Subject: [PATCH 09/13] mm/migrate_device: fix use-after-free of the anon rmap
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 18:13:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111-mason-migrate-et-al-fixes-v1-9-3d2454362e8d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111-mason-migrate-et-al-fixes-v1-0-3d2454362e8d@kernel.org>
A munmap() of anonymous memory can result in a use-after-free of the
anonymous rmap if a concurrent device memory migration occurs and the
migration runs without the mmap_lock held.
This can occur for a long-term pin of device-coherent memory, or a driver
evicting its device memory by PFN.
Consider:
eviction munmap()
======== ========
migrate_device_range()
migrate_device_unmap()
try_to_migrate()
zap the migration entry
unlink_anon_vmas()
last VMA: free the anon_vma
migrate_device_finalize()
remove_migration_ptes()
/* locks and walks the freed anon_vma */
If munmap() runs before try_to_migrate() instead, the folio is no longer
mapped and gets no migration entry. The walk still runs, and follows the
stale folio->mapping to the freed anon_vma.
Resolve this by pinning the anon rmap of each folio which possesses one in
migrate_device_range(), migrate_device_pfns() and
migrate_device_coherent_folio() before its PTEs are replaced, and
unpinning it once the walk is done.
A folio which is no longer mapped cannot be pinned and has no migration
entries to remove, so skip it rather than migrating it.
