[PATCH 5.10 063/126] xtensa: fix uaccess-related livelock in do_page_fault

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

 



From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b9acbb6aad4f54623dcd4bd4b1a60fe0c727b09 upstream.

If a uaccess (e.g. get_user()) triggers a fault and there's a
fault signal pending, the handler will return to the uaccess without
having performed a uaccess fault fixup, and so the CPU will immediately
execute the uaccess instruction again, whereupon it will livelock
bouncing between that instruction and the fault handler.
