Subject: mm: rework vm_ops->close() handling on VMA merge
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 21:07:05 +0100
In commit 714965ca8252 ("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be
removed in mergeability test") we relaxed the VMA merge rules for VMAs
possessing a vm_ops->close() hook, permitting this operation in instances
where we wouldn't delete the VMA as part of the merge operation.
This was later corrected in commit fc0c8f9089c2 ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge()
case 7 with vma_ops->close") to account for a subtle case that the previous
commit had not taken into account.
In both instances, we first rely on is_mergeable_vma() to determine whether
we might be dealing with a VMA that might be removed, taking advantage of
the fact that a 'previous' VMA will never be deleted, only VMAs that follow
it.
The second patch corrects the instance where a merge of the previous VMA
into a subsequent one did not correctly check whether the subsequent VMA
had a vm_ops->close() handler.
Both changes prevent merge cases that are actually permissible (for
instance a merge of a VMA into a following VMA with a vm_ops->close(), but
with no previous VMA, which would result in the next VMA being extended,
not deleted).
In addition, both changes fail to consider the case where a VMA that would
otherwise be merged with the previous and next VMA might have
vm_ops->close(), on the assumption that for this to be the case, all three
would have to have the same vma->vm_file to be mergeable and thus the same
vm_ops.
And in addition both changes operate at 50,000 feet, trying to guess
whether a VMA will be deleted.
As we have majorly refactored the VMA merge operation and de-duplicated
code to the point where we know precisely where deletions will occur, this
patch removes the aforementioned checks altogether and instead explicitly
checks whether a VMA will be deleted.
In cases where a reduced merge is still possible (where we merge both
previous and next VMA but the next VMA has a vm_ops->close hook, meaning we
could just merge the previous and current VMA), we do so, otherwise the
merge is not permitted.
We take advantage of our userland testing to assert that this functions
correctly - replacing the previous limited vm_ops->close() tests with tests
for every single case where we delete a VMA.
We also update all testing for both new and modified VMAs to set
vma->vm_ops->close() in every single instance where this would not prevent
the merge, to assert that we never do so.
