Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: skip non-shareable VMAs in hugetlb_vmdelete_list
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
hugetlb_vmdelete_list() processes VMAs from the i_mmap interval tree
during truncate operations. This tree should only contain shareable
(VM_MAYSHARE) mappings, as private mappings are handled through
different code paths.
However, VMAs without shareable locks can incorrectly appear in this
path, causing assertion failures in huge_pmd_unshare() when it calls
hugetlb_vma_assert_locked(). The assertion expects a lock to be held
for the VMA being processed.
When hugetlb_vma_trylock_write() succeeds but the VMA has no shareable
lock (__vma_shareable_lock returns false), the code proceeds to call
unmap_hugepage_range(). Inside this function, huge_pmd_unshare() calls
hugetlb_vma_assert_locked() which fails because no lock is actually held,
resulting in a kernel panic:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6594 Comm: syz.0.28 Not tainted
Call Trace:
hugetlb_vma_assert_locked+0x1dd/0x250
huge_pmd_unshare+0x2c8/0x540
__unmap_hugepage_range+0x6e3/0x1aa0
unmap_hugepage_range+0x32e/0x410
hugetlb_vmdelete_list+0x189/0x1f0
Fix by skipping VMAs that don't have a shareable lock. These VMAs
should not be in the shared mapping deletion path and are handled
by separate code paths for private mappings.
