The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/migrate_device.c: flush TLB while holding PTL has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-migrate_devicec-flush-tlb-while-holding-ptl.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alistair Popple <apopple@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/migrate_device.c: flush TLB while holding PTL Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 10:35:51 +1000 When clearing a PTE the TLB should be flushed whilst still holding the PTL to avoid a potential race with madvise/munmap/etc. For example consider the following sequence: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- migrate_vma_collect_pmd() pte_unmap_unlock() madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) -> zap_pte_range() pte_offset_map_lock() [ PTE not present, TLB not flushed ] pte_unmap_unlock() [ page is still accessible via stale TLB ] flush_tlb_range() In this case the page may still be accessed via the stale TLB entry after madvise returns. Fix this by flushing the TLB while holding the PTL.
