From 2555283eb40df89945557273121e9393ef9b542b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 19:06:00 +0200 Subject: mm/rmap: Fix anon_vma->degree ambiguity leading to double-reuse anon_vma->degree tracks the combined number of child anon_vmas and VMAs that use the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma. anon_vma_clone() then assumes that for any anon_vma attached to src->anon_vma_chain other than src->anon_vma, it is impossible for it to be a leaf node of the VMA tree, meaning that for such VMAs ->degree is elevated by 1 because of a child anon_vma, meaning that if ->degree equals 1 there are no VMAs that use the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma. This assumption is wrong because the ->degree optimization leads to leaf nodes being abandoned on anon_vma_clone() - an existing anon_vma is reused and no new parent-child relationship is created. So it is possible to reuse an anon_vma for one VMA while it is still tied to another VMA. This is an issue because is_mergeable_anon_vma() and its callers assume that if two VMAs have the same ->anon_vma, the list of anon_vmas attached to the VMAs is guaranteed to be the same. When this assumption is violated, vma_merge() can merge pages into a VMA that is not attached to the corresponding anon_vma, leading to dangling page->mapping pointers that will be dereferenced during rmap walks. Fix it by separately tracking the number of child anon_vmas and the number of VMAs using the anon_vma as their ->anon_vma.
