Subject: [PATCH 5.7 024/112] mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab()
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2020 17:16:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200707145802.139834419@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200707145800.925304888@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 52f23478081ae0dcdb95d1650ea1e7d52d586829 ]

The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page.
However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current
and next freepointer during allocation path.  As a result, once some
objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to
page fault.

Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128
slub_nomerge'.  The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free
object on purpose.  Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it
when iterating the freechain.

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000123456f8
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ... ...
  RIP: 0010:deactivate_slab.isra.92+0xed/0x490
  ... ...
  Call Trace:
   ___slab_alloc+0x536/0x570
   __slab_alloc+0x17/0x30

   do_syscall_64+0x49/0x170
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Therefore, this patch adds extra consistency check in deactivate_slab().
Once an object's freepointer is corrupted, all following objects
starting at this object are isolated.
