Subject: [PATCH] mm: page_frag: Warn_on when frag_alloc size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE
Date: Sat, 28 May 2022 23:39:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1653752373-3172-1-git-send-email-chen45464546@163.com> (raw)

netdev_alloc_frag->page_frag_alloc may cause memory corruption in 
the following process:

1. A netdev_alloc_frag function call need alloc 200 Bytes to build a skb.

2. Insufficient memory to alloc PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER(32K) in 
__page_frag_cache_refill to fill frag cache, then one page(eg:4K) 
is allocated, now current frag cache is 4K, alloc is success, 
nc->pagecnt_bias--.

3. Then this 200 bytes skb in step 1 is freed, page->_refcount--.

4. Another netdev_alloc_frag function call need alloc 5k, page->_refcount 
is equal to nc->pagecnt_bias, reset page count bias and offset to 
start of new frag. page_frag_alloc will return the 4K memory for a 
5K memory request.

5. The caller write on the extra 1k memory which is not actual allocated 
will cause memory corruption.

page_frag_alloc is for fragmented allocation. We should warn the caller 
to avoid memory corruption.
