Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-do-not-bug_on-missing-brk-mapping-because-userspace-can-unmap-it.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2022 18:41:52 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221210024153.6BF7FC433D2@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: do not BUG_ON missing brk mapping, because userspace can unmap it
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-do-not-bug_on-missing-brk-mapping-because-userspace-can-unmap-it.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

Subject: mm: do not BUG_ON missing brk mapping, because userspace can unmap it
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 17:27:24 +0100

The following program will trigger the BUG_ON that this patch removes,
because the user can munmap() mm->brk:

  #include <sys/syscall.h>
  #include <sys/mman.h>
  #include <assert.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  static void *brk_now(void)
  {
    return (void *)syscall(SYS_brk, 0);
  }

  static void brk_set(void *b)
  {
    assert(syscall(SYS_brk, b) != -1);
  }

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    void *b = brk_now();
    brk_set(b + 4096);
    assert(munmap(b - 4096, 4096 * 2) == 0);
    brk_set(b);
    return 0;
  }

Compile that with musl, since glibc actually uses brk(), and then
execute it, and it'll hit this splat:

Instead, just return the old brk value if the original mapping has been
removed.
