Subject: mm: swap: use correct step in loop to wait all clusters in wait_for_allocation()
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:08:46 +0800
Use correct step in loop to wait all clusters in wait_for_allocation().
If we miss some cluster in wait_for_allocation(), use after free may occur
as follows:
shmem_writepage swapoff
folio_alloc_swap
get_swap_pages
scan_swap_map_slots
cluster_alloc_swap_entry
alloc_swap_scan_cluster
cluster_alloc_range
/* SWP_WRITEOK is valid */
if (!(si->flags & SWP_WRITEOK))
...
del_from_avail_list(p, true);
...
/* miss the cluster in shmem_writepage */
wait_for_allocation()
...
try_to_unuse()
memset(si->swap_map + start, usage, nr_pages);
swap_range_alloc(si, nr_pages);
ci->count += nr_pages;
/* return a valid entry */
...
exit_swap_address_space(p->type);
...
...
add_to_swap_cache
/* dereference swap_address_space(entry) which is NULL */
xas_lock_irq(&xas);
