Subject: [PATCH 4.14] perf/core: Avoid put_page() when GUP fails
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 09:18:25 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211122171825.1582436-1-gthelen@google.com> (raw)
commit 4716023a8f6a0f4a28047f14dd7ebdc319606b84 upstream.
PEBS PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR events use perf_virt_to_phys() to convert PMU
sampled virtual addresses to physical using get_user_page_fast_only()
and page_to_phys().
Some get_user_page_fast_only() error cases return false, indicating no
page reference, but still initialize the output page pointer with an
unreferenced page. In these error cases perf_virt_to_phys() calls
put_page(). This causes page reference count underflow, which can lead
to unintentional page sharing.
Fix perf_virt_to_phys() to only put_page() if get_user_page_fast_only()
returns a referenced page.
Fixes: fc7ce9c74c3ad ("perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR")
