Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/pagemap: Prevent double migration of device pages
A device-private folio migrated to system memory by a CPU fault can
remain reachable through the raw-PFN eviction path until migration
finalization drops the source reference.
If eviction selects the same device-private folio during this window,
it can attempt to migrate the folio again. The second migration can leave
an uncharged folio on an LRU list, causing folio_lruvec_lock_irqsave() to
retry indefinitely and resulting in a soft lockup and RCU stall.
Mark successfully migrated device-private folios using a low bit of
their zone_device_data before migration finalization. Make both CPU-fault
and raw-PFN migration paths skip device-private folios carrying this
flag.
Mask the flag when retrieving the drm_pagemap_zdd pointer and preserve
it when a device-private folio is split. Keeping the state on the physical
folio also avoids depending on a virtual address that may change before a
fault occurs.
v2:
- Replace the retired-PFN XArray with an embedded bitmap. (Matthew Brost)
- Mark every base page covered by a migrated folio so retirement remains
valid if the folio is later split.
v3:
- Store the migrated state in a low bit of zone_device_data instead of
adding virtual-range and bitmap tracking to the ZDD. (Matthew Brost)
- Mask the flag when retrieving the ZDD and preserve it when splitting
a folio.
- Drop the pre-existing fixes already covered by Matthew Brost's series:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/171651/
v4:
- Advance by the folio size only for migration entries marked with
MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND. (Sashiko)
v5:
- Simplify ZDD flag updates and folio iteration. (Matthew Brost)
- Skip retired device-private folios in the CPU-fault path. (Matthew Brost)
- Preserve flag bits while taking a new ZDD reference for split folios.
v6:
- Restore MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND-aware stepping so non-compound migration
entries are processed one at a time. (Sashiko)
- Drop the pre-existing fixes already covered by Matthew Brost's series:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/171651/
