Subject: [PATCH 0/1] uprobes: mmap_region() corrupts mm->mm_rb if uprobe_mmap() fails
Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 19:09:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120819170937.GA26957@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120819170917.GA26953@redhat.com>
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640
If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.
Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in fact
it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until at least
we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from install_breakpoint() to
uprobe_register().
For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register() succeeds
if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail in this case.
dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason, fork()
can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if it wins
the race and does install_breakpoint() first.
And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().
