From bf2b59f60ee1fefa768d62ec6e8f4b4d9e04c691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anshuman Khandual Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 09:58:42 +0530 Subject: arm64/mm: Hold memory hotplug lock while walking for kernel page table dump The arm64 page table dump code can race with concurrent modification of the kernel page tables. When a leaf entries are modified concurrently, the dump code may log stale or inconsistent information for a VA range, but this is otherwise not harmful. When intermediate levels of table are freed, the dump code will continue to use memory which has been freed and potentially reallocated for another purpose. In such cases, the dump code may dereference bogus addresses, leading to a number of potential problems. Intermediate levels of table may by freed during memory hot-remove, which will be enabled by a subsequent patch. To avoid racing with this, take the memory hotplug lock when walking the kernel page table.
