Documentation of __pte_offset_map_lock suggest there is situations where a pmd may not have a corresponding page table, in which case it should return NULL without changing ptlp. Syzbot found its ways to produce a NULL dereference in the function showing this case. This patch will provide the exit path suggested if this unlikely situation turns up. The output of the kasan null-ptr-report follows: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff800000000004 KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027] Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000005 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005, ISS2 = 0x00000000 CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [dfff800000000004] address between user and kernel address ranges Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 7952 Comm: syz-executor682 Not tainted 6.6.0-rc6-syzkaller-g78124b0c1d10 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/06/2023 pstate: 804000c5 (Nzcv daIF +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : __lock_acquire+0x104/0x75e8 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5004 lr : lock_acquire+0x23c/0x71c kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5753 sp : ffff800098f26d40 x29: ffff800098f27000 x28: ffff8000808df4bc x27: ffff7000131e4e18 x26: 1ffff00011c340b9 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: 0000000000000000 x23: ffff7000131e4dd0 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: 0000000000000000 x20: 0000000000000000 x19: 0000000000000022 x18: ffff800098f27750 x17: 0000ffff833dafff x16: ffff80008a632120 x15: 0000000000000001 x14: ffff80008e1a05d0 x13: ffff800098f26e80 x12: dfff800000000000 x11: ffff800080319468 x10: ffff80008e1a05cc x9 : 00000000000000f3 x8 : 0000000000000004 x7 : ffff8000808df4bc x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000001 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000022 Call trace: __lock_acquire+0x104/0x75e8 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5004 lock_acquire+0x23c/0x71c kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5753 __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:133 [inline] _raw_spin_lock+0x48/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:154 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:351 [inline] __pte_offset_map_lock+0x154/0x360 mm/pgtable-generic.c:373 pte_offset_map_lock include/linux/mm.h:2939 [inline] filemap_map_pages+0x698/0x11f0 mm/filemap.c:3582 do_fault_around mm/memory.c:4525 [inline] do_read_fault mm/memory.c:4558 [inline] do_fault mm/memory.c:4705 [inline] do_pte_missing mm/memory.c:3669 [inline] handle_pte_fault mm/memory.c:4978 [inline] __handle_mm_fault mm/memory.c:5119 [inline] handle_mm_fault+0x326c/0x49fc mm/memory.c:5284 faultin_page mm/gup.c:956 [inline] __get_user_pages+0x3e0/0xa24 mm/gup.c:1239 populate_vma_page_range+0x254/0x328 mm/gup.c:1666 __mm_populate+0x240/0x3d8 mm/gup.c:1775 mm_populate include/linux/mm.h:3305 [inline] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x2bc/0x3d4 mm/util.c:551 ksys_mmap_pgoff+0xd0/0x5b0 mm/mmap.c:1400 __do_sys_mmap arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c:28 [inline] __se_sys_mmap arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c:21 [inline] __arm64_sys_mmap+0xf8/0x110 arch/arm64/kernel/sys.c:21 __invoke_syscall arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:37 [inline] invoke_syscall+0x98/0x2b8 arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:51 el0_svc_common+0x130/0x23c arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:136 do_el0_svc+0x48/0x58 arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:155 el0_svc+0x54/0x158 arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:678 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x84/0xfc arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:696 el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194 arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:595 Code: b006f948 b943a108 34000208 d343fe68 (386c6908) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- ---------------- Code disassembly (best guess): 0: b006f948 adrp x8, 0xdf29000 4: b943a108 ldr w8, [x8, #928] 8: 34000208 cbz w8, 0x48 c: d343fe68 lsr x8, x19, #3 * 10: 386c6908 ldrb w8, [x8, x12] <-- trapping instruction Reported-by: syzbot+89edd67979b52675ddec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 0d940a9b270b9 ("mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail") Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=7494636a5865150aecc6e480e0e7e17f2980ad8d Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/mm.h | 4 ++-- mm/pgtable-generic.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h index 418d26608ece..38d876529e1f 100644 --- a/include/linux/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/mm.h @@ -2854,7 +2854,7 @@ void ptlock_free(struct ptdesc *ptdesc); static inline spinlock_t *ptlock_ptr(struct ptdesc *ptdesc) { - return ptdesc->ptl; + return (likely(ptdesc)) ?
