Subject: [PATCH v2 06/10] memory-failure: Prevent UAF in raw_hwp_page list
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 19:47:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709184740.1286561-7-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709184740.1286561-1-willy@infradead.org>
Most accesses to the raw_hwp_page list are protected by mf_mutex.
However, the call to folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() in mm/hugetlb.c
does not. This is probably OK today as this is in the freeing path and
I think all current calls to is_raw_hwpoison_page_in_hugepage() hold a
reference to the folio. However, the next patch will call this function
without holding a reference on the folio, which will expose this race.
Rename the current folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() to
__folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() and wrap it with a new
folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison() for the benefit of external callers.
