[PATCH v3] mm/migrate: fix shmem xarray update during migration

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

 



A shmem folio can be either in page cache or in swap cache, but not at the
same time. Namely, once it is in swap cache, folio->mapping should be NULL,
and the folio is no longer in a shmem mapping.

In __folio_migrate_mapping(), to determine the number of xarray entries
to update, folio_test_swapbacked() is used, but that conflates shmem in
page cache case and shmem in swap cache case. It leads to xarray
multi-index entry corruption, since it turns a sibling entry to a
normal entry during xas_store() (see [1] for a userspace reproduction).
Fix it by only using folio_test_swapcache() to determine whether xarray
is storing swap cache entries or not to choose the right number of xarray
entries to update.

Note:
In __split_huge_page(), folio_test_anon() && folio_test_swapcache() is used
to get swap_cache address space, but that ignores the shmem folio in swap
cache case. It could lead to NULL pointer dereferencing when a
in-swap-cache shmem folio is split at __xa_store(), since
!folio_test_anon() is true and folio->mapping is NULL. But fortunately,
its caller split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() bails out early with EBUSY
when folio->mapping is NULL. So no need to take care of it here.
