After commit 2fd3fb0be1d1 ("kasan, vmalloc: unpoison VM_ALLOC pages after mapping"), non-VM_ALLOC mappings will be marked as accessible in __get_vm_area_node() when KASAN is enabled. But now the flag for ringbuf area is VM_ALLOC, so KASAN will complain out-of-bound access after vmap() returns. Because the ringbuf area is created by mapping allocated pages, so use VM_MAP instead. After the change, info in /proc/vmallocinfo also changes from [start]-[end] 24576 ringbuf_map_alloc+0x171/0x290 vmalloc user to [start]-[end] 24576 ringbuf_map_alloc+0x171/0x290 vmap user Reported-by: syzbot+5ad567a418794b9b5983@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: * explain why VM_ALLOC will lead to vmalloc-oob access * add Reported-by tag v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CANUnq3a+sT_qtO1wNQ3GnLGN7FLvSSgvit2UVgqQKRpUvs85VQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t --- kernel/bpf/ringbuf.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/ringbuf.c b/kernel/bpf/ringbuf.c index 638d7fd7b375..710ba9de12ce 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/ringbuf.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/ringbuf.c @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ static struct bpf_ringbuf *bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc(size_t data_sz, int numa_node) } rb = vmap(pages, nr_meta_pages + 2 * nr_data_pages, - VM_ALLOC | VM_USERMAP, PAGE_KERNEL); + VM_MAP | VM_USERMAP, PAGE_KERNEL); if (rb) { kmemleak_not_leak(pages); rb->pages = pages; -- 2.35.1
