If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ngoc Quy commit 4fb975471717c953f912776bb60301add1ffae11 upstream. The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl takes mmap_read_lock() on an mm obtained from /proc//pagemap without holding a reference to mm_users. proc_mem_open() deliberately grabs only mm_count, so a consumer that touches the address space has to call mmget_not_zero() first. Every other consumer in this file does -- m_start(), do_procmap_query(), show_smaps_rollup() and pagemap_read() -- but do_pagemap_scan() does not. Without that reference the target can reach exit_mmap() concurrently, and exit_mmap() calls unmap_vmas() while holding mmap_lock only for reading, which does not exclude the scanner. For ordinary VMAs this is harmless, as free_pgtables() and remove_vma() run afterwards under mmap_write_lock. A shared hugetlb VMA is different: __hugetlb_zap_end() frees the VMA's hugetlb_vma_lock inside the read-locked phase. walk_hugetlb_range() can therefore load vma->vm_private_data, have the lock freed underneath it, and then down_read() a freed rw_semaphore. The load happens before the freeing side clears the pointer, so this is a use-after-free and not a NULL dereference. Any unprivileged user can reach it with no huge pages configured, as hugetlb_reserve_pages() allocates the lock before the VM_NORESERVE early return. Pin mm_users across the scan, the way the other consumers do. mmput() from the exiting task can then no longer reach exit_mmap() while a walk is in progress.
