The patch titled Subject: mm, dump_page(): do not crash with invalid mapping pointer has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dump_page-do-not-crash-with-invalid-mapping-pointer.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm, dump_page(): do not crash with invalid mapping pointer We have seen a following problem on a RPi4 with 1G RAM: BUG: Bad page state in process systemd-hwdb pfn:35601 page:ffff7e0000d58040 refcount:15 mapcount:131221 mapping:efd8fe765bc80080 index:0x1 compound_mapcount: -32767 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address efd8fe765bc80080 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000004 Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 CM = 0, WnR = 0 [efd8fe765bc80080] address between user and kernel address ranges Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: btrfs libcrc32c xor xor_neon zlib_deflate raid6_pq mmc_block xhci_pci xhci_hcd usbcore sdhci_iproc sdhci_pltfm sdhci mmc_core clk_raspberrypi gpio_raspberrypi_exp pcie_brcmstb bcm2835_dma gpio_regulator phy_generic fixed sg scsi_mod efivarfs Supported: No, Unreleased kernel CPU: 3 PID: 408 Comm: systemd-hwdb Not tainted 5.3.18-8-default #1 SLE15-SP2 (unreleased) Hardware name: raspberrypi rpi/rpi, BIOS 2020.01 02/21/2020 pstate: 40000085 (nZcv daIf -PAN -UAO) pc : __dump_page+0x268/0x368 lr : __dump_page+0xc4/0x368 sp : ffff000012563860 x29: ffff000012563860 x28: ffff80003ddc4300 x27: 0000000000000010 x26: 000000000000003f x25: ffff7e0000d58040 x24: 000000000000000f x23: efd8fe765bc80080 x22: 0000000000020095 x21: efd8fe765bc80080 x20: ffff000010ede8b0 x19: ffff7e0000d58040 x18: ffffffffffffffff x17: 0000000000000001 x16: 0000000000000007 x15: ffff000011689708 x14: 3030386362353637 x13: 6566386466653a67 x12: 6e697070616d2031 x11: 32323133313a746e x10: 756f6370616d2035 x9 : ffff00001168a840 x8 : ffff00001077a670 x7 : 000000000000013d x6 : ffff0000118a43b5 x5 : 0000000000000001 x4 : ffff80003dd9e2c8 x3 : ffff80003dd9e2c8 x2 : 911c8d7c2f483500 x1 : dead000000000100 x0 : efd8fe765bc80080 Call trace: __dump_page+0x268/0x368 bad_page+0xd4/0x168 check_new_page_bad+0x80/0xb8 rmqueue_bulk.constprop.26+0x4d8/0x788 get_page_from_freelist+0x4d4/0x1228 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x134/0xe48 alloc_pages_vma+0x198/0x1c0 do_anonymous_page+0x1a4/0x4d8 __handle_mm_fault+0x4e8/0x560 handle_mm_fault+0x104/0x1e0 do_page_fault+0x1e8/0x4c0 do_translation_fault+0xb0/0xc0 do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0 el0_da+0x24/0x28 Code: f9401025 8b8018a0 9a851005 17ffffca (f94002a0) ---[ end trace 703ac54becfd8094 ]--- Besides the underlying issue with page->mapping containing a bogus value for some reason, we can see that __dump_page() crashed by trying to read the pointer at mapping->host, turning a recoverable warning into full Oops. It can be expected that when page is reported as bad state for some reason, the pointers there should not be trusted blindly. So this patch treats all data in __dump_page() that depends on page->mapping as lava, using probe_kernel_read_strict(). Ideally this would include the dentry->d_parent recursively, but that would mean changing printk handler for %pd. Chances of reaching the dentry printing part with an initially bogus mapping pointer should be rather low, though. Also prefix printing mapping->a_ops with a description of what is being printed. In case the value is bogus, %ps will print raw value instead of the symbol name and then it's not obvious at all that it's printing a_ops.
