mm/hugetlb: fix a race between hugetlb sysctl handlers
There is a race between the assignment of `table->data` and write value to the pointer of `table->data` in the __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() on the other thread. CPU0: CPU1: proc_sys_write hugetlb_sysctl_handler proc_sys_call_handler hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common hugetlb_sysctl_handler table->data = &tmp; hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common table->data = &tmp; proc_doulongvec_minmax do_proc_doulongvec_minmax sysctl_head_finish __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax unuse_table i = table->data; *i = val; // corrupt CPU1's stack Fix this by duplicating the `table`, and only update the duplicate of it. And introduce a helper of proc_hugetlb_doulongvec_minmax() to simplify the code. The following oops was seen: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page Code: Bad RIP value. ...
