When we try to visit the pagemap of a tagged userspace pointer, we find that the start_vaddr is not correct because of the tag. To fix it, we should untag the usespace pointers in pagemap_read(). I tested with 5.10-rc4 and the issue remains. My test code is baed on [1]: A userspace pointer which has been tagged by 0xb4: 0xb400007662f541c8 === userspace program === uint64 OsLayer::VirtualToPhysical(void *vaddr) { uint64 frame, paddr, pfnmask, pagemask; int pagesize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); off64_t off = ((uintptr_t)vaddr) / pagesize * 8; // off = 0xb400007662f541c8 / pagesize * 8 = 0x5a00003b317aa0 int fd = open(kPagemapPath, O_RDONLY); ... if (lseek64(fd, off, SEEK_SET) != off || read(fd, &frame, 8) != 8) { int err = errno; string errtxt = ErrorString(err); if (fd >= 0) close(fd); return 0; } ... } === kernel fs/proc/task_mmu.c === static ssize_t pagemap_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos) { ... src = *ppos; svpfn = src / PM_ENTRY_BYTES; // svpfn == 0xb400007662f54 start_vaddr = svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT; // start_vaddr == 0xb400007662f54000 end_vaddr = mm->task_size; /* watch out for wraparound */ // svpfn == 0xb400007662f54 // (mm->task_size >> PAGE) == 0x8000000 if (svpfn > mm->task_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) // the condition is true because of the tag 0xb4 start_vaddr = end_vaddr; ret = 0; while (count && (start_vaddr < end_vaddr)) { // we cannot visit correct entry because start_vaddr is set to end_vaddr int len; unsigned long end; ... } ... } [1] https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest/blob/master/src/os.cc#L158 Signed-off-by: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/proc/task_mmu.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c index 217aa2705d5d..e9a70f7ee515 100644 --- a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c +++ b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c @@ -1599,11 +1599,11 @@ static ssize_t pagemap_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, src = *ppos; svpfn = src / PM_ENTRY_BYTES; - start_vaddr = svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT; + start_vaddr = untagged_addr(svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT); end_vaddr = mm->task_size; /* watch out for wraparound */ - if (svpfn > mm->task_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) + if (start_vaddr > mm->task_size) start_vaddr = end_vaddr; /* -- 2.18.0
