mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walk
The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the pte/pmd manipulations). So it's not safe to wait the caller to update the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks. The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks. The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma. migrate mprotect ------------ ------------- migrating in "next" vma vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and # extends "current" vma # current vma is not with # vm_page_prot updated remove_migration_ptes read vm_page_prot of current "vma" establish pte with wrong permissions vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late! change_protection in the old vma range only, next range is not updated This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction in the background. Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger, in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen. This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN to: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully. It has the added benefits that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range, as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before releasing the rmap_locks).
