Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Flush before free in remove_pagetable()
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2021 15:10:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210818221026.10794-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)


In remove_pagetable(), page tables may be freed before the TLB is
flushed. The upper page tables are zapped before freeing the lower
levels. However, without the flush the lower tables can still remain in
paging-structure caches and so data that is written to the re-allocated
page can control these mappings. For some reason there is only a flush
lower down in remove_pte_table(), however, this will not be hit in the
case of large pages on the direct map which is common.

Currently remove_pagetable() is called from a few places in the
hot unplug codepath and memremap unmapping operations.

To properly tear down these mappings, gather the page tables using a
simple linked list based in the table's struct page. Then flush the TLB
before actually freeing the pages.

This wasn't observed causing any functional problem in normal runtime. AFAICT it
can't be triggered from unprivileged userspace.
