[PATCH v2 0/5] mm: fix inode UAF when splitting a file folio past EOF

[PATCH v2 0/5] mm: fix inode UAF when splitting a file folio past EOF

[Kiryl Shutsemau]

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

This fixes a use-after-free of the inode in __folio_split(), reported by
Hao Zhang, and cleans up the split helpers the fix leaves unused.

The bug: __folio_split() keeps dereferencing folio->mapping after the
split (shmem_uncharge(), i_mmap_unlock_read()), relying on the locked
@lock_at folio staying in the page cache to hold off inode eviction.
memory_failure() splits at a poisoned *tail*, and when that tail is
beyond EOF the split drops it from the page cache yet still returns it
locked -- the inode pin is gone, and a racing final iput() can evict and
free the inode mid-split.

v1 [1] pinned the inode with igrab()/iput() inside __folio_split().
Sashiko pointed out that the iput() under the folio lock can
self-deadlock: if it drops the last reference, eviction blocks on the
very folio the caller still holds locked. Thanks!

v2 drops that approach for two smaller changes:

 - memory_failure() is the only caller that passed a tail as the split
   anchor. Patch 1 makes it lock and split at the head instead. The head
   is piece 0, which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, so it always
   stays in the page cache and keeps the inode pinned. This alone fixes
   the UAF.

 - Patch 2 makes the requirement explicit in __folio_split(): refuse the
   split with -EBUSY when the anchor is beyond EOF, so no future caller
   can reintroduce it. No refcounting, no lock reordering.

Both are tagged for stable; patch 1 comes first so patch 2's guard never
changes memory_failure() behaviour.

Patches 3-5 are cleanups (not for stable). Patch 1 leaves
split_huge_page_to_order() with no callers, and the audit found
can_split_folio() (dead) and split_folio_to_list_to_order() (only ever
called with a NULL list) alongside it. Remove/fold them.

Only compile- and boot-tested: I could confirm memory_failure() enters
__folio_split() with a tail anchor (the pattern patch 1 removes) and that
the fixed kernel is stable, but not land the exact UAF -- the race window
is narrow enough that my instrumentation could not open it reliably.

[PATCH v2 1/5] mm/memory-failure: keep the folio, not the poisoned subpage, locked across split

[Kiryl Shutsemau]

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

try_to_split_thp_page() locked the poisoned page and passed it to
split_huge_page_to_order(), which returns that very page locked to the
caller.  For a tail page that means __folio_split() runs with @lock_at
pointing into the middle of the folio.

__folio_split() dereferences the mapping after the split completes
(shmem_uncharge(), i_mmap_unlock_read()).  The only thing keeping the
inode alive across that is the locked @lock_at folio: while it stays in
the page cache, eviction cannot complete.

But a tail @lock_at can lie beyond EOF -- e.g. part of a shmem THP that
reaches past i_size while the file is being truncated.  The split then
drops it from the page cache yet still returns it locked, so the pin is
gone and a racing final iput() can evict and RCU-free the inode while
__folio_split() is still running:

Split the folio as a folio, via split_folio_to_order(), so the head is

loop never removes (it starts at folio_next(folio)), so the split always
leaves it in the page cache and the inode stays pinned for the whole of
__folio_split().  memory_failure() and soft offline re-lock the poisoned
subpage's folio themselves after the split, so they do not depend on it

With a non-uniform split it would actually make a difference: we'd want to split
such that we the other folio pages minimal.

 split_folio_to_order() always seems to end up in
__split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() where we do a SPLIT_TYPE_UNIFORM.

I recall discussing with Zi and Willy that in the future we'd want to convert
more places to do a non-uniform split.

So I'm afraid that would just re-introduce the problem then.

Right. Non-uniform split can be useful.

But my patch is completely broken because code expects the pin to be on the
@page, not on the head. put_page() few lines down can explode already.

So the fix does not belong in memory_failure(). It belongs in
__folio_split(), and it is really just 2/5: refuse the split with -EBUSY
when @lock_at is at or beyond the sampled EOF.

The safety then sits in __folio_split() regardless of caller or split type,
which should also cover your non-uniform worry.

