I think this is a bug in memfd_secret. secretmem_setattr() can race with a page
being faulted in by secretmem_fault(). Specifically, a page can be faulted in
after secretmem_setattr() has set i_size but before it zeroes out the partial
page past i_size. memfd_secret pages aren't mapped in the kernel direct map, so
the crash occurs when the kernel tries to zero out the partial page.

I don't know what the best solution is -- maybe a rw_semaphore protecting
secretmem_fault() and secretmem_setattr()? Or perhaps secretmem_setattr()
should avoid the call to truncate_setsize() by not using simple_setattr(), given
that secretmem_setattr() only supports the size going from zero to nonzero.

The following commit tried to fix a similar bug, but it wasn't enough:

mm/secretmem: fix panic when growing a memfd_secret


Here's a simplified reproducer. Note, for memfd_secret to be supported, the
kernel config must contain CONFIG_SECRETMEM=y and the kernel command line must
contain secretmem.enable=1.

#include <pthread.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <unistd.h>

static volatile int fd;
static jmp_buf jump_buf;

static void *truncate_thread(void *arg)
{
for (;;)
ftruncate(fd, 1000);
}

static void handle_sigbus(int sig)
{
longjmp(jump_buf, 1);
}

int main(void)
{
struct sigaction act = {
.sa_handler = handle_sigbus,
.sa_flags = SA_NODEFER,
};
pthread_t t;
void *addr;

sigaction(SIGBUS, &act, NULL);

pthread_create(&t, NULL, truncate_thread, NULL);
for (;;) {
fd = syscall(__NR_memfd_secret, 0);
addr = mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (setjmp(jump_buf) == 0)
*(unsigned int *)addr = 0;
munmap(addr, 8192);
close(fd);
}
}
