From f268f6cf875f3220afc77bdd0bf1bb136eb54db9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2022 22:37:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
Any codepath that zaps page table entries must invoke MMU notifiers to ensure that secondary MMUs (like KVM) don't keep accessing pages which aren't mapped anymore. Secondary MMUs don't hold their own references to pages that are mirrored over, so failing to notify them can lead to page use-after-free.
I'm marking this as addressing an issue introduced in commit f3f0e1d2150b ("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages"), but most of the security impact of this only came in commit 27e1f8273113 ("khugepaged: enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP"), which actually omitted flushes for the removal of present PTEs, not just for the removal of empty page tables.
