Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmap_lock: Reset maple state on lock_vma_under_rcu() retry
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:56:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111215605.1721380-1-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com> (raw)

The retry in lock_vma_under_rcu() drops the rcu read lock before
reacquiring the lock and trying again.  This may cause a use-after-free
if the maple node the maple state was using was freed.

The maple state is protected by the rcu read lock.  When the lock is
dropped, the state cannot be reused as it tracks pointers to objects
that may be freed during the time where the lock was not held.

Any time the rcu read lock is dropped, the maple state must be
invalidated.  Resetting the address and state to MA_START is the safest
course of action, which will result in the next operation starting from
the top of the tree.

Prior to commit 0b16f8bed19c ("mm: change vma_start_read() to drop RCU
lock on failure"), the rcu read lock was dropped and NULL was returned,
so the retry would not have happened.  However, now that the read lock
is dropped regardless of the return, we may use a freed maple tree node
cached in the maple state on retry.
