From c50f8e6053b0503375c2975bf47f182445aebb4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Song baohua@kernel.org Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 13:14:00 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix kernel BUG when userfaultfd_move encounters swapcache
userfaultfd_move() checks whether the PTE entry is present or a swap entry.
- If the PTE entry is present, move_present_pte() handles folio migration by setting:
src_folio->index = linear_page_index(dst_vma, dst_addr);
- If the PTE entry is a swap entry, move_swap_pte() simply copies the PTE to the new dst_addr.
This approach is incorrect because, even if the PTE is a swap entry, it can still reference a folio that remains in the swap cache.
This creates a race window between steps 2 and 4. 1. add_to_swap: The folio is added to the swapcache. 2. try_to_unmap: PTEs are converted to swap entries. 3. pageout: The folio is written back. 4. Swapcache is cleared. If userfaultfd_move() occurs in the window between steps 2 and 4, after the swap PTE has been moved to the destination, accessing the destination triggers do_swap_page(), which may locate the folio in the swapcache. However, since the folio's index has not been updated to match the destination VMA, do_swap_page() will detect a mismatch.
This can result in two critical issues depending on the system configuration.
If KSM is disabled, both small and large folios can trigger a BUG during the add_rmap operation due to:
page_pgoff(folio, page) != linear_page_index(vma, address)

If KSM is enabled, Peter Xu also discovered that do_swap_page() may trigger an unexpected CoW operation for small folios because ksm_might_need_to_copy() allocates a new folio when the folio index does not match linear_page_index(vma, addr).
This patch also checks the swapcache when handling swap entries. If a match is found in the swapcache, it processes it similarly to a present PTE. However, there are some differences. For example, the folio is no longer exclusive because folio_try_share_anon_rmap_pte() is performed during unmapping. Furthermore, in the case of swapcache, the folio has already been unmapped, eliminating the risk of concurrent rmap walks and removing the need to acquire src_folio's anon_vma or lock.
Note that for large folios, in the swapcache handling path, we directly return -EBUSY since split_folio() will return -EBUSY regardless if the folio is under writeback or unmapped. This is not an urgent issue, so a follow-up patch may address it separately.
