Subject: [PATCH RFC v4] xarray: fix index jumping backwards in xas_find()
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:23:39 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4b9f783d-acf4-40a7-bb2a-00ed8e394bad@mail.kernel.org> (raw)

A bug in the XArray iterator xas_find() causes the iterator's index
(xas->xa_index) to jump backwards when iterating over a multi-index entry
(like a THP) that resides in a non-leaf node and is concurrently split.

When iterating over a multi-index entry in a non-leaf node, xas_load() sets
xas->xa_offset to the base offset of the entry, but leaves xas->xa_index at
the requested index. When the caller subsequently wants to advance to the
next entry, xas_find() is called. xas_find() attempts to synchronize
xas->xa_offset with xas->xa_index before advancing. However, the fixup
logic was incorrectly restricted to leaf nodes (!xas->xa_node->shift).
Because the THP resides in a non-leaf node, the fixup is skipped.

As a result, xas_find() simply increments xas->xa_offset and recalculates
xas->xa_index based on this new offset. This causes xas->xa_index to jump
backwards. If the THP was concurrently split, the entry at the new offset
is a node pointer, so xas_find() descends into it and returns the folio at
the backwards index. The caller (filemap_map_pages()) then calculates the
PTE pointer based on this backwards index, resulting in an invalid memory
access such as an out-of-bounds read or use-after-free on a page-table page
freed via tlb_remove_table_rcu().

To fix this, check if xas->xa_offset matches get_offset(xas->xa_index,
xas->xa_node). If it does not and the node is a non-leaf node, set
xas->xa_offset to get_offset(xas->xa_index, xas->xa_node) before advancing.
Also add test cases in test_xarray to verify xas_find() behavior when
iterating over and splitting multi-index entries.

v4:
- Removed verbatim KASAN crash report excerpt from the commit description.

v3:
- Renamed xas_split to split and passed xa_mk_index(0) to xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() in test_xarray.
- Updated commit description to clarify that the use-after-free occurs on a page-table page freed via tlb_remove_table_rcu().
- Changed subject prefix to lowercase 'xarray:'.
- Corrected the quoted crash report in the commit description.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/e2842b55-5d7f-47c1-bff1-28162cc1578d@mail.kernel.org/T/

v2:
- Corrected offset synchronization for non-leaf nodes to use get_offset(xas->xa_index, xas->xa_node).
- Added check_multi_find_4() self-test in lib/test_xarray.c to test multi-index entry lookups and concurrent splitting.
- Updated the commit description to include the KASAN slab-use-after-free report.
