Subject: [PATCH 4.9 11/27] mm: discard memblock data later
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@...cle.com>
commit 3010f876500f9ba921afaeccec30c45ca6584dc8 upstream.
There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:
The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed. See comment in e820__memblock_setup():
* The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
* (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
* than that - so allow memblock resizing.
This memblock memory is freed here:
free_low_memory_core_early()
We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:
deferred_init_memmap()
for_each_mem_pfn_range()
__next_mem_pfn_range()
type = &memblock.memory;
One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.
Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.
