BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in tcp_write_wakeup

From: Wei Chen
Date: Tue Dec 13 2022 - 08:12:15 EST


Dear Linux Developers,

Recently, when using our tool to fuzz kernel, the following crash was triggered.

HEAD commit: 76dcd734eca
git tree: linux-next
compiler: clang 12.0.0
console output:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mHUUrG4QFkrmP3xw7QgiytT7xWE6lbPy/view?usp=share_link
kernel config: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jH4qV5XblPADvMDUlvS7DwtW0FroMoVB/view?usp=share_link

Unfortunately, I do not have a reproducer for this crash. My manual
investigation found that the value of %rax may be invalid. When adding
statistics to net_statistics of the current network namespace, the
value of net->mib (which is %rax) is invalid. I'm wondering if sk or
net is freed, which causes an invalid address of mib.

IMPORTANT: if you fix the bug, please add the following tag to the commit:
