Subject: CVE-2022-49760: mm/hugetlb: fix PTE marker handling in hugetlb_change_protection()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/hugetlb: fix PTE marker handling in hugetlb_change_protection()

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: uffd-wp fixes for hugetlb_change_protection()".

Playing with virtio-mem and background snapshots (using uffd-wp) on
hugetlb in QEMU, I managed to trigger a VM_BUG_ON().  Looking into the
details, hugetlb_change_protection() seems to not handle uffd-wp correctly
in all cases.

Patch #1 fixes my test case.  I don't have reproducers for patch #2, as it
requires running into migration entries.

I did not yet check in detail yet if !hugetlb code requires similar care.


This patch (of 2):

There are two problematic cases when stumbling over a PTE marker in
hugetlb_change_protection():

(1) We protect an uffd-wp PTE marker a second time using uffd-wp: we will
    end up in the "!huge_pte_none(pte)" case and mess up the PTE marker.

(2) We unprotect a uffd-wp PTE marker: we will similarly end up in the
    "!huge_pte_none(pte)" case even though we cleared the PTE, because
    the "pte" variable is stale. We'll mess up the PTE marker.

For example, if we later stumble over such a "wrongly modified" PTE marker,
we'll treat it like a present PTE that maps some garbage page.

This can, for example, be triggered by mapping a memfd backed by huge
pages, registering uffd-wp, uffd-wp'ing an unmapped page and (a)
uffd-wp'ing it a second time; or (b) uffd-unprotecting it; or (c)
unregistering uffd-wp. Then, ff we trigger fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
on that file range, we will run into a VM_BUG_ON:

Fix it by not going into the "!huge_pte_none(pte)" case if we stumble over
an exclusive marker.  spin_unlock() + continue would get the job done.

However, instead, make it clearer that there are no fall-through
statements: we process each case (hwpoison, migration, marker, !none,
none) and then unlock the page table to continue with the next PTE.  Let's
avoid "continue" statements and use a single spin_unlock() at the end.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
