Subject: [PATCHv3 2/2] kernel/kexec: Fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 09:48:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251216014852.8737-2-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251216014852.8737-1-piliu@redhat.com>

*** Bug description ***

When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:

[   40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198
[...]
[   40.816047] Call trace:
[   40.818498]  kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198 (P)
[   40.823221]  ima_kexec_post_load+0x58/0xc0
[   40.827246]  __do_sys_kexec_file_load+0x29c/0x368
[...]
[   40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

*** How to reproduce ***

This bug is only triggered when the kexec target address is allocated in
the CMA area. If no CMA area is reserved in the kernel, use the "cma="
option in the kernel command line to reserve one.

*** Root cause ***
The commit 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous
allocation") allocates the kexec target address directly on the CMA area
to avoid copying during the jump. In this case, there is no IND_SOURCE
for the kexec segment.  But the current implementation of
kimage_map_segment() assumes that IND_SOURCE pages exist and map them
into a contiguous virtual address by vmap().

*** Solution ***
If IMA segment is allocated in the CMA area, use its page_address()
directly.