The behavioural change is that memory_failure() reports a beyond-EOF
poisoned tail as unsplit (MF_FAILED) instead of recovered, and kills the
mappers instead of splitting the page off. What we give up is salvaging
the folio's healthy pages and the clean unmap -- both low value for a page
that is beyond EOF and getting truncated away. Containment is unaffected:
PageHWPoison is set before the split and free_pages_prepare() keeps a
poisoned page out of the buddy allocator, so the bad page never comes back
regardless.

The alternative, if we would rather keep the recovered outcome, is to leave
@lock_at as the poisoned page and move i_mmap_unlock_read() (and
shmem_uncharge()) ahead of the after-split unlock loop, so every mapping
dereference happens while @folio -- the head, within EOF -- still pins the
inode. That is close to Hao's original patch. It works, but it rests on "no
mapping dereference after the unlock loop", which is its own fragility.

I lean towards the -EBUSY guard.

Comments?

At least it can be well documented.

The latter approach seems cleaner to me, but let's hear others as well.

There is an alternative, only igrab() when @lock_at is at or beyond the EOF,
as I was bouncing ideas with Codex.

Some subtlety exists in these two “@lock_at at or beyond EOF” approaches.
When @lock_at can be a tail page of an after-split folio, Patch 2 returns
-EBUSY unnecessarily, since the after-split folio containing @lock_at will
be still in xarray, preventing inode going away. To make a precise decision,
we will need to determine the index of the after-split folio containing @lock_at
when checking against end. It is easy for uniform split, namely

lock_at_folio_index =
	folio->index + round_down(lock_at - &folio->page, 1UL << new_order);

but for non-uniform split, the calculation is more involved and I have not
figured it out yet.

If we go “return -EBUSY if @lock_at index is at or beyond EOF”, are we OK
with not being able to split a folio when it is actually splittable?

This approach works without changing existing behavior, as long as we document
the requirement well.

I admit that this is another implicit synchronization in folio split process,
in addition to
1) keeping original folio frozen until xarray is updated and
2) do not update xarray with after-split folios until after-split folios are
unfrozen.

I prefer moving i_mmap_unlock_read() before the unlock loop (shmem_uncharge()
is already before the loop), but I am more than happy to be convinced that
“return -EBUSY” is better or something else.

I saw this option too, but I wound rather not go this path.

iput() still can lead to inode eviction an bunch of random filesystem
complexity under us. I don't think we want to think about other
fs-related locking issues in split context.

Your reasoning makes sense to me. Let's ignore this option.

For your patch 2, we might want something like below to avoid over
rejecting splits. WDYT?

offset = folio_page_idx(folio, lock_at);

if (split_type == SPLIT_TYPE_UNIFORM)
	lock_at_index = folio->index + round_down(offset, 1UL << new_order);
else
	/* @lock_at in non uniform split is always @folio */
	lock_at_index = folio->index;

if (lock_at_index >= end) {
	ret = -EBUSY;
	goto out_unlock;
}


Also to keep a record in case we want to have @lock_at pointing to any
tail page for non uniform split in the future, something like below is
going to be useful (assisted by Codex).

static pgoff_t split_lock_at_index(struct folio *folio,
		unsigned int new_order, struct page *split_at,
		struct page *lock_at, enum split_type split_type)
{
	unsigned long lock = folio_page_idx(folio, lock_at);
	unsigned long split = folio_page_idx(folio, split_at);
	int order;

	if (split_type == SPLIT_TYPE_UNIFORM)
		return folio->index + round_down(lock, 1UL << new_order);

	for (order = folio_order(folio) - 1; order >= new_order; order--) {
		unsigned long size = 1UL << order;
		unsigned long lock_base = round_down(lock, size);
		unsigned long split_base = round_down(split, size);

		/* folio containing @lock_at will not be split any more */
		if (lock_base != split_base)
			return folio->index + lock_base;
	}
	
	return folio->index + round_down(lock, 1UL << new_order);
}

if (split_lock_at_index(folio, new_order, split_at, lock_at, split_type) >= end) {
	ret = -EBUSY;
	goto out_unlock;
}

Right. With the -EBUSY condition growing this hairy -- and having to stay
correct for non-uniform splits too -- just moving i_mmap_unlock_read() out
of the window looks more attractive.

