after passing prechecks.

The actual user-visible effect might be obscure because even if
memory_failure() works as expected, some random process could be killed.
Even worse, the actual error is left unhandled, so no one prevents later
access to it, which might lead to more serious results like consuming
corrupted data.

This patch depends on Miaohe's patch titled "mm/memory-failure.c: fix
race with changing page compound again".

ChangeLog v2 -> v3:
- rename the patch because page lock is not the primary factor to
solve the reported issue.
- updated description in the same manner.
- call page_handle_poison() instead of __page_handle_poison() for
free hugepage case.
- reorder put_page and unlock_page (thanks to Miaohe Lin)

ChangeLog v1 -> v2:
- pass subpage to get_hwpoison_huge_page() instead of head page.
- call compound_head() in hugetlb_lock to avoid race with hugetlb
demotion/free.
