From be6e843fc51a584672dfd9c4a6a24c8cb81d5fb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gavin Guo gavinguo@igalia.com Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2025 19:35:36 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry
When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is no need to use pmd_to_swp_entry and pfn_swap_entry_to_page to verify the equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it cannot be served as the target.
Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anon_vma lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is precisely what the "folio != pmd_folio((*pmd)" check (and the "risk of replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

The bug is found by syzkaller on an internal kernel, then confirmed on upstream.