This is really Hao's original patch with the reasoning corrected, so I kept
him as author. v3 below.

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

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>
Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/huge_memory: unlock i_mmap_rwsem before releasing
 after-split folios

__folio_split() keeps dereferencing the mapping after the split:
shmem_uncharge(mapping->host) and remap_page() while the folios are still
frozen/locked, and i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) at the very end, after the
after-split folios have been unlocked and freed.

Nothing holds an inode reference across that. The split relies on @folio
-- which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, as it starts at
folio_next(folio) -- staying locked and in the page cache to hold off
eviction. But the unlock loop unlocks @folio before i_mmap_unlock_read()
runs. If the caller's @lock_at is a tail beyond EOF, as memory_failure()
passes when splitting a poisoned tail of a shmem THP that reaches past
i_size during truncation, it too is gone from the page cache; so once
@folio is unlocked no locked, in-cache folio pins the inode, and a
concurrent final iput() can evict and RCU-free it before
i_mmap_unlock_read() touches i_mmap_rwsem:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __up_read+0x634/0x790
   i_mmap_unlock_read include/linux/fs.h:537 [inline]
   __folio_split+0x732/0x1640 mm/huge_memory.c:4100
   try_to_split_thp_page+0xab/0x390 mm/memory-failure.c:1675
   memory_failure+0x1394/0x26e0 mm/memory-failure.c:2470

  Freed by task 4601:
   shmem_free_in_core_inode+0x54/0xb0 mm/shmem.c:5177
   evict+0x57f/0xac0 fs/inode.c:870

Do every mapping dereference while @folio still pins the inode: drop
i_mmap_rwsem right after remap_page(), before the loop that unlocks and
frees the after-split folios, and clear @mapping so the exit path does not
unlock it again. shmem_uncharge() and remap_page() already run before that
point, so after this nothing past the unlock loop touches the inode or the
mapping.

This is now a rule the split depends on, alongside keeping @folio frozen
until the page cache is updated: no inode or mapping dereference once the
after-split folios start being unlocked.

Ughh.. This patch is broken, sorry.

Please ignore the patchset. Will follow up.

[PATCH v2 2/5] mm/huge_memory: refuse to split a file folio when the anchor is beyond EOF

[Kiryl Shutsemau]

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

__folio_split() dereferences the mapping after the split completes:
shmem_uncharge(mapping->host) for folios dropped beyond EOF and
i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) on the way out.  Nothing holds an inode
reference for that duration; the split relies on the caller's locked
@lock_at folio, while it is locked and present in the page cache, to keep
the inode alive through eviction's truncate_inode_pages_final().

If @lock_at lies beyond EOF, __folio_freeze_and_split_unmapped() removes
it from the page cache while keeping it locked for the caller.  That drops
the pin and lets a concurrent final iput() evict and free the inode under
the still-running split.  On the anon side __folio_split() already pins
its anchor explicitly (folio_get_anon_vma()); the file side's anchor was
always the locked in-cache folio, just never enforced.

The only in-tree caller that passed a beyond-EOF @lock_at was
memory_failure(), fixed in the previous patch to anchor on the head.  Make
the requirement explicit so it cannot be reintroduced: refuse the split
with -EBUSY when @lock_at is at or beyond the sampled EOF.  Such a folio
is racing truncation, so there is nothing useful to split; -EBUSY is
already handled by every caller.

The check uses the same @end sampled under the folio lock that the drop
loop uses, so it does not race the trimming it guards against.

[PATCH v2 3/5] mm/huge_memory: remove unused split_huge_page_to_order()

[Kiryl Shutsemau]

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@kernel.org>

The last caller, memory_failure()'s try_to_split_thp_page(), was
converted to the folio-native split_folio_to_order() in the previous
change.  split_huge_page_to_order() now has no users; the folio helpers
(split_folio_to_order(), split_folio_to_list_to_order()) cover uniform
splits and split_huge_page() covers the order-0 case.  Remove it.

No functional change.

split_folio_to_list_to_order() had no direct callers; its only user was
