Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 12:49:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527-zram-v2-1-2fb84b054b5c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527-zram-v2-0-2fb84b054b5c@gmail.com>

zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path
based on whether the parent bio is NULL.  zram_bvec_write_partial()
passes its parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is
dispatched asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the
bio is still in flight.  The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(),
zram_write_page() and __free_page() on the buffer, leaving the
async read to write into a freed page.

zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the
write_partial counterpart was missed.

Fixes: 4e3c87b9421d ("zram: fix synchronous reads")
