Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] mm/mmap: Fix uprobe anon page be overwritten when expanding vma during mremap
Date: Sat, 24 May 2025 18:45:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250524164516.GA11642@redhat.com> (raw)

I am very glad that mm experts are already looking into this problem ;)
I can't help, today I don't understand mm/vma.c even remotely. But let
me ask a couple of stupid questions.

> However, the
> upcomming move_page_tables step, which use set_pte_at to remap the vma2

To be honest, I can't even understand this part due to my ignorance.
What does "the old uprobe anon page to be orphan" actually mean?
How can the unnecessary uprobe_mmap() lead to an "unbalanced"
inc_mm_counter(MM_ANONPAGES) ? Or what else can explain the
"BUG: Bad rss-counter state" from check_mm() ? Or there are more problems?

I will appreciate it if someone provides a more detailed explanation
for dummies ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
But lets forget it for the moment. I fail to understand the usage of
uprobe_mmap() in vma_complete(). In particular, this one:

   334          if (vp->file) {
   335                  i_mmap_unlock_write(vp->mapping);
   336                  uprobe_mmap(vp->vma);

When exactly do we need this "unconditional" uprobe_mmap(vp->vma) ?
Why is it called by mremap() ?

But lets even forget about mremap(). Unless I am totally confused, it
is also called by munmap() if it implies split_vma().

From the reproducer:

	void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, 2 * 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);

In this case uprobe_mmap() is called by __mmap_complete(), it will call
uprobe_write_opcode(opcode_vaddr => addr2). This is clear.

Now, what if we do

	munmap(addr2, 4096);

after that? Afaics, in this case __split_vma() -> vma_complete() will call
uprobe_mmap(vp->vma) again, and uprobe_write_opcode() will try to install
the bp at the same addr2 vaddr we are going to unmap. Probably this is
harmless, but certainly this is sub-optimal...

No?

Oleg.
