[PATCH 0/2] mm/hmm: two bug fixes for hmm_range_fault()

[Ralph Campbell]

I have been working on converting Jerome's hmm_dummy driver and self
tests into a stand-alone set of tests to be included in
tools/testing/selftests/vm and came across these two bug fixes in the
process. The tests aren't quite ready to be posted as a patch.
I'm posting the fixes now since I thought they shouldn't wait.
They should probably have a fixes line but with all the HMM changes,
I wasn't sure exactly which commit to use.

These are based on top of Jason's latest hmm branch.

[PATCH 1/2] mm/hmm: hmm_range_fault() NULL pointer bug

[Ralph Campbell]

Although hmm_range_fault() calls find_vma() to make sure that a vma exists
before calling walk_page_range(), hmm_vma_walk_hole() can still be called
with walk->vma == NULL if the start and end address are not contained
within the vma range.

Should we convert to walk_vma_range instead?  Or keep walk_page_range
but drop searching the vma ourselves?

Except for that the patch looks good to me:

I think keeping the call to walk_page_range() makes sense.
Jason is hoping to be able to snapshot a range with & without vmas
and have the pfns[] filled with empty/valid entries as appropriate.

I plan to repost my patch changing hmm_range_fault() to use
walk.test_walk which will remove the call to find_vma().
Jason had some concerns about testing it so that's why I have
been working on some HMM self tests before resending it.

I'm really excited to see tests for hmm_range_fault()!

Did you find this bug with the tests??

Yes, I found both bugs with the tests.
I started with Jerome's hmm_dummy driver and user level test code.
Hopefully I can send it out this week.

[PATCH 2/2] mm/hmm: hmm_range_fault() infinite loop

[Ralph Campbell]

Normally, callers to handle_mm_fault() are supposed to check the
vma->vm_flags first. hmm_range_fault() checks for VM_READ but doesn't
check for VM_WRITE if the caller requests a page to be faulted in
with write permission (via the hmm_range.pfns[] value).
If the vma is write protected, this can result in an infinite loop:
  hmm_range_fault()
    walk_page_range()
      ...
      hmm_vma_walk_hole()
        hmm_vma_walk_hole_()
          hmm_vma_do_fault()
            handle_mm_fault(FAULT_FLAG_WRITE)
            /* returns VM_FAULT_WRITE */
          /* returns -EBUSY */
        /* returns -EBUSY */
      /* returns -EBUSY */
    /* loops on -EBUSY and range->valid */
Prevent this by checking for vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE before calling
handle_mm_fault().

Can walk->vma be NULL here? hmm_vma_do_fault() touches it
unconditionally.

walk->vma can be NULL. hmm_vma_do_fault() no longer touches it
unconditionally, that is what the preceding patch fixes.
I suppose I could change hmm_vma_walk_hole_() to check for NULL
and fill in the pfns[] array, I just chose to handle it in
hmm_vma_do_fault().

Okay, yes maybe long term it would be clearer to do the vma null check
closer to the start of the callback, but this is a good enough bug fix
