[PATCH 6.12 10/35] mm/pagewalk: fix race between concurrent split and refault

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Max Boone <mboone@akamai.com>

[ Upstream commit 9b25a6e3d243a8ce14eeaf74082c621a9944c776 ]

The splitting of a PUD entry in walk_pud_range() can race with a
concurrent thread refaulting the PUD leaf entry causing it to try walking
a PMD range that has disappeared.

An example and reproduction of this is to try reading numa_maps of a
process while VFIO-PCI is setting up DMA (specifically the
vfio_pin_pages_remote call) on a large BAR for that process.

This will trigger a kernel BUG:
vfio-pci 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffa23980000000

Fix this by validating the PUD entry in walk_pmd_range() using a stable
snapshot (pudp_get()).  If the PUD is not present or is a leaf, retry the
walk via ACTION_AGAIN instead of descending further.  This mirrors the
retry logic in walk_pte_range(), which lets walk_pmd_range() retry if the
PTE is not being got by pte_offset_map_lock().
