Subject: [PATCH 4.9 60/71] mm/hugetlb: fix a race between hugetlb sysctl handlers

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@...edance.com>

commit 17743798d81238ab13050e8e2833699b54e15467 upstream.

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.
    ...
