Subject: [PATCH 3/3] uprobes: write_opcode()->__replace_page() can race with try_to_unmap()
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 19:00:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120607170041.GC31974@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120607165942.GA31966@redhat.com>
write_opcode() gets old_page via get_user_pages() and then calls
__replace_page() which assumes that this old_page is still mapped
after pte_offset_map_lock().
This is not true if this old_page was already try_to_unmap()'ed,
and in this case everything __replace_page() does with old_page
is wrong. Just for example, put_page() is not balanced.
I think it is possible to teach __replace_page() to handle this
unlikely case correctly, but this patch simply changes it to use
page_check_address() and return -EAGAIN if it fails. The caller
should notice this error code and retry.
Note: write_opcode() asks for the cleanups, I'll try to do this
in a separate patch.
