[PATCH] mm: fix dereference a null pointer in migrate[_huge]_page_move_mapping()

[PATCH] mm: fix dereference a null pointer in migrate[_huge]_page_move_mapping()

[liqiong]

Upstream has no this bug.

The two functions look up a slot and dereference the pointer,
If the pointer is null, the kernel would crash and dump.

The 'numad' service calls 'migrate_pages' periodically. If some slots
being replaced (Cache Eviction), the radix_tree_lookup_slot() returns
a null pointer, then, kernel crash.

"numad":  crash> bt
[exception RIP: migrate_page_move_mapping+337]

Introduct a pointer checking to avoid dereference a null pointer.

Dito. If this is fixed upstream and broken in stable kernels, we'd want
either a backport of the relevant upstream fix, or if too complicated, a
stable-only fix.

There is a wrong describe， i thought 'Upstream' as the newest code.
The newest code has no this bug, i should submit this patch to "longterm:4.19".
How could i do it ?

Thanks.

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst

Make sure your patch subject starts with something like "[PATCH 4.19
STABLE]" and that your patch targets that stable branch.

Make sure to describe why it doesn't apply to upstream, how it was fixed
upstream, and why we cannot simply backport the upstream way to fix it.

Thanks!

Hi Greg,

Upstream replaces migrate_page_move_mapping() with folio_migrate_mapping(),
does not use radix tree any more. So, the upstream don't have the null
pointer bug.

We found and fix this bug on '4.19.191'.

Hi Gerg,

Sorry, i may understand your confusion.
I thought 'Upstream' as the newest code, so, I said 'Upstream has no this bug'.

Yes, we found this bug on 'Upstream v4.19.191'.

How could i submit this patch to 'longterm: 4.19'.

Thanks.

[PATCH] [PATCH 4.19 STABLE] mm: fix dereference a null pointer in migrate[_huge]_page_move_mapping()

[liqiong]

Upstream doesn't use radix tree any more in migrate.c, no need this patch.

The two functions look up a slot and dereference the pointer,
If the pointer is null, the kernel would crash and dump.

The 'numad' service calls 'migrate_pages' periodically. If some slots
being replaced (Cache Eviction), the radix_tree_lookup_slot() returns
a null pointer that causes kernel crash.

"numad":  crash> bt
[exception RIP: migrate_page_move_mapping+337]

Introduce pointer checking to avoid dereference a null pointer.
