From acc12b1b2744d0c7d0f462f9057bbca8427498c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 16:00:11 -0700 Subject: mm: Hold a file reference in madvise_remove commit 9ab4233dd08036fe34a89c7dc6f47a8bf2eb29eb upstream. Otherwise the code races with munmap (causing a use-after-free of the vma) or with close (causing a use-after-free of the struct file). The bug was introduced by commit 90ed52ebe481 ("[PATCH] holepunch: fix mmap_sem i_mutex deadlock") [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Adjust context - madvise_remove() calls vmtruncate_range(), not do_fallocate()] [luto: Backported to 3.0: Adjust context] Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Miklos Szeredi Cc: Badari Pulavarty Cc: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman [PG: commit e12fcd38abe8a869cbabd77724008f1cf812a3e7 in v3.0.37] Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker --- mm/madvise.c | 16 +++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'mm') diff --git a/mm/madvise.c b/mm/madvise.c index 319528b8db7..83aa92aad8b 100644 --- a/mm/madvise.c +++ b/mm/madvise.c @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include /* * Any behaviour which results in changes to the vma->vm_flags needs to @@ -191,14 +192,16 @@ static long madvise_remove(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct address_space *mapping; loff_t offset, endoff; int error; + struct file *f; *prev = NULL; /* tell sys_madvise we drop mmap_sem */ if (vma->vm_flags & (VM_LOCKED|VM_NONLINEAR|VM_HUGETLB)) return -EINVAL; - if (!vma->vm_file || !vma->vm_file->f_mapping - || !vma->vm_file->f_mapping->host) { + f = vma->vm_file; + + if (!f || !f->f_mapping || !f->f_mapping->host) { return -EINVAL; } @@ -212,9 +215,16 @@ static long madvise_remove(struct vm_area_struct *vma, endoff = (loff_t)(end - vma->vm_start - 1) + ((loff_t)vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT); - /* vmtruncate_range needs to take i_mutex and i_alloc_sem */ + /* + * vmtruncate_range may need to take i_mutex and i_alloc_sem. + * We need to explicitly grab a reference because the vma (and + * hence the vma's reference to the file) can go away as soon as + * we drop mmap_sem. + */ + get_file(f); up_read(¤t->mm->mmap_sem); error = vmtruncate_range(mapping->host, offset, endoff); + fput(f); down_read(¤t->mm->mmap_sem); return error; } -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
