From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: zsmalloc: calling zs_map_object() from irq is a bug
Use BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in zs_map_object(). This is not a new
BUG_ON(), it's always been there, but was recently changed to VM_BUG_ON().
There are several problems there. First, we use use per-CPU mappings
both in zsmalloc and in zram, and interrupt may easily corrupt those
buffers. Second, and more importantly, we believe it's possible to start
leaking sensitive information. Consider the following case:
-> process P
swap out
zram
per-cpu mapping CPU1
compress page A
-> IRQ
swap out
zram
per-cpu mapping CPU1
compress page B
write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool
iret
-> process P
write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool [*]
return
* so we store overwritten data that actually belongs to another
page (task) and potentially contains sensitive data. And when
process P will page fault it's going to read (swap in) that
other task's data.
