Subject[PATCH 5.4 01/38] mm: pagewalk: Fix race between unmap and page walker
Date
From: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>

commit 8782fb61cc848364e1e1599d76d3c9dd58a1cc06 upstream.

The mmap lock protects the page walker from changes to the page tables
during the walk. However a read lock is insufficient to protect those
areas which don't have a VMA as munmap() detaches the VMAs before
downgrading to a read lock and actually tearing down PTEs/page tables.

For users of walk_page_range() the solution is to simply call pte_hole()
immediately without checking the actual page tables when a VMA is not
present. We now never call __walk_page_range() without a valid vma.

For walk_page_range_novma() the locking requirements are tightened to
require the mmap write lock to be taken, and then walking the pgd
directly with 'no_vma' set.

This in turn means that all page walkers either have a valid vma, or
it's that special 'novma' case for page table debugging. As a result,
all the odd '(!walk->vma && !walk->no_vma)' tests can be removed.

Fixes: dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")

[manually backported. backport note: walk_page_range_novma() does not exist in
5.4, so I'm omitting it from the backport]
