[PATCH 0/4] Fix type confusion in page_table_check

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

 



Recently, syzbot reported [1] ("kernel BUG in page_table_check_clear").
The root cause is that usbdev_mmap calls remap_pfn_range on kmalloc'ed
memory, which leads to type confusion between struct page and slab in
page_table_check. This series of patches fixes the usb side by avoiding
mapping slab pages into userspace, and fixes the mm side by enforcing
that all user-accessible pages are not slab pages. A more detailed
analysis and some discussion of how to fix the problem can also be found
in [1].
