If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli commit 04f5866e41fb70690e28397487d8bd8eea7d712a upstream. The core dumping code has always run without holding the mmap_sem for writing, despite that is the only way to ensure that the entire vma layout will not change from under it. Only using some signal serialization on the processes belonging to the mm is not nearly enough. This was pointed out earlier. For example in Hugh's post from Jul 2017: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1707191716030.2055@eggly.anvils "Not strictly relevant here, but a related note: I was very surprised to discover, only quite recently, how handle_mm_fault() may be called without down_read(mmap_sem) - when core dumping. That seems a misguided optimization to me, which would also be nice to correct" In particular because the growsdown and growsup can move the vm_start/vm_end the various loops the core dump does around the vma will not be consistent if page faults can happen concurrently. Pretty much all users calling mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and then taking the mmap_sem had the potential to introduce unexpected side effects in the core dumping code. Adding mmap_sem for writing around the ->core_dump invocation is a viable long term fix, but it requires removing all copy user and page faults and to replace them with get_dump_page() for all binary formats which is not suitable as a short term fix. For the time being this solution manually covers the places that can confuse the core dump either by altering the vma layout or the vma flags while it runs. Once ->core_dump runs under mmap_sem for writing the function mmget_still_valid() can be dropped. Allowing mmap_sem protected sections to run in parallel with the coredump provides some minor parallelism advantage to the swapoff code (which seems to be safe enough by never mangling any vma field and can keep doing swapins in parallel to the core dumping) and to some other corner case. In order to facilitate the backporting I added "Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6" however the side effect of this same race condition in /proc/pid/mem should be reproducible since before 2.6.12-rc2 so I couldn't add any other "Fixes:" because there's no hash beyond the git genesis commit. Because find_extend_vma() is the only location outside of the process context that could modify the "mm" structures under mmap_sem for reading, by adding the mmget_still_valid() check to it, all other cases that take the mmap_sem for reading don't need the new check after mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm(). The expand_stack() in page fault context also doesn't need the new check, because all tasks under core dumping are frozen.
