Commit 8c61291fd850 ("mm: fix incorrect vbq reference in purge_fragmented_block") extended the 'vmap_block' structure to contain a 'cpu' field which is set at allocation time to the id of the initialising CPU. When a new 'vmap_block' is being instantiated by new_vmap_block(), the partially initialised structure is added to the local 'vmap_block_queue' xarray before the 'cpu' field has been initialised. If another CPU is concurrently walking the xarray (e.g. via vm_unmap_aliases()), then it may perform an out-of-bounds access to the remote queue thanks to an uninitialised index. This has been observed as UBSAN errors in Android: | Internal error: UBSAN: array index out of bounds: 00000000f2005512 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | | Call trace: | purge_fragmented_block+0x204/0x21c | _vm_unmap_aliases+0x170/0x378 | vm_unmap_aliases+0x1c/0x28 | change_memory_common+0x1dc/0x26c | set_memory_ro+0x18/0x24 | module_enable_ro+0x98/0x238 | do_init_module+0x1b0/0x310 Move the initialisation of 'vb->cpu' in new_vmap_block() ahead of the addition to the xarray.

It would be great if somebody more familiar with this code could confirm either way, however. mm/vmalloc.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c index 6b783baf12a1..64c0a2c8a73c 100644 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@ -2626,6 +2626,7 @@ static void *new_vmap_block(unsigned int order, gfp_t gfp_mask) vb->dirty_max = 0; bitmap_set(vb->used_map, 0, (1UL << order)); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&vb->free_list); + vb->cpu = raw_smp_processor_id(); xa = addr_to_vb_xa(va->va_start); vb_idx = addr_to_vb_idx(va->va_start); @@ -2642,7 +2643,6 @@ static void *new_vmap_block(unsigned int order, gfp_t gfp_mask) * integrity together with list_for_each_rcu from read * side. */ - vb->cpu = raw_smp_processor_id(); vbq = per_cpu_ptr(&vmap_block_queue, vb->cpu); spin_lock(&vbq->lock); list_add_tail_rcu(&vb->free_list, &vbq->free); -- 2.46.0.76.ge559c4bf1a-goog
