[PATCH 5.0 119/122] x86/mm: Fix a crash with kmemleak_scan()

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

 



From: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx>

commit 0d02113b31b2017dd349ec9df2314e798a90fa6e upstream.

The first kmemleak_scan() call after boot would trigger the crash below
because this callpath:

  kernel_init
    free_initmem
      mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem
        free_init_pages

unmaps memory inside the .bss when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y.

kmemleak_init() will register the .data/.bss sections and then
kmemleak_scan() will scan those addresses and dereference them looking
for pointer references. If free_init_pages() frees and unmaps pages in
those sections, kmemleak_scan() will crash if referencing one of those
addresses:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffbd402000
  CPU: 12 PID: 325 Comm: kmemleak Not tainted 5.1.0-rc4+ #4
  RIP: 0010:scan_block
  Call Trace:
   scan_gray_list
   kmemleak_scan
   kmemleak_scan_thread
   kthread
   ret_from_fork

Since kmemleak_free_part() is tolerant to unknown objects (not tracked
by kmemleak), it is fine to call it from free_init_pages() even if not
all address ranges passed to this function are known to kmemleak.
