[PATCH v2] mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in
get_swap_page_of_type:

  Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent.  This
  seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is
  valid and so "si" can be NULL.

Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to
ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order:

     CPU0                           CPU1
     alloc_swap_info()              if (type >= nr_swapfiles)
       swap_info[type] = p              /* handle invalid entry */
       smp_wmb()                    smp_rmb()
       ++nr_swapfiles               p = swap_info[type]

Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before
CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type].

Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads
properly.  Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage.

Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model
(see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt).

This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held
(e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles
and the swap_info array.

v1 -> v2
 - Rebased to latest mainline per Andrew
 - Added tags from Andrea and Peter (thanks)
 - Fixed loop conditions as Peter suggested and converted a few more
   places to use swap_type_to_swap_info; retained tags since changes
   were minor
 - Added a Suggested-by for Ying
 - Amended changelog after Dan's comment
