Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: page_frag: Warn_on when frag_alloc size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE
Date: Mon, 30 May 2022 21:39:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1653917942-5982-1-git-send-email-chen45464546@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220529163029.12425c1e5286d7c7e3fe3708@linux-foundation.org>

netdev_alloc_frag->page_frag_alloc may cause memory corruption in 
the following process:

1. A netdev_alloc_frag function call need alloc 200 Bytes to build a skb.

2. Insufficient memory to alloc PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER(32K) in 
__page_frag_cache_refill to fill frag cache, then one page(eg:4K) 
is allocated, now current frag cache is 4K, alloc is success, 
nc->pagecnt_bias--.

3. Then this 200 bytes skb in step 1 is freed, page->_refcount--.

4. Another netdev_alloc_frag function call need alloc 5k, page->_refcount 
is equal to nc->pagecnt_bias, reset page count bias and offset to 
start of new frag. page_frag_alloc will return the 4K memory for a 
5K memory request.

5. The caller write on the extra 1k memory which is not actual allocated 
will cause memory corruption.

page_frag_alloc is for fragmented allocation. We should warn the caller 
to avoid memory corruption.

When fragsz is larger than one page, we report the failure and return.
I don't think it is a good idea to make efforts to support the
allocation of more than one page in this function because the total
frag cache size(PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_SIZE 32768) is relatively small.
When the request is larger than one page, the caller should switch to
use other kernel interfaces, such as kmalloc and alloc_Pages.

This bug is mainly caused by the reuse of the previously allocated
frag cache memory by the following LARGER allocations. This bug existed
before page_frag_alloc was ported from __netdev_alloc_frag in 
net/core/skbuff.c, so most Linux versions have this problem.
