[PATCH v8 1/3] mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb()

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Fri Apr 08 2022 - 09:53:45 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.
The one simple result is that wrong processes can be killed, but another
(more serious) one is that the actual error is left unhandled, so no one
prevents later access to it, and that might lead to more serious results
like consuming corrupted data.

Think about the below race window:

CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.

get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...

The current code first does prechecks roughly and then reconfirms
after taking refcount, but it's found that it makes code overly
complicated, so move the prechecks in a single hugetlb_lock range.

A newly introduced function, try_memory_failure_hugetlb(), always
takes hugetlb_lock (even for non-hugetlb pages). That can be
improved, but memory_failure() is rare in principle, so should
not be a big problem.

ChangeLog v7 -> v8
- move hwpoison_filter() within page locking.

ChangeLog v6 -> v7:
- Move lock_page() to try_memory_failure_hugetlb()
(based on bug report from Dan Carpenter)
- Add Fixes: tag and CC to stable.

ChangeLog v5 -> v6:
- Moved racy precheck operations into hugetlb_lock (based on
Mike's comment).
- rebased onto v5.18-rc1.
- dropped CC to stable.

ChangeLog v4 -> v5:
- call TestSetPageHWPoison() when page_handle_poison() fails.
- call TestSetPageHWPoison() for unhandlable cases (MF_MSG_UNKNOWN and
MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE).
- Set PageHWPoison on the head page only when the error page is surely
a hugepage, otherwise set the flag on the raw page.
- rebased onto v5.17-rc8-mmotm-2022-03-16-17-42

ChangeLog v3 -> v4:
- squash with "mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page
compound again".
- update patch subject and description based on it.

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.
