Yes. Accessing "vma" after calling "handle_mm_fault()" is a bug. An
unfortunate issue with userfaultfd.
The suggested fix to simply look up pkey beforehand seems sane and simple.
But sadly, from a quick check, it looks like arch/um/ has the same
bug, but even worse. It will do
(a) handle_mm_fault() in a loop without re-calculating vma. Don't ask me why.
(b) flush_tlb_page(vma, address); afterwards
but much more importantly, I think __get_user_pages() is broken in two ways:
- faultin_page() does:
ret = handle_mm_fault(vma, address, fault_flags);
...
if ((ret & VM_FAULT_WRITE) && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
(easily fixed the same way)
- more annoyingly and harder to fix: the retry case in
__get_user_pages(), and the VMA saving there.
Ho humm.
Andrea, looking at that get_user_pages() case, I really think it's
userfaultfd that is broken.
Could we perhaps limit userfaultfd to _only_ do the VM_FAULT_RETRY,
and simply fail for non-retry faults?
