From 64591e8605d6e2fba2ff38e3227645f039b8893f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suren Baghdasaryan Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2022 14:06:14 -0800 Subject: mm: protect free_pgtables with mmap_lock write lock in exit_mmap oom-reaper and process_mrelease system call should protect against races with exit_mmap which can destroy page tables while they walk the VMA tree. oom-reaper protects from that race by setting MMF_OOM_VICTIM and by relying on exit_mmap to set MMF_OOM_SKIP before taking and releasing mmap_write_lock. process_mrelease has to elevate mm->mm_users to prevent such race. Both oom-reaper and process_mrelease hold mmap_read_lock when walking the VMA tree. The locking rules and mechanisms could be simpler if exit_mmap takes mmap_write_lock while executing destructive operations such as free_pgtables. Change exit_mmap to hold the mmap_write_lock when calling unlock_range, free_pgtables and remove_vma. Note also that because oom-reaper checks VM_LOCKED flag, unlock_range() should not be allowed to race with it. Before this patch, remove_vma used to be called with no locks held, however with fput being executed asynchronously and vm_ops->close not being allowed to hold mmap_lock (it is called from __split_vma with mmap_sem held for write), changing that should be fine. In most cases this lock should be uncontended. Previously, Kirill reported ~4% regression caused by a similar change [1]. We reran the same test and although the individual results are quite noisy, the percentiles show lower regression with 1.6% being the worst case [2]. The change allows oom-reaper and process_mrelease to execute safely under mmap_read_lock without worries that exit_mmap might destroy page tables from under them.
